I. Background

カジノシークレット 出金 反映時間nren (The Japan Business Federation) has long considered the establishment of corporate ethics to be a critical mission and has therefore invested considerable time and resources into the development and promotion of the "Charter of Corporate Behavior." Although this mission has realized considerable success to date in terms of our fight against antisocial elements, an unfortunate series of scandals affecting consumers has provoked the widespread criticism not only of the corporations directly involved, but also of Japanese business as a whole. Social solidarity and trust form the foundation upon which business is possible. Recent events have damaged this trust, and, if left unchecked, may even undermine confidence in the free market economy.
In order to redress this situation, カジノシークレット 出金 反映時間nren calls upon its members to renew their commitment to the Charter of Corporate Behavior and further promote its effectiveness by 1) Strengthening the commitment of corporate management towards corporate ethics, 2) Developing internal systems effective for the prevention of corporate misconduct, and 3) Implementing concrete systems and measures for dealing with actual instances of corporate misconduct.
In addition to paying special attention to legal compliance and the prevention of corporate misconduct, カジノシークレット 出金 反映時間nren calls upon corporate management to take positive action in the event of corporate misconduct, to publicly disclose details of any incidents and to take every action necessary to redress such problems and prevent their recurrence.
