(1)One of the Company’s key commitments to stakeholders is the prevention of bribery and other corruption. This pledge is at the very heart of our business, as we signaled to the world in August 2017 when we signed the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). To advance its efforts to prevent corruption, Hamamatsu Photonics has completed preparation of in-house regulations to prevent corruption at overseas subsidiaries.

In May 2022, we held training for officers to inform and confirm the importance of anti-corruption (anti-bribery of foreign civil servants).

(2)Prohibiting the restriction of free competition is a core principle of the Company’s business. As part of our code of conduct, we direct all employees to make fair dealing and fair competition integral to our business activities.
