We recognize that the entire Company, including the management, must participate in the effort if we are to fully realize the spirit of the IBIDEN Group Charter of Behavior. The management also understands that it should lead by example to ensure that these efforts take place thoroughly throughout the Company as well as among our Group companies, and to encourage our suppliers to participate. Furthermore, we pay continuous attention to the voices of people both inside and outside the Company and have put in place an effective corporate structure.

Moreover, we will communicate accurately and in a timely manner the information regarding the incident including accountability. Finally, after authority and responsibility are clarified, severe consequences will be imposed.
Managing Activities Related to the IBIDEN Group Charter of Behavior
The IBIDEN Group Charter of Behavior was established to reflect the international movement as well as requests of external stakeholders in implementing ESG management, in accordance with the Company's corporate philosophy, the IBIDEN WAY. As an international common understanding, we value and reflect the ISO26000 Guidance, responsibilities required of a company by the UN Global Compact. Moreover, we also assess and reflect items emphasized by domestic initiatives such as the Charter of Corporate Code of the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren) the Company is affiliated with in the Charter of Behavior.
In order to develop these ideas into specific activities, we have compiled, based on global standards and requests from and assessments of outside organizations: items that should be managed by IBIDEN as a company in the "IBIDEN Social Responsibility Management Standards," compliance behavioral guidelines for each employee in the "IBIDEN Standards for Employee Behavior," and the "IBIDEN Group Supply Chain CSR Guidelines" for our suppliers.
In drawing up these three standards and guidelines, we incorporated revisions while bearing in mind the requirements of law and those of external stakeholders. As an example, as part of the supply chain, we referred to the code of conduct established by the industry coalition RBA.* The division in charge of compliance promotion prepared drafts, which were issued after discussions by the Management Council with participation by top management. We have broken them down into specific practical procedures, including internal rules and guidelines, in the IBIDEN Management System (hereinafter "IMS") and operate them to improve systems and activity levels.
