We conduct our business activities based on the TOMY Group Code of Business Conduct (COBC) which determines more concrete guidelines and encourages a deeper understanding across the Group of the elements relating specifically to “observing our company policy, the rule of law and good common sense,” and “competing honestly and following fair trade practices” within our Code of Conduct. Our Corporate Guidelines also aim to deal fairly and honestly with TOMY Group business partners in pursuit of mutual prosperity as we work together to maintain appropriate working environments and improve productivity.

Furthermore, in response to growing demands from the international community for companies to address their impact on human rights and the environment, we have defined “responsible procurement” as one of our eight material issues. In fiscal 2019, we reviewed the TOMY Code of Conduct for Manufacturers and set up the TOMY Group Responsible Procurement Guidelines in May 2020.

The TOMY Group has always worked hard not only to provide safe products of superior quality, but also to fulfill our social responsibilities by respecting human rights throughout the manufacturing of those products and ensuring environment-conscious business operations. To date, we have asked our suppliers to uphold the TOMY Code of Conduct for Manufacturers, which includes environmental and social issues, and incorporated those commitments into our business contracts. Over recent years, however, we have witnessed an increase in various demands from the international community in areas such as human rights and the environment. In light of these changing expectations, we set up the TOMY Group Responsible Procurement Guidelines in May 2020.
Going forward, we intend to ensure full and deep awareness of the TOMY Group Responsible Procurement Guidelines across the Group, and hold presentations and other activities for business partners to ensure they understand the guidelines and cooperate in their implementation.
