The compliance program was enacted under our compliance system, which is headed up by the Compliance Committee. It is being rolled out and implemented at Group companies, and we are evaluating and reviewing the results. The issues we uncover now will be used to improve initiatives in the next fiscal year.

Major Initiatives
・We designated October as Compliance Enhancement Month, and conducted various activities to promote heightened    compliance awareness among all employees, including President’s message, call for compliance mottos, repeated
   in-house training, Compliance Top Management Training Course, etc.
・Conduct training that reflects the issues identified in the results of the last fiscal year’s compliance comprehension
   survey.

The Compliance Committee conducts activities such as deliberating on the fiscal year compliance program,which is drafted by the Compliance Promotion Office. In addition to drafting the program, the secretariat provides support for to regional headquarter compliance managers and regional headquarter compliance officers. Regional headquarters and large-scale domestic subsidiaries regulate their own companies as well as their affiliates and subsidiaries, while the KYB regulates itself and subsidiaries other than those mentioned above.
Furthermore, we have established and implemented various policies to promote compliance activities.
