Corporate Code of Conduct of Japanese Transnational Corporations: Analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility in Supply Chain Management

Corporate Code of Conduct of Japanese Transnational Corporations: Analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility in Supply Chain Management

OGAWA, Naoko

This paper verifies that there is an absence of monitoring system and sanctions in corporate codes of conduct of Japanese transnational companies in supply chain by analyzing corporate social responsibility reports or sustainable reports of 40 firms which participate in the Global Compact Japan Network. I argue that setting a proper monitoring system is urgently needed, but setting sanctions does not fit to Japanese firms’ behaviors.
