Fair operating practices

With the aim of maintaining international peace and safety, and from the perspective of encouraging the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the like and preventing the excessive stockpiling of regular weapons, our basic policy is to not illegally export or supply goods and technologies restricted by the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Act and other export-related laws in violation of such laws. We have also established security trade control rules in order to ensure appropriate security trade control. We will conduct thorough education and training and other measures to ensure that all Toyo Tanso employees are familiar with the intent of these rules and put them into action. In addition to such measures, we also invest in efforts aimed at ensuring fair transactions.
