2. Preventing Other Corruption
In addition to not offering bribes, FANUC officers and employees will also not engage in any act relating to corruption which abuses their official authority or position for the benefit of an individual or organization, including embezzlement, breach of trust, obstruction of justice or money laundering.
3. Third Parties such as distributor, etc
If there is a risk of any of the acts specified in Articles 1 and 2 being carried out through any third party, such as a distributor, supplier, intermediary or consultant, no FANUC officer or employee will engage such third party.
