Metglas Amorphous Metals Save Energy Amorphous metals differ from conventional metal materials. This results from manufacturing, which involves extremely rapid cooling (over one million degrees Celsius per second) of molten alloy. This process imparts properties not ordinarily found in conventional crystalline materials. Our industry leading Metglas brand exhibits high magnetic permeability and exceptional, low-loss soft magnetic properties while maintaining a high level of saturated magnetic flux density. This is possible because it has neither crystalline grain boundaries nor the anisotropic properties of crystalline structures. With mass-production capabilities for this innovative material, the Hitachi Metals Group contributes to greater energy-saving and higher-efficiency in products such as transformers in the power supply industry.

Hitachi Metals and CSR

Code of Conduct for Hitachi Metals Group Companies

To Become a Trusted and Respected Member of Society

We remain committed to providing value through our corporate activities. At the same time, we hope to maintain the trust and respect of all our stakeholders as we continue our evolution as a corporation.

Adhering to the principle of Obey the law and walk the path of virtue, we will develop our corporate activities in an ethical manner, with full grasp of our social responsibility and the potential effects of our corporate activities. As we conduct business on a global scale, we will comply with all relevant international conventions and the laws of each country, while striving to understand each countrys local religions, cultures and customs in order to contribute to regional economic development.

2. Pursuing Mutual Growth with our Business Partners

With the aim of generating the highest possible customer satisfaction, we will engage in the development of unique basic technologies and new technologies that empower us to continue providing high quality, reliable products. In achieving this aim, we will conduct fair and appropriate business transactions with our suppliers. Based on an awareness of social responsibility shared jointly with our business partners, we will carry out corporate activities to realize mutual growth.

3. Promoting Truthful Communication with Society

We will disclose appropriate corporate information in a timely, fair and transparent manner to our shareholders and other stakeholders. At the same time, we will endeavor to establish a relationship of mutual trust with society through well-coordinated two-way communication.

4. Thinking about Our Next Generation An Environmentally Friendly Solution

As a good corporate citizen, we will continue efforts to contribute to society through sincere, nondiscriminatory corporate activities based on mutual trust with all members of society.

A Foundation of Social Contribution The Hitachi Metals Group has formulated the Code of Conduct for Hitachi Metals Group Companies to direct each and every employee in fulfilling their social responsibility. Supported by five articles covering such important subjects as compliance, environmental consciousness and humanity, the Code of Conduct is shared by all Group employees, and serves as a yardstick encouraging self-discipline. Today, changes in social values have significantly affected the way corporations exist, burdening them with ever-greater responsibilities. Under these circumstances, we recognize the need to not only follow the Code of Conduct, but also to constantly assess its validity against societal norms. To this end, we are implementing four initiatives that fortify internal control and whistle-blowing systems, personal information protection and information security policies. This will enable us to better secure selfdiscipline and control. When every member of the Hitachi Metals Group fully understands the core concepts of the Code of Conduct, wholeheartedly translating these into action, we will best be able to accomplish our social responsibility as a corporate group. Continuing to enhance our CSR-oriented activities, the Hitachi Metals Group will work to elevate its position toward becoming a leading CSR-driven company that is an integral part of society.

Contributing to Global Environmental Protection Our social responsibility includes contribution to global environmental protection. As a materials manufacturer belonging to an upstream industry, the Hitachi Metals Group clearly recognizes the gravity of its responsibility for environmental protection, which has propelled it to tackle environmental management in a proactive manner. In connection with zero emissions and effective utilization of natural resources, we assume a significant role in assisting other industries achieve numerous goals. These goals include creating more lightweight, fuel-efficient automobiles that comply with increasingly stringent exhaust gas regulations, improving energy-saving properties and eliminating hazardous substances from electric and electronics devices, and promoting industrial waste recycling. In order to complete this role, we have incorporated road maps for research and development as well as expansion into new businesses into our business strategies. While developing Groupwide environmental management organizations and systems, we are promoting environmental protection activities by formulating related in-house regulations and setting our own targets for reducing environmental burden in our corporate activities. With the aim of confirming the validity and effectiveness of its environmental protection activities and securing compliance with related laws, regulations and pacts, the Hitachi Metals Group conducts internal environmental auditing and undergoes environmental auditing by third parties. Through these efforts, we are endeavoring to perpetually enhance our environmental management.
