The Company's compliance system and its organization
Our Company aims to effectively implement corporate management practices that place importance on compliance, based on the spirit of the "Taoka Chemical Charter for Business Conduct." To this end, we established the compliance system and related organization as described below.
(1)
Taoka Chemical Business Conduct Manual
All members of the Board of Directors and all employees, loaned employees, temporary employees, and other personnel who are engaged in business operations for or on behalf of the Company under its management and supervision must abide by laws, regulations and business ethics and promote compliance-based management. The Manual defines various rules to be observed by directors and employees.
(2)
Compliance Committee
The Compliance Committee supervises and supports the effective implementation of compliance-based corporate management. The Compliance Committee has the authority to undertake investigations and supervision that are necessary to ensure such compliance-based management.
(3)
Speak Up System
If an act of noncompliance occurs or there is the possibility of noncompliance, and the problem for some reason cannot be, or is not likely to be, resolved immediately through the normal process of reporting to a superior, an employee may report through the "Speak Up System". We expect that the Speak Up System will not only be effective in preventing illegal or unfair activity, but also capable of performing a self-regulating function because if an illegal or unfair acts can be immediately identified and rectified through the System.
