- Sony Group Code of Conduct, applies to all Sony directors, officers, employees and relevant third-party staff. It is unclear whether 'relevant third-parties' extend to the supply chain, but there is previous commentary on requirements of supply chain workers to adhere to social responsibility principles.

- There are also additional assessments for suppliers in relation to foreign, migrant and immigrant workers.
