Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct
KARYU estate (the "Company") deeply recognizes that the real estate and wealth management business possesses a public nature that affects not only the vital assets of our clients but also the built environment of cities and local communities. Grounding our business in the trust of society, we establish the following Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct as the paramount values to be observed by all executives and employees.
1. Uncompromising Integrity & Compliance
The Company strictly complies with all relevant laws, regulations, and their underlying spirit. We thoroughly eliminate opaque customs often prevalent in the real estate industry and ethically questionable business practices, always making fair and honest decisions in accordance with societal norms. Bending laws or ethics to prioritize our own commercial interests is strictly prohibited, as it negates our very reason for existence.
2. Client-First Principle & Fiduciary Duty
Operating with a profound sense of responsibility as a "Fiduciary" entrusted with our clients' assets and futures, the Company consistently pursues the best interests of our clients. We rationally identify and manage potential conflicts of interest arising through our operations and eliminate any transactions that would disadvantage our clients. Furthermore, we maintain high transparency by appropriately disclosing, without concealment, any significant risks or negative information we acquire.
3. Professional Excellence & Continuous Learning
To provide the highest standard of value to our clients, the Company obliges itself to continuously update its expertise. We accurately recognize the limits of our own specialized fields, avoid advising based on uncertain speculation, and collaborate with external professionals as necessary to provide highly accurate and objective services.
4. Strict Protection of Confidential Information
The Company treats clients' privacy, asset status, undisclosed investment information, and other data acquired in the course of business as highly classified information. This information is utilized solely within the scope essential for business execution. We maintain a rigorous information management system to protect against cybersecurity threats and human error.
5. Respect for Human Rights & Diversity
The Company respects the human rights and dignity of all individuals involved in our business activities. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment based on nationality, race, gender, age, or beliefs. Including our partner companies, we strive to build an inclusive environment where individuals with diverse values and backgrounds can safely and fairly demonstrate their capabilities.
6. Responsibility to the Built Environment & Society
The Company will not engage in projects that pursue only short-term profits or yields while neglecting harmony with the surrounding environment or structural risks of buildings. Guided by universal aesthetics and a sustainability (ESG) perspective, we contribute to the formation of a "Built Environment" worthy of being passed down to the next generation. Concurrently, we maintain a resolute stance of refusing any involvement with anti-social forces and other threats to civil society.
