Admin’s Note

The recent dismissal of a director from Panasonic’s subsidiary is a significant case that raises questions about corporate compliance awareness. When corporate leaders engage in inappropriate behavior, the repercussions can be substantial. Like Chako’s reaction, we also need to reflect on the ethical standards we expect from companies. I believe it’s crucial for corporations to fulfill their responsibilities in order to create a better environment for society as a whole. I hope to see increased transparency in businesses moving forward.
