There's not though, quite to the contrary. Did you witness the handling of the Fukushima accident?

The Japanese proverb for it is: "Kusai ni futa wo shire" - if there's a stink, put a lid over it.

Your racist remark aside, huge for-profit entities act unethically because of economic incentives. It's ridiculous to assert that it's something ingrained into a country's culture.

I believe the proverb is 「臭い物に蓋をする」"kusai mono ni futawo suru"
