In the current environment where bribery is being increasingly scrutinized all around the world, Toyoda Gosei (“TG”) has specified in its “Toyoda Gosei Guidelines for Business Ethics” that “we strive to maintain transparent, healthy, and fair relationships with governments, public offices, and political parties” and to continue to make efforts to prevent corruption, including bribery.

In consideration of the revision of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act in Japan, tighter regulations on bribery, stricter penalties, and an increase in the number of prosecutions in each country, “Toyoda Gosei Group Global Bribery Prevention Guidelines” (the “Guidelines”) is revised.

In consideration of “responding to social demand,” which is the purpose of compliance measures, bribery that is prohibited by law will never bring benefit to TG and will damage its social reputation and value. Even if it appears to be a temporary gain, TG will never permit pursuit of profits through bribery.

The Guidelines have been formulated as common guidelines for each company within Toyoda Gosei Group to pursue global, transparent, and sound business activities. Each employee is expected to thoroughly read and understand the Guidelines, and to conduct duties with due care so as not to engage in any acts which conflict with the regulations.
