Ingraining the Code of Conduct

Within the Employee Handbook, the Code of Conduct is stipulated as Yokohama’s Philosophy. Furthermore, when new hires join the company, or when the Handbook undergoes revision, we take steps to ensure that employees confirm the content. We have revised it in FY2020.

Human rights policy

We strictly prohibit "harassment" in our company rules. The main content of these regulations is the prohibition of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, nationality, marital status, etc.
In addition, we have been implementing in-house employee education based on education provided by external organizations and Yokohama Rubber's own education and training materials.

Human Resources personnel participate in annual seminars on labor-related laws. In accordance with federal and state law, once each year (or when there is a revision of the applicable laws), we fulfill our statutory duty by notifying employees and displaying the following information in the workplace.

1. Emergency Plans (responses in cases of disaster)
2. Safety Rules and Injury Reports (internal safety rules)
3. Employees’ Rights (laws related to the rights of employees)
4. Discrimination Laws (revision of laws related to racial discrimination, etc.)

Safe and healthy work environment

Proper management of dangerous substances, machinery and equipment, etc., is regularly conducted. Furthermore, a program of checks and onsite inspections is conducted by the Kent City Fire Department (this involves the disposition of warehouses, sprinklers, fire extinguishers, the disposition of dangerous substances and various electrical sources, etc.).
Training content includes ensuring that employees are familiar with safe evacuation routes; before implementing non-regular operations such as inventory-taking, etc., we check that employees are aware of the importance of “KY” hazard prediction.

Environmental guidelines

1. We strive to identify the impacts of our business on the environment, and make efforts to improve environmental conservation.
2. We comply with environment related laws and statutes.
3. We make efforts to plan and sell aircraft products while aiming at reduction of the environmental impact.
4. We make efforts directed at energy savings, resource savings, recycling and reduction of waste.

Recent measures

We have made changes to the packaging materials that we use, switching over from tailor-made boxes for packaging purposes to ordinary, commercially available packaging materials that are easier to recycle.

Corruption prevention

Entertaining public officials and engaging in the exchange of gifts with them is prohibited. We have recorded no such violations to date.

Communication with business partners

The assessment documents that we forward to business partners include items that allow requests or opinions to be noted.
