Fulfilling our responsibility to society by conducting all our business activities in accordance with our Mission Statement and the Chugai Business Conduct Guidelines
To realize its mission, Chugai has established a Mission Statement that includes seven Core Values to be shared as individuals and as a company in order to ensure sound business activities as we work toward our Envisioned Future.
The Core Values also form the basis of the Chugai Business Conduct Guidelines (Chugai BCG), a code of behavior for management decision-making and employees. Moreover, we have formulated a mid-term business plan, Sunrise 2012, and are working to achieve its targets.
By conducting business activities with the Mission Statement at their core, we fulfill our social responsibility as a company and meet the diverse expectations of our stakeholders.
Relationships between the Mission Statement, Chugai BCG and Business Plan
Framework for Promoting Social Responsibility
The Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, chaired by the Deputy President, deliberates and makes decisions on issues, policies, targets and action plans concerning social responsibility for all of the Chugai Group's business activities. The Corporate Social Responsibility Department is in charge of implementing the committee's decisions and presiding over daily activities, and works to provide support for CSR activities and assess their results.
In the Corporate Ethics Promotion Committee, a practical unit for promoting social responsibility, members assigned in each workplace to promote the Chugai BCG receive information and training and exchange opinions. They then return to their respective workplaces to support the heads of their organizations in promoting the Chugai BCG and activities to enhance awareness of human rights.
At the Environmental Safety Secretariat Meeting, environmental and safety results and targets for the next year are shared with the individuals responsible at each facility. This information is used to draw up action plans.
Framework for Promoting Social Responsibility (As of April 1, 2011)
BCG Hotline
The BCG Hotline has been set up in-house to provide opportunities for consultation about any suspected issues or questions related to the law, Company rules, or the Chugai BCG.
Use of the hotline facilitates response to and resolution of problems or other matters that are difficult to discuss in the workplace. This enhances the capacity of each workplace to address its own issues, and fosters a positive environment.
