Corporate Governance
The Sojitz Group considers it important to maintain a relationship of trust with stakeholders, in order to maximize corporate value and conduct management appropriately. To strengthen corporate governance, the Group takes steps to clarify management responsibility and accountability and establish a highly transparent management structure and auditing functions.

Risk Management
As a general trading company, the Sojitz Group is engaged in a wide and diverse range of businesses globally. Due to the nature of its businesses, the Group is exposed to a variety of risks including market risk, business investment risk, credit risk and country risk. We believe that it is important to upgrade and enhance risk management for the Group and maintain a high-quality portfolio by accurately identifying and managing those risks.
In compliance with its General Standard of Corporate Risk Management, the Sojitz Group defines and categorizes risk. Specifically, we balance quantifiable risks to assess and manage risk in accordance with the risk asset index obtained.
Non-quantifiable risks such as legal, compliance, environmental and other risks are managed using the PDCA cycle for reporting the status of risk to management, based on the Risk Management Policy and Plan formulated by the executive officer responsible for managing that risk.
Compliance
Companies must work to develop their businesses while conducting themselves in accordance with social norms, and endeavor to make a contribution to society. The Sojitz Group therefore recognizes that thoroughgoing compliance is essential to living up to these requirements. For the Group, compliance involves adhering to Japanese and international law and Company regulations, but it also entails abiding by the standards of corporate ethics-the moderation and good sense required of a corporation. The Group as a whole strives in good faith to maintain compliance based on this understanding.
The Sojitz Group Code of Conduct and Ethics set out the regulations about Corporate Social Responsibility, which are known and observed throughout the Sojitz Group.
