About this page

This page announces that the Japan Fair Trade Commission issued a recommendation to Bic Camera Co., Ltd. for violating the Subcontract Payment Law. Between July 2023 and August 2024, Bic Camera illegally reduced subcontract payments totaling approximately 557.47 million yen to 51 subcontractors without legitimate justification. Reduction reasons included promotional expenses, sales support fees, and inventory management costs. The company has already repaid the deducted amounts. The recommendation requires Bic Camera to confirm the violation through board resolution, conduct subcontract law training, and notify stakeholders of corrective measures taken.
