CSR Management
Compliance
By fulfilling the most fundamental duties of any business, namely, compliance with relevant regulations and sound business management, Alpine hopes to earn the confidence of customers and society at large.
Establishing Ethics Guidelines (Alpine's Ten Commandments)
In order to ensure corporate ethics and legal compliance, Alpine has laid down in our Ethics Guidelines (Alpine's Ten Commandments), the basic code that each and every employee at Group companies across the globe is required to observe.

Strengthening the Compliance Structure
Charged with the mission of ensuring compliance and promptly addressing business risks, Alpine's RC (Risk Management and Compliance) Committee shares risk information with compliance officers at our affiliates in the United States, Europe, and China, then gathers information on issues unique to each region.
In fiscal 2008, a new in-house training program was introduced, which combines conventional seminars with e-learning.
Compliance Audits
In order to ensure that the Compliance Policy is observed, periodical compliance audits are conducted at our business bases both at home and abroad. In fiscal 2008, we performed audits at our subsidiaries in Japan and China.
Audit results are reported to the Risk & Compliance Committee and to management for quick resolution and improvement of any problems that may be found.
Ethics Hotline
In Japan, the United States, and China, Alpine has established “Ethics Hotline” for anyone at Group companies and suppliers to consult regarding ethical and moral issues. This system acts as an open contact for consultation to help detect potential problems early on and enable prompt action.
