Security Export Control

【Governance & Risk Management】

Security Export Control

Security export control is an international framework implemented cooperatively by countries to prevent advanced goods and technologies from being diverted to countries, regions, or organizations that pose security concerns, including those involved in the development or manufacture of weapons of mass destruction or terrorist activities.
In recent years, the global security environment has become increasingly complex, while the internationalization of business activities and the expansion of cross border people-to-people exchanges have continuously progress. Accordingly, the importance of appropriate export control has grown significantly. We recognize our responsibility to implement proper security export control in compliance with the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (FEFTA) of Japan.
To fulfill this responsibility, we have established the Security Export Control Program and have built a management framework chaired by the President. Based on an understanding of export control regulations and trends in Japan and other countries, we implement appropriate export control measures and conduct our business operations responsibly.

 

Basic Policies on Security Export Control

Under the Security Export Control Program, we have established the following basic policies:

  1. Compliance with Japanese Export Control Laws
    We will not, either directly or indirectly, export goods, provide technologies, or engage in intermediary trade transactions or technology brokerage in violation of FEFTA or other applicable laws and regulations to countries or regions subject to export restrictions.
  2. Compliance with Foreign Laws with Extraterritorial Application
    When re exporting goods or re transferring technologies regulated by foreign laws with extraterritorial application, we will strictly comply with such laws and will not engage in any re export or re transfer that violates applicable foreign regulations.

Enhancement of Management System and Improvement of Export Screening Efficiency

One of the key features of our business is the long term relationships with customers around the world throughout the entire product lifecycle. This results in many transactions subject to export controls.
To address this, we leverage digital technologies to centrally collect and manage transaction-related information. By improving the efficiency of export screening processes while ensuring accuracy, we are working to further strengthen our security export control framework.
