Declaration of Compliance

Toward a true worldwide company

In recent years, public awareness of company activities has greatly increased, impacted by the progress of a diversifying and aging society, along with the globalization and digitalization of economic activities.  Corporate dishonesty and scandals are no longer permitted, and investors have become more sensitive to a company’s scandals than to their accomplishments.  As indicated by recent news, corporate scandal exerts an enormous influence and may cause abrupt fall in the value or even closure of a company.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the most important task of any company, to enhance the value of the company, and also to win the confidence of society, clients and investors. At Ina Research Inc., we focus on this thorough “Compliance” and “Corporate Governance” as our mainmanagement principles.

This “INA Compliance Handbook” includes important matters of compliance. We, the employees of Ina Research Inc., declare to always give top priority to thorough Compliance in all business activities in accordance with this Handbook.
