The Cosmo Oil Group conducts annual corporate ethics training for Group employees. In addition to training according to job level, training sessions are led by general managers and Group company presidents. In fiscal 2010, the Group concentrated on raising employee awareness of information security issues with training designed to reinforce the appropriate use of information systems. The Group also introduced ethics training in technical divisions to increase understanding among engineers of the unique ethical issues that they face. In addition, training sessions focused on increasing understanding among employees by using familiar examples to illustrate specific topics such as preventing the risk of misconduct, the Antimonopoly Act and securities, and preventing harassment and eliminating discrimination.
