Compliance Hotlines

Sumitomo Electric President Message

Dear Colleagues,

Compliance is a social obligation of Sumitomo Electric Group and an absolute foundation for sustainable development as a company trusted by society. The principles of the Sumitomo Spirit, “Banji-nissei”, “Shinyo-kakujitsu” and “Fusu-furi”(*), also guide us to carry out business with integrity and compliance. Always ask yourself, “Are my business actions for or against the Sumitomo Spirit?”

In addition, in order to promote effective compliance, I ask every employee to “speak up”, particularly with respect to ethics concerns. As a part of our commitment to speaking up, we have in place a rule and system for the external hotline as one of many resources available to you in order to speak up, if you become aware of a suspected or actual violation of the law, our Code of Conduct, our Company’s policies, etc. Do not hesitate to use it by all means.

Thank you for the work you do for Sumitomo Electric Group every day, and for your commitment to doing that work in accordance with the Sumitomo Spirit.

Osamu Inoue
President & COO
Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.

*Banji-nissei – Do your sincere best in not only business but also every aspect of your life.
