The Shin-Etsu Polymer Group recognizes that the foundation of management is to increase its corporate value as a global company that is trusted and expected by shareholders and other stakeholders. Based on this fundamental understanding, we will strive to enhance corporate governance by accelerating management decision-making, ensuring transparency, and strengthening internal control functions, as well as by making and implementing appropriate decisions from the perspective of our stakeholders.

　Furthermore, we view compliance-based business activities as one of the most important issues that a company must continue to undertake, and are therefore working to expand our reporting system and provide regular compliance education. Additionally, we are promoting risk management based on the "Risk Management Regulations," which stipulate our risk management system and how to respond to any risks that may occur.
