On January 9, 2009, Yokogawa proudly became the 76th participant from Japan to join the United Nations Global Compact. Proposed by the former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and officially launched in the year 2000, the Global Compact is a voluntary corporate citizenship initiative consisting of ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption.
Since its inception in 1915, Yokogawa has been dedicated to fulfilling its responsibilities towards society through various projects such as establishing of the Standards of Business Conduct for the Yokogawa Group (1994), the Yokogawa Group Compliance Guidelines as a specific action guideline (2007) and the Corporate Social Responsibility Headquarters (2008). And now, as a participant of the United Nations Global Compact, Yokogawa can continue its "work hard to fulfill commitments" ethic.
