Compliance Handbook

Mitsuuroko Group publishes the “Compliance Handbook,” a combination of the “Charter of Corporate Ethics” and the “Code of Conduct Casebook,” which explains the code of conduct stipulated according to the Charter of Corporate Ethics in an easy-to-understand manner.
In order to enhance the understanding of the Charter of Corporate Ethics, we have sought to make it easier to comprehend the necessary actions needed to be taken by officers and employees by giving specific examples from daily life in understandable ways. For this reason, 50 of the 100 cases in the handbook have been converted into easy-to-read manga cartoons.

Compliance reporting system

For the purpose of preventing and early detection of organizational or individual violations of laws and regulations, as well as fraudulent activities, we have established a “Compliance Hotline,” which includes Legal & Secretary, Internal Auditing of the Company, and an outside law firm.
In response to reports and consultations on violations from the Company employees, business partners, etc., we protect the informants, investigate the facts responsibly, and take corrective and recurrence prevention measures, as necessary.
The information on where to report to the Compliance Hotline is posted on the information security card that is carried by all employees at all times and is known and shared by all employees.

Issuance of information security cards

For the purpose of responding quickly and minimizing damage in the event of loss of personal or internal information, we have issued an “information security card” that describes how to respond in the event of loss of documents or business equipment containing personal information, etc., as well as compliance-related matters, and we have all employees of the Group, including subcontractors, carry this with them at all times.

Implementation of education on compliance and harassment

We have produced an educational DVD on compliance based on case studies, and together with the DVD on harassment, we are conducting education on compliance by having all officers and employees of the Group watch it during the compliance small group activities that we have been conducting on a regular basis.
In addition, in order to continuously educate all employees of Mitsuuroko Group about compliance and to strengthen their awareness of compliance, we regularly distribute a “Compliance Newsletter” on the company intranet every week, featuring news of public interest and familiar examples.
