Basic Policy on AI Usage
We aim to create new business value by using AI and to help solve social issues. To achieve this, we base our approach on human-centric values and emphasize the following principles.
Respect for Human Dignity
AI is a tool to support human judgment and creativity. We aim to build a society where humans can act and make decisions autonomously. Final decisions shall always be made by humans.
Respect for Diversity and Ensuring Equity
When using AI, we take care to avoid bias toward specific attributes or values, and we help build an inclusive society for all people.
Contribution to a Sustainable Society
Through the use of AI, we strive to solve social issues and reduce environmental impact, helping to build a sustainable and fair society.
When we use AI technology in our own operations or use external AI services for business purposes, we ensure safety, transparency, and accountability. We also comply with all relevant laws and guidelines. We act as an AI user; we do not develop AI in-house or act as an AI provider.
Furthermore, to keep our use of AI appropriate, we will strive to continuously review and improve our practices as technology and society change.

Our Initiatives for AI Utilization
In our utilization of AI technology, we have established and operate an AI Management System (AIMS) based on the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS Q 42001 to promote the responsible use of AI. Specifically, as an AI “user,” we strive to implement the requirements of this standard and continuously undertake the following initiatives. We also take into account domestic guidelines such as the “AI Guidelines for Business” from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
AIMS Operation and Continuous Improvement
We regularly check our internal operations against JIS Q 42001 and domestic guidelines. We strive for continuous compliance and improvement by reviewing our systems and rules as necessary.
Respect for Human-Centric Values
Guided by “human-centric AI utilization,” we promote efforts such as curbing misinformation, ensuring diversity and inclusion, supporting users, and ensuring sustainability.
Ensuring Safety
When introducing and operating AI, we aim to minimize associated risks by conducting risk analyses and implementing various safety measures.
Ensuring Equity
We ensure that AI outputs and decision-making processes always undergo human verification and judgment, taking care to prevent unfair discrimination or bias.
Ensuring Transparency and Accountability
In services and operations involving AI, we strive to improve transparency and ensure accountability, such as by clearly disclosing AI use where necessary.
Protection of Privacy
Under a framework that meets Privacy Mark requirements, we ensure the appropriate acquisition, use, and management of personal information.
Ensuring Security
Through an operational structure based on ISMS (Information Security Management System), we strengthen the protection and management of our information assets.
