Compliance Committee
Our company holds Compliance Committee meetings at least twice per year that are chaired by the officer responsible for administration. This committee discusses important compliance matters and determines compliance policy.The content of the committee’s deliberations is reported to the Board of Directors on a regular basis. Additionally, the effectiveness of compliance governance can be enhanced by setting up a whistleblowing system (compliance line).
Risk management
Our company has established Risk Management Rules with the aim of ensuring stable management by rapidly and properly addressing and controlling business risks.In the event of a natural disaster or other emergency, an emergency response headquarters will be set up in accordance with the Risk Management Rules in order to enable rapid information-gathering and the execution of a proper response.We have also established a Sustainability Committee to consider important matters related to risk management in general.
