Management PolicyCSR Activities
The TAIYO YUDEN Group implements a management philosophy that focuses on "employee well-being," "betterment of local communities" and "responsibility to provide returns to shareholders." Over the years, we have strived to build strong relationships with all stakeholders, beginning with the Company's shareholders, with a strong focus on enhancing corporate value.
In 2005 the TAIYO YUDEN Group formulated its CSR Charter (TAIYO YUDEN’s Social Responsibility), and in 2006 it formulated the CSR Code of Conduct as a concrete code of behavior to which employees must adhere.
Based on the CSR Charter and CSR Code of Conduct, the entire TAIYO YUDEN Group engages in CSR activities.
The Compliance and Risk Management Committee supervises all the CSR activities of the TAIYO YUDEN Group. The chairman of the Committee is a Representative Director, and all TAIYO YUDEN directors are Committee members. The promotion organization is comprised of officers in charge of business operations and head quarter divisions appointed for each provision of the Code of Conduct and each applicable risk. TAIYO YUDEN management is conducted in accordance with this system (the Compliance and Risk Management System) and implemented by each Group company in accordance with the activity policy and rules in common established by the promotion organization.
In order to realize the purpose of the CSR Charter, the TAIYO YUDEN Group has built a CSR management system. This system puts in place the mechanisms and rules that ensure adherence to laws and regulations and promote the CSR Code of Conduct. Based on this, each Group company conducts CSR activities using PDCA.
Furthermore, TAIYO YUDEN continually monitors and checks this system by using internal audits and a whistle-blowing system. Annual reviews of business results are done to assure continuous improvements of all CSR activities.
The TAIYO YUDEN Group continually strives to assure fulfillment and awareness of its CSR responsibilities. We engage in safety and environment initiatives based on the CSR Charter. We continually work to ensure the safety of the workplace, to maintain the health of our employees, and to co-exist with nature by reducing the burden on the environment through a variety of business activities.
