Employee Code of Conduct and Declaration of the Group Code of Conduct
Our management practices incorporate extensive CSR and compliance initiatives to ensure safety and peace of mind for all stakeholders.
In 2011, Itochu Enex marked the 40th anniversary of its founding by defining an Employee Code of Conduct that asks employees to "Be Ethical" and establishing a Declaration of the Group Code of Conduct, our promise to exercise sound judgment as responsible business people and members of society in the day-to-day conduct of business. Every one of our employees is committed to abiding by this declaration.
To ensure that the Itochu Enex Group continues to earn the trust of all stakeholders as an integrated energy company, all group employees will remain ever mindful of the "Be Ethical" Code of Conduct and strive to fulfill our corporate social responsibility through the Group's business activities.
