Konica Minolta's concept of compliance includes not only adherence to laws in a particular country, but also observance of corporate ethics and internal rules. Based on this approach, in October 2003 when the Konica Minolta Group was created, the President and CEO of Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. issued a Compliance Declaration, and established the Konica Minolta Group Conduct Guidelines. These guidelines provide a common basis for the governance of group companies in Japan and are given the highest priority in conducting all corporate activities. For group companies outside Japan, codes of conduct or manuals addressing compliance issues are formulated in line with the Konica Minolta Group Conduct Guidelines.
To promote a thorough understanding of compliance, the Group is offering educational opportunities to its employees. This training aims to provide knowledge to its employees and encourages them to achieve compliance in their daily activities. Konica Minolta is promoting the creation of a system that will realize these aims, while striving to foster shared Group-wide values and create a corporate culture that recognizes that compliance is demanded by society.
Konica Minolta will continue to practice compliance on a global scale, while taking into consideration differences in laws, cultures and customs found in various countries and regions.
