Governance

NOSAWA positions the practice of compliance as one of our most critical management priorities. We not only adhere to laws and social norms but also conduct fair and transparent business activities in accordance with corporate ethics.

[ Introduction ]
We have built trust and our brand by conducting fair business activities in accordance with high corporate ethics. However, the brand that we have built over many years of effort can be lost in a single day due to the erroneous actions or decisions of one individual. This makes our appropriate judgment and actions all the more important. We position the practice of compliance as one of our most critical management priorities, ensuring that we not only adhere to laws and social norms but also conduct fair and transparent business activities in line with corporate ethics.

Compliance means adhering to laws and internal regulations, as well as appropriately considering general social norms and corporate ethics, to conduct lawful and fair business activities.
