Charter of Corporate Behavior
We shall respect the dignity and rights of all people, and shall not discriminate against people unfairly on the basis of race, sex, religion, or any other reason. We shall also expect our suppliers and other contractors to refrain from any infringement of human dignity and rights or discriminatory practices.

Recognition of Issues and Basic Approach

  1. We shall respect the dignity and rights of all people in every aspect of our corporate activities, and never engage in unjustifiable discrimination whatever the circumstances, whether race, gender, religion, or any other reason.
  2. In the promotion of specific enlightenment activities, each Group company shall autonomously set policies and priority issues. We shall consistently put into practice activities aimed at becoming a corporate group that offers a pleasant work environment, makes employees motivated, is accepted by society, and has a highly developed awareness of human rights. At the same time, we shall seek to work together as a group.

The Verbatim Group has established Global Policy on Respecting Human Rights, Employment and Labor as its specific human rights guideline in tandem with conveying to all Group members its basic approach to human rights in conformity with international norms such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and ISO26000. Overseas Group companies endeavour to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to each country and best practices concerning human rights, and raise the satisfaction levels of employees, along with conducting appropriate value chain management in the course of expanding their business activities.
