Risk Management and Compliance |
 |
|
|
| The Kyocera Philosophy places "What is the right thing to do as a human being?" as the decision-making criterion for all things. This most fundamental guide for action is shared by all employees. The Kyocera Employee's Action Guideline has been prepared based on the Kyocera Philosophy, and forms the foundation of compliance. |

| Risk Management Policy |
|
 |
|
| Aiming to become "An innovative enterprise that continues to grow," The Kyocera Group is advancing global business development. This exposes us to increasingly diverse domestic and overseas risks stemming from political, economic and social changes. Appropriate safeguards are needed, and Kyocera has therefore established a risk management policy. |

| Compliance System |
|
|
|
| Kyocera is steadily strengthening the compliance system. Headquarters Risk Management Officers, Risk Management Officers at each office, Risk Management Officers appointed at each business division, and Kyocera Group Risk Management Officers (within Japan) all work to ensure thorough knowledge of legal matters, as well as anticipation and prevention of risk. |

| Measures for Exclusion of Antisocial Elements |
|
|
|
|
Kyocera Group policies on corporate governance and internal control include prevention of criminal involvement in management activities and prevention of damage by such elements. The basis of measures for exclusion of illegal activities is that "All companies are united in confronting illegal activities with determination." Meanwhile, the Kyocera Employee's Action Guideline clearly specifies "a decisive attitude based on the law" in dealing with illegal activities. The Kyocera Group is taking thorough steps to prevent any such activity. |

| Business Continuity Planning (BCP) |
|
|
|
In light of the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck in March 2011, The Kyocera Group is implementing further risk avoidance measures to ensure continuity of business activities in the case of an emergency.
The Kyocera Group had already been developing production activities at multiple bases in Japan and abroad with the goal to avoid the risks stemming from excessiveconcentration of production. While enhancing production at existing bases, we will continue to build new production bases from the perspectives of further business expansion and risk avoidance. Business Continuity Planning is being implemented also in procurement of raw materials and components. The Kyocera Group is strengthening the supply system through expansion of sources, and other means, to prevent stoppages in production activity if an emergency occurs. |

| Information Security Measures |
|
|
|
| The Kyocera Group is implementing effective and efficient use of information assets. Basic criteria that need to be observed have been clarified for handling of information assets by employees and other parties. Information security measures are being applied with the objective of attaining thorough protection of information assets. |
|
| |
| Protection of Intellectual Property Rights |
|
|
|
| The basic policy of the Kyocera Group is to safeguard the yields of research and development by the Group as intellectual property rights, and to respect the intellectual property rights of others. Based on this policy, the Kyocera Employee's Action Guidelines states: "The intellectual property rights held by Kyocera are extremely valuable company assets. Please strive to safeguard intellectual property rights. Kyocera must also respect the intellectual property rights of others." |
