Daiseki established a Compliance Committee in May 2002 and formulated an Ethics Charter announced within and outside the company. Compliance Committee chaired by the President Executive officer works on grasping the status of company-wide compliance systems established and its problems, analyzing compliance risks at each department and embodying countermeasures. For the cases where the Daiseki Group management or compliance officers at each department find problems related to compliance, we have established a system to report to Compliance Committee immediately and thoroughly operate that system. [...] The Daiseki Group established a compliance consultation counter where employees can directly consult with Daiseki Human Resources Department or corporate lawyers that is easy for employees to use, and thoroughly operate it informing the importance of it. When employees consult, the consultation counter will investigate the matter, determine the countermeasure to prevent it from happening again with the related departments and implement it thoroughly, company-wide. The whistleblowing system stipulates the protection of whistleblowers so that employees who make report suffer no adversity. All information from whistleblowers are handled in the strictest confidence only by those who respond in the whistleblower system so no information is leaked to the outside.
