TOMY Code of Business Conduct (COBC)
We have established the TOMY Group Code of Business Conduct (COBC) which determines more concrete guidelines and encourages a deeper understanding across the Group of the elements relating specifically to “observing our company policy, the rule of law and good common sense,” and “competing honestly and following fair trade practices” with ONE TOMY’s Promise. The COBC conveys a key message about the Group’s fundamental spirit, namely that if we want to maintain a position of deep respect and admiration among our most important customers, children, we must never act in a way that displays adults in an ugly light.
The COBC is intended to explain how employees should act in the event of a compliance violation or any action that is deemed or is suspected to be contrary to the COBC. More specifically, the COBC encourages employees to learn about and uphold laws, regulations and internal standards, understand and respect different customs and values, discuss issues with their superiors or responsible departments, and make use of the TOMY Group hotline to file a report.
We have created study materials in seven languages and offer offline and e-learning training to ensure all Group employees, both inside and outside Japan, gain an accurate understanding of the content of the COBC.

Corporate Ethics
With the goal of fostering an ethical corporate culture that is in step with the times, within the Sustainability Promotion Division under direct control of the President, the TOMY Group has established a corporate ethics department that promotes relevant initiatives throughout the Group, such as developing internal regulations and creating structures to apply them.
We are particularly conscious of the influence we may exert on children and other users through merchandizing and media expressions. Therefore, in addition to complying with laws, regulations and the TOMY Group COBC, in our internal regulations and Social Media Policy we have established ethical standards that take into account social norms and moral perspectives for merchandizing and expressions used in media advertising. In addition, we have also taken steps such as creating guidelines for providing ethical responses suitable to the target age ranges for our products and media, utilizing a thorough checking system, and having ethics specialists available for consultation.
With the aim of ensuring awareness of rules and regulations, we hold ethics training for all employees working for the Group in Japan and include related content in a monthly newsletter to deepen employee understanding of corporate ethics so that they may apply them in their own duties.
