Anti bribery policy

As a member of the Furukawa Electric Group Trocellen has always been committed to fully complying with the anti-corruption requirements in its management as well as its operations. Internationally, anti-corruption laws are becoming ever stricter and governments are becoming more and more active in their enforcement.

We state emphatically that it is a matter of principle for Trocellen to abide by all relevant anti-corruption laws and by all related regulations that are locally applicable wherever Trocellen has operations.

We absolutely refuse to take or provide undue advantages in our operations and we strive to maintain the highest-level of business integrity. This means, in part, that we require all agents in contact with our organisations as well as all our business partners to also comply with the above mentioned anti-corruption legislations.

The Furukawa Electric Group Anti-Bribery Statement

1. Background and Statement

The Furukawa Electric Group has always been committed to anti-bribery compliance throughout its management and operations, and we are continuously determined that the group-wide management of bribery risks is of the utmost importance. However, anti­bribery laws are recently being strengthened internationally and government agencies are increasingly active on their enforcements. We emphasize once again that it is Furukawa's policy, as is clear from our CSR Code of Conduct, to comply with all applicable anti-bribery laws, including but not limited to, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, the Japanese Unfair Competition Law and all applicable local laws where the company operates, to prohibit giving and taking of bribery, and to accurately reflect all transactions on company's books and records. Moreover, to fully prevent giving and taking of bribery throughout our operations and maintain the integrity of our business, we also require agents who work on Furukawa's behalf and business partners with whom we do business to comply with these anti-bribery laws.
