CSR(Corporate Social Responsibility)
CSR Management
Approach to CSR
We aim to perform activities to fulfill corporate social responsibility (CSR) not as something isolated from daily operations but as part of our business activities. In addition, the basic approach to all stakeholders mentioned in the Mission Statement has underpinned our CSR activities consistently since our early days. For example, we have continued the recycling of bullion (see 「Protection of the Global Environment Aiming to Establish a Sound Material-cycle Society」) as part of our daily activities since our founding, which is symbolized by the slogan "Any bullion is money," and it is a typical initiative to reduce environmental impact. We continuously promote activities to incorporate CSR into our daily business operations through community involvement, which is represented by social contribution activities (see 「Contribution to Local Communities and Society」), as well as activities to conserve biodiversity in the environment (see 「Protection of the Global Environment Conservation of Biodiversity」) and other initiatives.
Mission Statement
Having spent more than 130 years in business since our foundation, we set our basic approach to all corporate activities, including those for corporate social responsibility (CSR), in addition to the improvement of quality, productivity and technology, in the Mission Statement.
Corporate Philosophy and Code of Conduct
The Corporate Philosophy states that we will lead the precious metals industry, implement various business continuity activities including the conservation of the global environment and work for the creation of a prosperous society based on the basic approach mentioned in the Mission Statement. For the realization of the Corporate Philosophy, we specify five basic stances on actions that should be considered in daily activities as Code of Conduct, along with the Mission Statement.
Code of Conduct and Standards of Conduct
We describe the principles of corporate activities to fulfill social responsibility and contribute to the creation of a sustainable society in our daily activities in the Code of Conduct and the Standards of Conduct. They have been set in accordance with the seven core subjects of ISO 26000 and based on respect for internationally recognized standards in addition to compliance with domestic laws. We have also established a proper management system for compliance with the Standards of Conduct.
