Promotion of Compliance Management

Both in Japan and overseas, we will strictly abide by laws, regulations, and rules as well as social norms including the underlying ethics and morals, and each individual will practice the three conducts of “reflecting on good judgment,” “speaking honestly,” and “proactively making corrections.”

Specifically, we will engage in fair and free competition, appropriate transactions, and responsible procurement, as well as maintain sound relationships with governments and administrations. In our international business activities, we will respect the local culture and customs and work to contribute to local development.

Assurance of Industrial Safety and Health

Placing top priority on assuring safety as well as mental and physical health, which are the foundation of our business activities, we will strive to prevent industrial accidents as well as to maintain and promote health.

Formation of a Vibrant Corporate Culture

In order to enable diverse human resources to demonstrate their capabilities to solve issues and create new value, we will engage in training human resources and enabling technology and skills to be passed on to the new generation, as well as promote efforts to create an open workplace that not only values unfettered discussions between individuals from different organizations and posts, but is also comfortable and provides job satisfaction.

Rigorous Crisis Management

We will construct a crisis management structure in terms of our organization and our systems and rigorously carry out efforts toward preventing impact from occurring and minimizing any losses from impacts that do occur with regard to natural disasters, cyber attacks, actions by anti-social forces, terrorism, and other such threats to the social lives of citizens and our corporate business activities.

Duties of Executives

Executives of the Energia Group will engage in management with awareness that it is their duty to implement this Charter, and will construct governance with fairness, transparency, and viability, with an aim to improve the corporate value of the Group and achieve continuous growth. Furthermore, in implementing this Charter, they will take the lead and form an example, not only ensuring that all employees act in accordance with this Charter but also encouraging other parties in the Group’s supply chain to act in accordance with the spirit of this Charter.

If there is ever a situation that violates the spirit of this Charter and causes the Group to lose the trust placed in us by society, the executives will declare their intent to solve the said issue, working to discover the causes and prevent recurrence. Furthermore, the executives will fulfill their responsibility to provide explanations through prompt and accurate disclosure of information, and, having clarified the relevant authority and responsibility, impose strict punishments where appropriate, including on themselves.
