Guidelines for Deliverables
The entertainment content that TOSE produces has become an integral part of people's lives. Moreover, in recent years smartphones are rapidly spreading among a wide range of age groups and content usage has become progressively globalized. As a result, the influence of content on society as a whole has been increasingly growing.
As a company deeply involved in the creation of such content in the upstream stage, to fulfill such social responsibilities TOSE has independently formulated the "Guidelines for Deliverables" pertaining to its business activities, such as home video game software and mobile content for such devices as mobile phones.
