1. Developing a Compliance System

In October 2006, Daibiru established the Compliance Committee and the Safety and Crisis Control Committee in an effort to address compliance issues and implement measures related to safety and crisis management.

Each committee analyzed the current state of the company with respect to their own areas of focus, examined issues raised by those analyses, and developed action plans that included schedules for future implementation.

The role of the Compliance Committee was to formulate basic compliance policies, maintain compliance systems, and discuss compliance training and internal education. The role of the Safety and Crisis Control Committee, meanwhile, was to deliberate, discuss, and coordinate matters related to the formulation of basic policies and the maintenance of systems concerning safety and crisis management as well as the implementation of safety and crisis management measures.

One thing emphasized by both committees is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to matters of compliance, safety, and crisis management. Rather, the success or failure of such measures depends on the awareness of each executive and employee, which is why all executives and employees must perform their respective roles each day and be aware of the problems that the group faces.

Later, in January 2015, Daibiru established the Internal Compliance Consultation Center, the Compliance Hotline, and the External Compliance Consultation Center in order to address a variety of consultation needs. Additionally, the company established a general bulletin board related to compliance (the Daibiru Compliance Plaza) in order to further clarify the company’s commitment to compliance.
