Terasaki Electric Corporate Ethics

Message from the President

Since our founding in 1923, Terasaki Electric Co., Ltd. has conducted business activities under the management philosophy of: 1. Producing and selling products to delight and be delighted; 2. Placing the customer first; 3. Outdistancing the competition; 4. Expanding business globally; 5. Utilizing human resources; and 6. Distributing profits appropriately.

In today's context of corporate management, the conventional management approach of prioritizing financial results has come under scrutiny.

In other words, corporate stakeholders (customers, suppliers, industry bodies, shareholders, governments, local communities, the general public, employees and others associated with businesses) are demanding that businesses deliver on a wide range of social contributions. In short, this new age in business is requiring the corporate world to appropriately disclose information and demonstrate morals and transparency, pursue sound financial results, and establish a new system of values and a code of ethics that balance these requisites.

In order for Terasaki Electric to be the kind of company that society demands and still continue to develop and grow as a business, we will need to capture accurate information, seize the opportunities presented by changes in the business environment, and to stake bold challenges to rise to the occasion.

Therefore, to become this kind of company, we believe it is important to clearly define a system of values and a code of ethics that we should follow as an organization and its individual members.

For this purpose, we have adopted a Basic Policy of Corporate Ethics as part of our Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) and a Code of Ethics based on this policy. Nevertheless, this Code of Ethics will remain worthless unless it is put into practice. We need to use our own initiative to make the Code work, steadily and incrementally. This is vital in building a corporate culture where the Code truly comes alive.

Let us work together towards creating a better corporate culture so that we may continue to grow as a company and as individuals.
