Our basic policy towards corporate governance is to promote business that is worthy of the trust of shareholders and clients by maintaining the integrity of management and strengthening the competitive position of the Company through swift and flexible adaption to changes in the business environment. Furthermore, the Group places great importance on compliance management and in light of this it has constructed systems for compliance with laws and regulations and risk management. These systems include the establishment of a Compliance Committee, an Investment and Loan Committee, and an Environment Committee, as well as the development of a system for security export control.

In addition, in order to ensure the integrity in business activities, in accordance with the administrative authority regulations, the Staff Department at the Head Office utilizing their specialist knowledge conducts preliminary reviews of decisions made. The Department also monitors the performance of business conducted by the Group while cooperating with the Business Planning Office placed at each sales section and if necessary makes suggestions for improvement and provides specific advice and instruction.

Moreover, the Auditing Department and Accounting Auditors make efforts to strengthen their partnership through regular exchange of opinions and endeavor to monitor legality and fairness in the business performed by each department.We aim to not only ensure compliance through these systems and activities, but to also enhance and maintain the integrity and transparency of our business and prevent management risk.
