Fulfilling Social Responsibilities
Guided by its corporate philoso"phy, Resonating with People and Nature", and making customer safety, security and satisfaction its highest priorities, the Suntory Group continues to pursue quality assurance and customer responsiveness. It is at the same time engaging in vigorous, ongoing pursuit of environmental preservation and social and cultural activities in every aspect of its business.
In April 2003, the Suntory Group established its "Code of Business Ethics", which defines the universal values and code of conduct to be shared by every employee with the aim of inspiring greater trust and continuing to fulfill the Group's social responsibilities as a good corporate citizen. We also established a special Compliance Department and implemented efforts to disseminate and ensure observance of the "Code of Business Ethics" throughout the Group. In March 2005, moreover, we established the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Department in the Group Strategy Planning Division. Thus positioning CSR as a management strategy and committing ourselves to constantly trustworthy corporate behavior, we are promoting active CSR aimed at attaining recognition of the distinctive values of the Suntory Group among customers and society.
