At meeting of the Board of Directors on March 25, 2022 resolved plans for the “development of systems necessary to ensure that the execution of duties by directors complies with laws and regulations and the articles of incorporation, as necessary to ensure the properness of operations of a stock company” in accordance with Article 362, Paragraph 4, Item 6 of the Companies Act.

Basic policy and development to eradicate antisocial forces

In response to growing public demand to eliminate antisocial forces, we have long since made every effort to sever ties with antisocial forces, from individual employees all the way through to the President.

In light of the Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance for Eliminating Organized Crime Groups, enforced on October 1, 2011, we have made sure that contracts relating to the sale or purchase of property contain provisions regarding the elimination of antisocial forces, in an effort to prevent any such ties from being formed. We have also set out internal regulations stating that checks must be carried out on new partners (using newspaper databases, etc.) before entering into new transactions, including selling and purchasing property, ordering construction work and purchasing supplies. All checks are handled by the General Affairs Department and are carried out in line with procedures set out in a manual.

There is a possibility that antisocial forces may acquire shares in the Company through transactions on the open market. We make every effort to monitor whether or not antisocial forces have become shareholders however by regularly obtaining information from the shareholder registry administrator. As part of our recruitment activities, we also run checks on prospective officers and employees (using newspaper databases, etc.) before finalizing their appointment.

In addition to the above internal checking system, we also signed up to the Special Violence Prevention Measures Association (Metropolitan Police Department) in April 2008. We are working to strengthen relationships with local police stations, and make every effort to obtain information that will help to prevent ties with antisocial forces, including making inquiries regarding the status of partners as antisocial forces if necessary.
