What Komatsu considers to be material issues are listed in our CSR Priorities, each of which is in line with international standards such as the ISO26000 and the United Nations Global Compact.
To translate these principles into concrete action, Komatsu has incorporated them into its internal guideline, “Komatsu's Worldwide Code of Business Conduct,” as well as into the “CSR Procurement Guidelines,” which set out what Komatsu asks of its business partners.
