Our Policy

INPEX is systematically developing a compliance structure that is essential for the sustainable development of the Company, and strives to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and adherence to corporate ethics. Specifically, we have established the Compliance Committee, which is chaired by the officer in charge of compliance (a Director) and is composed of Senior Vice Presidents and officers of the standing organizational units. The Committee develops compliance-related policies and plans, discusses important matters, monitors the effectiveness of compliance-related regulations, and supervises the implementation of compliance programs to promote unified compliance initiatives throughout the INPEX Group.

In addition, under the Sustainability Principles, we have established the Code of Conduct. This code defines the practices to be followed to ensure compliance and supports observance of the Business Principles that guide how we conduct our business. We are also working to raise awareness of compliance among our officers and employees. The Business Principles and Code of Conduct were established by respective determination of the Board of Directors and Compliance Committee, and are continuously reviewed in light of changes in the external environment as well as legal and regulatory requirements.
