Basic approaches to Compliance

The Company defines criteria for specific actions of directors, executive officers, and other employees by stipulating rules in its Mission Statement, Employee Handbook, Compliance Handbook, Export Control Program, Information Security Policy, and management systems for environment, labor safety and health and quality. By putting these rules into practice, the Company aims to achieve legal and regulatory compliance.
The Company has rolled out multiple compliance trainings for new employees and other staff, depending on their managerial level, as well as other learning opportunities. In addition, the Company has established an international whistleblowing service in accordance with the compliance hotline rules. In case of sexual harassment and other problems where special considerations to the privacy of employees are needed, employees can report the matter to a hotline that is operated by a third-party.
We have strengthened our global compliance system, which includes overseas Group Companies, by establishing an additional multilingual hotlines for internal and external reporting in a total of eighteen languages including Japanese, English, and German.
