CSR/Compliance
CSR activities
The Tamura Group is actively involved in CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities with improvement in our corporate value through profit-oriented business operations.
Compliance Framework
To establish a compliance framework, we have launched a Compliance regulation based on our Code of Conduct “Mission statement, vision and guideline” (please refer to page 2).
The framework has a new Compliance committee, with our president as the appointed chairperson, and a new “Chief Compliance Office” in order to maintain and ensure prompt response for securing business legality.
The Chief Compliance Office also has “In-house Report Unit” in order to set up an internal reporting system regarding contravention to the law and other non-compliance matters.
Moreover, the Chief Compliance Office plans regulations and guidelines to relevant subsidiaries and units, and offers a training program to employees.
For Customers
EU Directive/RoHS Directive
In Europe, new RoHS Directives, effective in July 2006, bans the production,
sale, and import/export of electrical and electronic equipment that contain certain hazardous substances such as lead, mercury,
chromium (VI) compound, cadmium, PBB (polybrominated biphenyls), and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ethers). The Tamura
Group follows the Directive by changing materials and modifying the production process based on our customers' standard
and schedule. As of April 2005, most Tamura products comply with the RoHS Directive requirements.
Product Quality and Safety Management
 The Tamura products adopt the Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Laws such as PSE (Product Safety Appliance and Materials)* , UL, and CSA standards; hence our products can safely be used in products such as digital cameras and mobile phones.
*PSE (Product Safety Appliance and Materials) : Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Laws prohibit the sales of any products with no PSE logo mark on. The logo shall be given to the products only if the adaptability certification is issued by registration/verification agencies. For Employees
Occupational Safety and Health
 Workplace inspection by top management The Tamura Group is engaged in safety and health of our employees.
Based on an annual occupational safety and health management plan, we have clarified each responsibility and promoted voluntary safety and health management activities for a comfortable working environment.
Furthermore, our president conducts a workplace inspection once a year, and that inspection provides us a good opportunity for internal communication and for confirmation of a safe working condition of all employees. Prevention of Sexual harassment
In order to maintain a sexual harassment-free workplace, the Tamura Group has installed an “In-house reporting system” which prevents and responds to the occurrence.
In-house Consultation Hotline
We believe it is important to be aware of employees' physical and mental health; therefore, we have established an in-house consultation hotline to provide better working conditions. All our employees can receive professional mental health consultation and advice through this hotline.
