The Silver rating we have earned this time certifies that the Toyama Technology & Manufacturing Center properly manages the five categories specified in the RBA Code of Conduct: Labor, Health and Safety, the Environment, Ethics, and Management System. Following this, we will aim for an even higher rating and further pursue our business activities in line with the RBA Code of Conduct.
