Ethical Management

We establish and practice ethics that our employees need to follow

The DL Ethics Charter contains DL’s value of practicing righteous management. Ethical management means practicing the ethics regulations prescribed by the company and complying with various laws and regulations on business. Based on the foundation philosophy of honesty and reliability, we have implemented righteous management from the initial stage of company foundation. Since the declaration of the ethical management in 2000, DL has been establishing and operating the global-level ethical management system.

We practice ethical management continuously aiming at the “World’s Best.”

DL makes great efforts for sustainability management aiming at the “World’s Best” through vigorous and diverse ethical management activities.
