The Basic Perspective of CSR

The Basic Perspective of CSR

Since the company was established, Kyocera has followed its Management Rationale, “To provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and through our joint effort, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind.” By using “What is the right thing to do as a human being?” as the decision-making criterion, management has been based on the “Kyocera Philosophy”. “Fairness, impartiality, justice, effort, courage, philanthropy, modesty and good faith” are among the basic human attitudes we encourage. Applying these as our code of conduct in “a spirit of caring for others”, Kyocera has continually “endeavored to make products that benefit the world”. In other words, for the Kyocera Group, CSR is certainly not a new concept. It is none other than an application of the basis of our management – the Kyocera Philosophy. Application of the Kyocera Philosophy builds mutual trust with people who have interests in the company. Ultimately, it contributes to sustainable development of the Kyocera Group and the healthy development of society.

 The Objective of CSR Activity
Advancing organizational CSR activities based on application of the Kyocera Philosophy builds mutual trust with people who have interests in the corporation. It forms the foundation for sustainable development of the Kyocera Group, while contributing to the healthy development of society.

Compliance and Risk Management

 Compliance System
According to the Kyocera Philosophy, the basis for making decisions is the question: “What is the right thing to do as a human being?” All employees share this most fundamental code of conduct. Kyocera has established “Kyocera Action Guidelines” to assist employees in following the Kyocera Philosophy. Our Guidelines are continually being improved. Kyocera’s Risk Management Headquarters Division has placed Risk Management staff throughout the Kyocera Group. The Risk Management staff within each business division works to ensure thorough knowledge of legal matters, as well as anticipating and preventing risk. Additionally, an Overseas Risk Management Department was set up within the Risk Management Division in April 2008. In Japan and overseas, the entire Kyocera Group is thus promoting compliance.

 Risk Management
Aiming to become “An innovative enterprise that continues to grow,” the Kyocera Group supports global business development. This exposes us to increasingly diverse domestic and overseas risks stemming from political, economic and social changes. Appropriate safeguards are needed; therefore, Kyocera operates a total risk management system to prevent risks and implement countermeasures. Two systems have been prepared. The Compliance Management System aims for risk aversion in day-to-day operations. In an emergency situation, the Emergency Response System is activated to minimize damage, based on the Crisis Management Manual.

Basic Policy of Risk Management
1. Thorough legal compliance
2. Superior workplace ethics
3. Prevention and countermeasures within a total risk management system
