Compliance

Internal Control System

The Company established the Internal Control Dept. in October 2005 for the purpose of ensuring thorough compliance and strengthening internal control. The Company established the Internal Control Committee consisting of all Directors in May 2006 and is formulating internal control as well as supervising compliance of the execution of operations with laws and regulations and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

Hotline (Whistleblower) System

Press Kogyo has set up desks both outside the Company (consulting company) and inside (Internal Audit Dept.) as Hotline (Whistleblower) System. Reports can be made online (external only) or by email, telephone, or in writing. Whistleblowers are protected by laws and company regulations to make sure they are not subject to prejudicial treatment after seeking a consultation or making a report. We are working hard to make sure all Group employees are aware of the system by regularly discussing it in the company newsletter, and by distributing cards with information that can easily be carried around and by updating posters.

Code of Ethics

Press Kogyo has established a Code of Ethics outlining the laws, social norms, etiquette, and attitude to work that all Group executives and employees should adhere to. This code is distributed in a booklet. In situations where executives or employees are unsure what to do or find it difficult to make a decision, they are to ask themselves if the action is really in line with the law and basic protocols or if it would preserve confidence in the Company if the matter was known both internally and to the public.

In FY2018, we conducted a training program aimed at preventing harassment in the workplace for all managers (assistant managers, group leaders, and foremen) at all business locations. From FY2019, we are continuing this initiative by adding this type of training to the educational curriculum for newly appointed managers.
