Corporate Policies and Principles
SECOM is continuously engaged in various activities to fulfill its responsibilities as a member of the international community. Even in a rapidly changing business environment, we are committed to providing services and systems that contribute to solving social issues and achieving our social mission of helping realize a society free from concerns, while also striving for sustainable business operations.
Policies
At SECOM, we have been working towards the realization of a sustainable society through our business since our founding, based on the fundamental policy of ‘contributing to society through our business activities’ and the underlying concept that ‘it is important for companies and society to develop together sustainably’. To clarify our policy on sustainability management, which takes into account social issues such as the global environment and human rights, we formulated the SECOM Group Basic Sustainability Policy in December 2021 after discussions at a board of directors meeting. Under this policy, we are promoting initiatives to achieve a sustainable society.
SECOM has been promoting initiatives to respect human rights based on the Constitutions of the SECOM Group in Business and Management, which sets out the company’s business policy, and the SECOM Group Code of Employee Conduct, which defines the ideal practices for all group employees and the standards of behavior they should uphold. In October 2022, we established the SECOM Group Human Rights Policy to sincerely address global human rights issues, identifying ‘fair corporate activities and respect for human rights’ as one of our material sustainability issues.
SECOM has positioned ‘decarbonization and a recycling-based society‘ as one of our material sustainability issues. In October 2022, we substantially revised our Basic Environmental Policy to the SECOM Group Environmental Policy, clarifying our fundamental stance of contributing to the resolution of global environmental issues through our business.
Principles
SECOM has been conducting research and development into the use of AI (artificial intelligence) from an early stage and has been applying it to its security services. As AI-based services and systems have spread throughout society, we have established the SECOM AI Ethics Principles to serve as a guideline for our use of AI, ensuring that our customers can use SECOM services with peace of mind.
