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. Positively positioning CSR as a management strategy and strengthening our efforts in this area as compared with the past, moreover, we established the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Department in March 2005.
