The EBARA Group's Corporate Social Responsibility Policy aims to maintain a strong sense of ethics and promote the trust of stakeholders*, while contributing to society through business, acting as a practical guide to achieve our goals, regardless of the country, region or culture in which the EBARA Group companies are located.

The CSR Policy consists of two pillars:

1º PILAR: "Ethics: We conduct our business with a strong sense of ethics.".

1. Pride: we take pride in our role supporting society, industry and life.

2. Products and Services: We satisfy customers with inventive products and services.

3. Competition: We practice our business based on free and fair competition.

4. Environment: We play our part in improving the global environment.

2º PILAR: "Trust: We foster trust with our valued stakeholders*.".

5. Passion and Dedication: We pursue all activities with passion and dedication.

6. Human Rights and Diversity: we respect human rights and diversity above all else.

7. Disclosure: We develop mutual understanding with stakeholders through transparent and fair disclosure.

8. Work Environment: We sustain a safe workplace and strive for a stimulating work environment.

9. Communication: We utilize high-quality communication to be an industrial firm all stakeholders* take pride in.

* These five principles represent the various responsibilities that we must fulfill with our valued stakeholders, which include our customers, suppliers, shareholders and investors, local communities and employees.

EBARA believes that our success is linked to the success of our suppliers, which is why we establish lasting partnerships based on justice and equality.

Our goal is to create value as a corporation, achieve sustainable growth and contribute to society. For this reason, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is always at the center of everything we do.
To do so, we need both our employees and our suppliers to incorporate the CSR Guidelines in the execution of all their activities.
Therefore, through the CSR Procurement Guidelines, we expect our suppliers to comply with laws, regulations and social standards that respect fundamental human rights, prohibiting all forms of unfair labor, such as child labor and forced labor, and any form of discrimination, in addition to promoting a healthy and safe work environment.
There must also be policies on conflict minerals, as this area presents serious risks of human rights violations.
We expect our suppliers to engage in activities that reduce their impact on the global environment, while continuing to provide high-quality products and services that are competitively priced, delivered reliably and based on a stable supply system.
With regard to information, we ask that you cooperate in providing and disclosing it when we request it and when it is personal and confidential, that you have a system to manage it and protect it against illegal or inappropriate acquisition, use, disclosure or leakage of such information. They must also respect intellectual property rights.
No less important is the strictly rigid stance they need to take in prohibiting any form of corruption and bribery, and not associations with anti-social groups.
