Compliance

■Compliance framework
The Enplas Group has a Compliance Committee that reports directly to the company president. The Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) serves as committee chair, and appoints a Local Compliance Officer (LCO) at each business site. LCOs collect views from employees and, in the Compliance Committee, discuss responsive measures and decide on training topics.
■Compliance training
Compliance training is held once annually and is led by LCOs at their respective business sites. Training is participatory and geared toward having employees personalize compliance in their own work. This includes presenting cases of noncompliance that have actually happened in the Group and comparing their causal factors and issues with the Corporate Philosophy, as well as examining compliance problems gathering public attention and considering the impacts they could have if they were to happen in the Enplas Group. In FY2022, our compliance training focused on topics including the importance of honoring contracts in order to establish and enhance trust.
■Compliance inspections
We conduct a compliance inspection of all business sites once a year. The inspection includes study sessions in Japan and a list of 10 inspection items in other countries.
■Whistleblowing system
A third-party organization serves as a contact point for internal reports of harassment-related issues, while the legal department serves as the contact point for all other internal whistleblowing. These mechanisms are designed to prevent retaliation against reporters, and to keep persons involved in the case from taking part in the investigation process. No report was made in FY2022.


Human rights policy
Guiding Principles on Human Rights (e.g., prohibition of forced labor, child labor, and harassment) are set forth in our Enplas Group Code of Conduct. Enplas (Europe) Ltd. discloses information on efforts made based on its UK Modern Slavery Act Statement.
