The Dexerials Group’s corporate philosophy—“Integrity: Have Integrity and Sincerity”—is at the core of all our activities. Practicing compliance is not only our social responsibility but also the very realization of Dexerials’ corporate philosophy, and it is an essential element for sustainable growth and enhancement of corporate value.
As a company trusted by our customers and other stakeholders, we have set compliance as one of the ESG Key Issues, and are working to ensure compliance with laws and regulations globally while instilling our corporate philosophy.

The Dexerials Group has established the Dexerials Group Code of Conduct which all officers and employees of all Group companies should observe, and is promoting thorough compliance and sound business activities.
The Code of Conduct sets forth basic policies and specific commitments that all officers and employees should always uphold, and has been translated into three languages (English, Chinese, and Korean) and is applied to all Group companies both within and outside Japan.
To further promote compliance on a global basis based on the Code of Conduct, we are working to clarify our compliance system by establishing compliance system regulations and other initiatives.

Dexerials Group Code of Conduct

As a company operating globally, Dexerials Group has established an Anti-Corruption Policy under its corporate philosophy of “Integrity—Have Integrity and Sincerity.”
By complying with applicable laws and regulations in each country and region where we operate and by conducting fair, impartial, and sound transactions, we proactively prevent corruption, including bribery and any acts that may constitute such behavior. Through these efforts, we strive to remain a company trusted by all stakeholders.

Anti-Corruption Policy

The Dexerials Group complies with the tax laws of all countries and regions in which it operates, as well as with international rules, and fulfills its tax obligations in an appropriate and fair manner. In fiscal 2025, we formulated and disclosed our Tax Policy, which clearly prohibits the use of tax havens for the purpose of tax avoidance. Based on this policy, we are committed to properly managing tax risks and ensuring a high level of transparency in our tax practices, thereby fulfilling our social responsibility.

Tax Policy

To strengthen global compliance, we are disseminating the Compliance Handbook and providing education to all Group employees both within and outside Japan.

The Dexerials Group has designated October as “Compliance Month.”
During this month intensively, we send out a message from the President, implement compliance education for all Group companies, and distribute compliance information, etc., on a regular basis.

The Dexerials Group conducts training for all employees of all Group companies both within and outside Japan on compliance using e-learning and other means.
We also periodically distribute email newsletters “Compliance News” that explain compliance violation cases using manga to help employees feel compliance more familiar. The email newsletter is translated into three languages (English, Chinese, and Korean) and is shared with all Group companies both within and outside Japan as material that can be used for compliance education.

In January 2024, we conducted a compliance awareness survey at all Group companies in Japan and globally. The survey has been conducted since 2022. Its objective is to steadily improve the level of Group-wide compliance activities by periodically measuring the effectiveness, thoroughness, and penetration of the Group’s compliance initiatives, as well as changes in employee awareness, and by running the PDCA cycle.
The survey conducted in January 2024, based on a comparison and analysis of the previous results, revealed successful initiatives as well as new challenges. The details of the survey were reported by the Compliance Committee to the Representative Director and President and Executive Officers, and a summary was shared with all employees of the Dexerials Group.
As for the challenges identified, individual feedback was provided to each function and workplace. As part of the Compliance Committee’s activities, each function and workplace analyzes the issues and discusses potential measures. We regularly follow up on the progress of the planned measures through reports to the Compliance Committee; thereby working to strengthen compliance across the entire Group.

The Dexerials Group has established internal and external (via attorneys) points of contact (Hotline) for whistleblowing by employees, etc., at all Group companies both within and outside Japan to detect and alleviate compliance-related issues as early as possible.
All Dexerials Group employees are informed that the Hotline protects the safety of whistleblowers by allowing anonymous reporting and prohibiting disadvantageous treatment of whistleblowers. This means that all employees can use the Hotline with peace of mind. The Hotline is available in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean.
When a report is received, the Hotline will investigate the facts, and if the report is judged to be credible as a result of the investigation, the Representative Director and President and the relevant officers are notified, and the Board of Executive Officers, etc., will deliberate on and implement measures necessary for correction and prevention of recurrence.
