CSR Activities
Basic Stance Regarding CSR Activities
The TAIYO YUDEN Group's management philosophy is to support employee well-being, support the betterment of local communities, and accept responsibility to provide returns to shareholders. The fulfillment of these responsibilities is the basis of management at TAIYO YUDEN.
Business enterprises can not develop all alone, but they evolve along with local communities. Fifty years ago, our business involvement with local communities was confined to Japanese society, but now it has spread worldwide. By this change, we have obtained more opportunities to expand our business and to increase the economic value of our products. At the same time, however, the range of our stakeholders has broadened, and their requirements and expectations are growing bigger and deeper.
As we turn these opportunities into results which incorporate an increase in economic value, we will also enhance our social value by responding to stakeholders' requirements and expectations, and by fulfilling our social responsibilities.To accomplish this goal, we take responsibility not only for the safety and quality of our products, but also for our activities within the Company that are related with labor and human rights, safety and health, the environment, and ethics.
CSR Charter
To present the management philosophy of the TAIYO YUDEN Group more clearly to stakeholders, in 2005 the CSR Charter (TAIYO YUDEN Group's Charter on Social Responsibility) was established. To win the trust and goodwill of society, the TAIYO YUDEN Group will respect human rights, keep abreast of and comply with laws and international rules and regulations, and take a socially conscious course of action based on high ethical standards.

CSR Activities Promotion Framework
In the Group's CSR activities, overall management is provided by the Compliance and Risk Management Committee, chaired by the President and attended by all directors. The promotion organization is comprised of officers in charge and HQ divisions appointed for each provision of the Code of Conduct and each applicable risk, and management is carried out according to a system (the Compliance and Risk Management System) implemented by each group company in accordance with the activity policy and rules in common established by the promotion organization.
CSR Management System
The TAIYO YUDEN Group has built a CSR management system to achieve the goals set forth in our CSR Charter and assure compliance with the CSR Code of Conduct.
In carrying out CSR activities, we follow the provisions of our Code of Conduct and comply with laws and regulations as a matter of course. We also have a framework and rules in place for promoting proper conduct and all of our group sites employ a management system based on the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle.
These activities are checked through internal audits and a notification system. An annual review of CSR performance is conducted and activities are continually being improved.
