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
NSHD Group has determined a basic compliance 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 seven 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 whistleblower system. We strive to conduct unified global management of compliance.
