Reinforcement of Compliance
JAL Group Code of Conduct
The JAL Group Code of Conduct, “Commitment to Society” was established in 2019 as concrete behavior guidelines to be observed by all JAL Group officers and employees.
The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the Charter of Corporate Behavior of Keidanren and other materials were used as reference in establishing the Code of Conduct.
Compliance with the Code of Conduct will lead to the embodiment of the JAL Philosophy and realization of the Corporate Policy.
With the establishment of our “Commitment to Society,” the JAL Group Supplier Code of Conduct was revised in line with the purpose of the Code of Conduct. By gaining the understanding of JAL Group suppliers, we will be able to provide products and services that customers can use more safely and with even greater peace of mind.
