Compliance Promotion System

We have established a system in which an Ethics and Compliance Subcommittee within the Internal Control Committee promotes Group-wide activities pertaining to ethics and compliance, and reports on important matters to the Board of Directors. Under this system, we have established the Guidelines of Conduct in line with OHARA’s philosophy based on its corporate principles, and in accordance with those guidelines we strive to foster a strong commitment to compliance to ensure that all employees not only comply with all laws and regulations, but also execute business activities with a high sense of ethics and in a fair and proper manner.

Efforts to Reinforce Ethics and Compliance

Based on fundamental philosophy on corporate ethics and the Guidelines of Conduct, OHARA has stipulated the Codes of Conduct: Guidelines, which specify major points of laws and regulations, response policies, and matters of caution to be complied with in conducting business activities. In addition, we use the RBA Code of Conduct as a reference together with stakeholders in our supply chain. To ensure that business activities are conducted in line with these codes, we regularly hold compliance seminars and providing educational activities for all employees using the intranet.

Internal Reporting System (Helpline)

We have established an internal reporting system (Helpline) to support early detection and proper handling of actual or suspected violations of laws, regulations, the Codes of Conduct: Guidelines, the RBA Code of Conduct, rules of employment, and other guidelines, and to provide a mechanism of remedy and relief regarding abuse of power, sexual harassment, and other human rights violations. This system is rigorously operated in accordance with the Regulations on Ethics and Compliance Management and the Internal Reporting (Helpline) Operation Guidelines in order to preserve the privacy of informers and protect them from disadvantageous treatment.
