Introduction

Since Japanese corporations have tremendous influence both at home and abroad, they also have great responsibilities with respect to their behavior. With this in mind, the recent series of incidents relating to the securities and financial industries have set the scene for the establishment of good corporate behavior which will, in turn, inspire public confidence and acceptance by the international arena. These "recent series of incidents" have again brought attention to the role which top management must focus on in order to develop カジノシークレット 出金 速度urrect corporate image and behavior. It is also strongly desired that the top management examine and discipline their own behavior and exercise leadership in keeping moral standards high in their corporations.

カジノシークレット 出金 速度orporate social environment is changing through the need for corporations to co-exist with consumers and the public. Also corporate respect for individuals and consideration of stockholders' rights, as well as progressive globalization, must be met. We must not forget either カジノシークレット 出金 速度hanging responsibilities that society expects カジノシークレット 出金 速度orporations to meet. Today's business firms, although economic entities seeking to earn appropriate profits through fair competition, are expected to be entities that serve to help people live lives of plenty as well as being of some use to society. Toward this end, corporations must not merely obey the law but also bring a social conscience to bear on their undertakings. As employees are constituent members of corporations who also participate in society as individual consumers and residents, it is clear that from now on corporation must demonstrate their ability to meet society's demands and show themselves as trusted corporate citizens.

From this perspective, Japanese corporations need to rigorously reconsider traditional business practices and their own behavior. So as not to give grounds for カジノシークレット 出金 速度riticism that Japanese business practices are exclusionary and opaque, it is urgent for us to work to achieve a free, transparent, fair market and establish international confidence in Japan's economic system. In doing so, we should pay particular attention to recent criticism that the principles of corporate behavior deviate from social norms and are difficult to understand from the outside. In response to such criticism, corporations must make an effort to regulate their own behavior in a manner that can be seen from the outside.

Individual corporations and industries have already made various efforts to introduce rules and regulations. カジノシークレット 出金 速度his juncture, however, we are requesting thカジノシークレット 出金 速度he top management of individual firms and industry organizations take the lead in securing total observance of the spirit of this charter within their corporations and industries and thカジノシークレット 出金 速度hey conduct an overall review of their corporate behavior and business practices. The goal of a free, transparent, and fair market can be achieved only with repeated efforts by corporations to review their overall behavior and with the establishment of the principle that corporations must assume responsibility for their own acts and decisions.

We hope thカジノシークレット 出金 速度his charter will be a reference for member corporations as they engage in overall reviews thカジノシークレット 出金 速度ake into account their individual circumstances and the nature of their businesses. In addition to following up on the results of these reviews, Keidanren intends to work on topics like the reconsideration of business practices. In addition, we will endeavor to deepen communication with consumers and residents through open forums and other public relations and policy dialogue activities so as to close the gap between corporate behavior and social norms.
