Nippon Sanso Holdings (NSHD) observes relevant laws, regulations, and international rules at all times, working with integrity to treat all stakeholders fairly and impartially.
Compliance Promotion
The NSHD Group has determined a basic internal control policy for our Group and established organizations and regulations to ensure its effectiveness. Specifically, we have a Group Chief Compliance Officer (GCCO), appointed by the Board of Directors, who appoints Regional Chief Compliance Officers (RCCOs) in Japan and regions overseas. Under the direction and supervision of the GCCO, the RCCOs conduct compliance promotion activities based on the characteristics of each region and business.
In addition, the Group has global compliance management regulations, which stipulate matters regarding the establishment of a compliance promotion structure and the roles of each organization and position, matters regarding response to compliance violations, and matters regarding the whistleblowing system. We strive to conduct unified global management of compliance.
Global Compliance Committee
In principle, the Global Compliance Committee convenes once a year and is chaired by the GCCO with RCCOs as members. The committee meets for the purpose of promoting compliance and ensuring its effectiveness throughout the Group. It reviews the Group’s compliance promotion policy, reports on compliance violations, litigation cases, and the status of compliance training in each region, and, as necessary, deliberates on specific issues. Matters subject to deliberation include the Group’s Code of Conduct, revisions to policies and plans, and any issues related to the operation of the whistleblowing system.

Compliance Initiatives
Compliance Education
The NSHD Group provides highly effective compliance education that is relevant to individual officers and employees by tailoring the education to the compliance risks in each region. As one of our eight non-financial programs, we implement the Compliance Penetration Program, which has a compliance training participation rate of 100% (positioned as a basic training in each region and subject to mandatory training status for all employees).

Compliance Survey
The NSHD Group conducts surveys to assess the current level of compliance awareness and understanding among officers and employees, and to support compliance promotion activities. We also provide feedback to each region about the results of the surveys, which are then used to develop and refine compliance measures tailored to the specific characteristics of each region.
Whistleblowing System
The NSHD Group has clarified its rules concerning its whistleblowing system and made these known throughout each Group company. It has also prepared whistleblowing systems in each region and secured a system to enable reporting of any actual or possible compliance violations discovered without receiving any disadvantageous treatment.
