Approach to Compliance
The Mitsuboshi Belting Group regards compliance as an important element of its efforts to deepen ESG management and achieve sustainable growth. The Group promotes compliance based on the recognition that maintaining a sound state of compliance throughout its business activities is fundamental to earning the trust of all stakeholders and enhancing corporate value.
Management System and Implementation Status
The Company has established the Mitsuboshi Belting Group Code of Conduct, which requires officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to act in compliance with laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, and the Company’s corporate philosophy. The Company works to ensure that the Code is widely understood and embedded throughout the organization.
For its compliance promotion activities, the Company identifies priority implementation items for each fiscal year and conducts related compliance education and awareness-raising activities. The Compliance Committee, chaired by the executive officer appointed by the President, reviews and discusses progress and reports the results to the President and the Board of Directors. The Company also maintains and operates a system requiring its subsidiaries to promptly report to the Company any actual or potential event arising from a violation of laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, or similar matters that could cause significant damage to the Company or its subsidiaries.
In FY2025, no incidents of anti-competitive conduct or corruption occurred within the Group.
Internal Reporting System
- To strengthen compliance management, the Company has established the Mitsuboshi Helpline, an internal reporting system with an external law firm serving as the contact point, to facilitate the early detection and correction of misconduct.
- The Mitsuboshi Helpline is available to officers and employees of the Company and its domestic affiliated companies, including contract employees, part-time employees, temporary employees, and persons who retired within the previous year. Reports may concern misconduct by officers or employees that violates, or may violate, laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, internal rules, contracts, or accepted social norms. The General Manager of the Legal Department, who is responsible for the system, and all personnel involved in handling reports are required to maintain the confidentiality of reported facts and information obtained through investigations. They are also prohibited from attempting to identify reporting persons or treating them disadvantageously.
- The system receives several reports each year. Each report is handled promptly, and necessary measures are taken.
- In accordance with the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Corporate Governance Code and related requirements, the operational status of the system is reported periodically to the Board of Directors and the Audit & Supervisory Board. To protect confidentiality, the information reported is limited to a level that does not identify reporting persons.
