Export Control
At HISAKA, we have set our business creeds "Taking root among the world" and "Pursuit of rich humanity" as our eternal goals and consider our company motto "Sincerity (Magokoro)" to be our conviction as we aim to be a company that customers from around the world continue to select. To that end, we have established our internal compliance program for Export Control, which strictly observe international export control regimes as well as Japanese laws and regulations including the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act, and submitted notification thereof to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Also, based thereon, we have established our Group Export Control Policy as follows, with all of our group employees working together to carry out safe and reliable export control.
At the HISAKA Group: -We will not be involved in transactions providing our Group's products, technology, or the like to any party conducting activities of concern, such as nations or terrorists who could threaten international peace and security. -Based on our company motto "Sincerity (Magokoro)", we will strive to provide appropriate support so that all the relevant parties involved in our Group business can strictly observe security export control. -In light of the policy above, we will strictly observe the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act as well as the relevant laws and regulations of the countries where our business sites are located.
Export control is necessary to prevent international threats, such as the transfer of sensitive dual-use goods and technologies of developed nations, including Japan, to countries or terrorists that may be engaged in the development, etc., of weapons of mass destruction(*1), and the over-accumulation of conventional weapons.
(*1) Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) mean nuclear, chemical, biological weapons, and their delivery systems such as missiles and drones
-Purpose: To maintain the peace and security of the international community, including Japan, and to avoid the risk of companies getting involved in transactions of concern.
-Method: Carry out export control to prevent weapons and goods, and technologies that can be potentially diverted to weapons or military use to any such person who might conduct activities of concern as a nation or terrorists who could threaten the peace and security of the international community including Japan, major nations in the world.
