Compliance
Compliance structure
In addition to enhancing internal systems, we respond to legal issues based on consultations with outside advising attorneys as necessary in individual cases. The Legal Department in the Corporate Division strives to enhance structures for management and education regarding matters such as laws, regulations, social norms, and contracts with counterparties.
C-Line (internal whistleblowing system)
We established the C-Line (Compliance Line) as a contact point for whistleblowing and consultations regarding violations of laws and regulations and similar incidents inside the Company. This system is intended to ensure fair and sound corporate management by raising awareness of compliance among all employees; preventing inappropriate actions, such as violations of laws and regulations; and swiftly detecting and rectifying any improprieties or problems.
Protection of personal information
We have established a Privacy Policy and Guidelines on the Protection of Personal Information, which concern matters including why and how we use personal information and how personal information is managed and safeguarded
Compliance training and awareness raising
We draw on the corporate intranet and other means to communicate information for internal compliance training and to inform employees of legal information. We also strive to provide training on and to raise awareness of compliance through training and educational opportunities, including internal legal courses.
