Behavior Guidelines for Management and Employees of MinebeaMitsumi
Ⅰ.Declaration
As a corporate citizen, MinebeaMitsumi formulated the Code of Conduct for MinebeaMitsumi in 2005 to maintain appropriate behavior. While requiring all management personnel (directors, supervisors, and senior executives, hereinafter the same) and employees to adhere to it, MinebeaMitsumi widely disclosed the purpose and measures committed to the Code of Conduct to shareholders, customers, employees, local communities, and business partners.
The Behavior Guidelines for Management and Employees of MinebeaMitsumi have been newly formulated as detailed rules in the Code of Conduct of MinebeaMitsumi. The purpose is to emphasize that it is the responsibility of all managers and employees to ensure the company’s compliance with laws and regulations. Besides taking corporate actions, each management personnel and employee should be more cautious and responsible for their own behaviors than ever before. We should be acutely aware that such an era has arrived. On this premise, all management personnel and employees of MinebeaMitsumi should share the values and ethics advocated in the Code of Conduct of MinebeaMitsumi so as to better practice these guidelines in specific actions.
I hereby declare that as the person with the highest responsibility for compliance, I will lead by example. In addition, all management personnel and employees of our company are required to follow my lead and strictly adhere to these Behavior Guidelines based on a full understanding of the above purpose.
