Compliance

In order to enhance our corporate value, we recognize the importance of each and every officer and employee to comply with laws, regulations, and social norms in the conduct of our business activities.

We have established the ESG Promotion Committee as an organization to promote compliance, formulated fundamental policies on compliance, and are implementing initiatives based on these policies.

The Committee formulates fundamental policies and annual activity plans, etc. related to compliance, manages their operation and progress, and promotes compliance management. Also, based on the fundamental policies related to compliance, etc., the General Affairs Department implements compliance activities such as compliance education, monitors the status of compliance, makes improvements, and provides guidance when necessary.

The Committee takes appropriate measures when there is an occurrence or potential occurrence of noncompliance based on audit reports from the Internal Audit Office and reports and consultations through an internal whistle-blowing system.

For improvement through the prevention and early detection of violations of laws and regulations, violations of internal rules, sexual harassment, power harassment, and other unethical behavior, the “Corporate Ethics Hotline” has been established as a reporting and consultation contact for both internal and external parties. In addition, we have established the “Regulations on Internal Whistle-blowing,” which strictly stipulate the protection of whistle-blowers and carefully handle the content of their reports. 

In addition, a female lawyer has been appointed as a contact point outside the Company, so that women can easily have consultations.

We recognize that cutting off all ties with anti-social forces is the very essence of compliance as a company, and we have included the cutting ties with anti-social forces in our “Fundamental Policies for Internal Control” and “Standards for Ethical Behavior” to ensure that all officers and employees are fully aware of the importance of these policies.

In an effort to raise awareness of compliance and to ensure the thorough implementation of the Standards for Ethical Behavior, the Company systematically conducts compliance education through legal training for officers and position-based training for employees.
