Toyota Tsusho Corporation (hereinafter: Toyota Tsusho) announces that it has reached the 10-year milestone since the establishment of its Global Code of Conduct & Ethics (abbreviated as COCE), a common set of values for the Group. Toyota Tsusho has identified "Making safety and compliance the entry point for business and continuing to be an organization trusted by society" as one of its Materiality*1, and has established a basic compliance policy that ensures business execution aligns with the COCE. The COCE, which concretely embodies the behavioral guidelines*2 supporting the corporate philosophy in an easy-to-understand manner, was formulated by pooling the wisdom of Group employees both domestically and internationally. It was established on July 1, 2016, following a resolution by the Board of Directors in April 2016, and was announced to Group companies worldwide, with awareness activities commencing. To promote and embed the COCE throughout the Group, Toyota Tsusho has built a global network.

Now, 10 years after the establishment of the COCE, the company is transitioning from the awareness and implementation phase to the embedding and practice phase. By understanding and practicing the COCE as a "compass for the future" that serves as the basis for daily operations and decision-making for every officer and employee worldwide, we will continue to work as a united Group to realize our corporate philosophy of "aiming to be a value-creating company that contributes to building a prosperous society by coexisting and prospering with people, society, and the global environment" and our
