Main CSR Initiatives from April 2014 to August 2015
Initiatives to Facilitate an Understanding and Awareness of “the True Essence of the Fields Group’s CSR Activities”
The Company is carrying out instructional and educational activities related to the true essence of the Fields Group’s CSR activities, which is the idea that activities based on the Company’s corporate philosophy fulfill CSR in and of themselves.
These educational activities are carried out within the Company and at each Group company. Through the proactive exchange of information utilizing such in-house communication tools as the inhouse portal and WE, the in-house digital signage system, we are focusing our efforts on facilitating an understanding and awareness of the true nature of the Group’s CSR activities. In addition, we are promoting initiatives to reflect this true essence into our business activities and corporate actions.
Initiatives for Thorough Adherence to Corporate Ethics and Laws
With the purpose of simultaneously fostering awareness for corporate ethics and compliance, Fields is implementing compliance education on a wide variety of themes through group training and e-learning systems.
In addition, we have expanded the application range of our e-learning systems in the Fields Group, which were previously only applied to the Company. In this way, we are making efforts to forge an awareness of corporate ethics and compliance throughout the Group.
Initiatives in Risk Management Promotion
In order to earn the trust of society and our customers, all directors and employees of the Group possess a high level of awareness toward information security. As such, we are engaging in initiatives to further improve systems that manage information security.
In August 2015, we transitioned over to a new standard* for information security management systems (ISMS), and maintained certifications for these systems.
* The ISO/IEC 27001:2013, an international standard, and the JISQ 27001:2014, a standard in Japan

TOPIC: ULTRAMAN FOUNDATION
Immediately after the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the Fields Group cooperated primarily with Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd., and approving companies within the Group to establish the ULTRAMAN FOUNDATION. With a particular focus on children as the hope for the future, the foundation has worked to give emotional and material support to those most affected by the earthquake. Four years have passed since the disaster, and the scope of the foundation’s activities has expanded across Japan, including disaster-stricken areas, to provide support to children in need, continuously engaging in activities to address both their physical and psychological needs. Going forward, we will continue these activities as we believe spending enjoyable, stress-free time with heroes naturally leads many children to think about their ambitions and hopes for the future.
Establishment: March 2011
Administrative office: Within Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd.
