CSR GUIDELINE 2 Uphold Corporate Ethics and Comply with Laws and Regulations

Corporate Culture Based on Ethics and Legal Compliance

Corporate Ethics and Legal Compliance Code of Conduct and the Handbook


Corporate Ethics and Legal Compliance Handbook

All Toray Group executives and employees are obligated to observe the specific provisions of the Corporate Ethics and Legal Compliance Code of Conduct adopted in October 2003 in all of their corporate activities, both in Japan and overseas.

Violations of these rules result in strict punishment pending an inquiry conducted by the Rewards and Sanctions Committee and are followed by disclosure of relevant information, an investigation of cause, and action to prevent a recurrence.

All Toray executives and employees (including part-time and temporary personnel) receive the Corporate Ethics and Legal Compliance Handbook, which indicates the Code of Conduct and detailed explanations and notes. The second edition of the Handbook was published in April 2007 in response to revisions of the Group's Management Philosophy, changes in applicable laws and regulations, and other new information.

The Group also creates similar codes of conduct, guidelines, handbooks, and other information for Japanese and overseas subsidiaries and affiliates with CSR/Legal Compliance Committees.

(operated by Dai-Ichi Hoki Co., Ltd.)

Toray encourages autonomous and voluntary educational activities in every workplace to help spread employee awareness of corporate ethics and legal compliance issues.Workplaces regularly discuss such issues at monthly meetings, conduct study groups, and research case studies in corporate misdeeds reported by the media.

Company-wide activities and initiatives in FY 2006 included efforts to enhance legal compliance training in security trade administration and the deployment in November of a Legal Reform Information Distribution System through which information about changes in laws that are applicable to the Group's activities is sent out to all divisions as well as Japanese subsidiaries and affiliates in a weekly email. We also launched a Company-wide CSR/Legal Compliance Bulletin Board system on the Company intranet in February 2007 as part of an effort to strengthen our ability to distribute information about legal compliance issues.
