Japanese society values trust and honor, thus any legal issues involving established corporations can be significant. Consumers care about not just the quality of products and services, but also business ethics and corporate performance. News like this can seriously harm the reputation of the company and could lead to a loss in customers.

Similar to the US or EU, Japan emphasizes strict legal compliance from corporate entities. In the US or the EU, high-level corporate legal scandals are often highlighted by media outlets, leading to serious consequences for the involved companies, including potential investigations, lawsuits, loss of consumer trust, and even executive resignitory.
