Corporate Governance

The NIPPON STEEL Corporation Group, having adopted its Corporate Philosophy and Code of Conduct, is determined to fulfill its social responsibility by raising corporate value through appropriate practices and contributing to development of society.

As an infrastructure to realize this important objective, we strive to strengthen our corporate governance structure and internal control. In so doing we are working at establishing a system to engage in "CSR that is proper to NIPPON STEEL Corporation."
