As a engineering consulting firm, Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. is committed to the improvement of social infrastructure in developing countries, and many of those projects are under Official Development Assistance (ODA).
We are thus involved in highly public projects which are implemented based on the trust of each recipient country and international development organization. It is the most basic principle of management that such a company should have high ethical standards and ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
Accordingly, we strictly observe laws and regulations based on our Corporate Code of Conduct, which was established in April 2005, and our Comprehensive Compliance Manual (established in July 2010), a more detailed version of the Corporate Code of Conduct. These rules require Yachiyo Engineering and all of its members to fulfill its responsibilities appropriately in terms of respect for humanity, harmony with society, and environmental considerations, and to engage in sound corporate activities with high ethical standards. Our internal controls are also strengthened under these rules.
Here, Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. declares once again that it will not engage in any conduct which falls under bribery of public officials, including politicians, administrative officers, staff members of public organizations, employees of state-owned companies, and so on. At the same time, we request that our business partners take the same measures.
1. We will ensure compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) of the United States, the Unfair Competition Prevention Act of Japan, the related laws and regulations of countries where we work, and the guidelines of international development organizations, including the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
2.We will not provide public officials with benefits, such as money, gifts, and entertainment, or bear expenses which should be borne by public officials with an improper intent, such as the expectation to receive favorable treatment concerning the company's business.
3.We will develop highly transparent, sound relationships with public officials and will not engage in any acts that lead to suspicions of collusion.
We formulated our BCP to protect the safety and employment of our employees and their family members, minimizing the impact on business execution, and earning the trust and realizing the needs of our clients. Considering the safety and well-being of our employees and their family members as the top priority for continuing our business, we introduced a "safety confirmation system" (in order to confirm their safety). We provide training to our employees on communication utilizing multiple channels such as satellite phones and online tools in the event of a disaster. We have established an operational system in the event of a disaster, bearing in mind the saying, "if we can't do in normal times, we can't do at the time of a disaster either".
