In the year ended March 2007 the OKI Group reaffirmed initiatives at group companies in each area of the OKI Group Charter of Corporate Conduct in order to further establish the charter within the group and raise awareness of it. We also formulated the OKI Group Procurement Policy, which reflects the content of the charter. In doing so we created a system by which the group can promote corporate social responsibility in partnership with our suppliers.
In the year ending March 2008 we will continue to deepen these initiatives, with the CSR Promotion Division, which was established in April, playing a leading role. As a part of this process we reorganized our CSR priorities as follows.
- We have redefined compliance promotion as ensuring full compliance with laws and regulations, and we have positioned this as the foundation of our CSR activities overall.
- Information security was previously one aspect of compliance promotion, but we have positioned this as a new priority in its own right. The group as a whole will work to strengthen security initiatives.
The other priorities remain the same, and we will continue to engage in initiatives that center on the areas outlined in the table below. In addition, we will work to raise awareness of the new OKI Group Code of Conduct among all group executives and employees.
