Compliance
There is no end to the number of corporate scandals threatening the survival of the companies involved, and corporate ethics are subject to strict scrutiny. Nowadays, companies and individuals are strongly expected to act in fairness and good faith based on common sense. At the basis of such activities is the concept of compliance (with corporate ethics, laws and regulations, and social rules). At Komatsu Matere, we work according to the corporate philosophy of “Create excitement,” “Contribute to the earth and society,” and “Develop along with our employees,” aiming to be a company that is trusted by society at all times. To achieve this corporate vision, we have high ethical standards, acquire an awareness of compliance with laws, regulations, and rules, and act in ways that will cause the Komatsu Matere Group to be evaluated even more highly as a corporate entity with a high level of fairness and transparency.
Compliance System
We prevent corporate scandals by promoting compliance through the following organizations and approaches.| Compliance Committee | This organization operates our compliance system by formulating action plans, checking their progress, deliberating important cases, and handling rewards and punishments, for example. If a scandal should regrettably occur, this committee is responsible for handling the matter urgently. It consists mainly of members of the management meeting. |
|---|---|
| Compliance Counter | This serves as the internal contact point that accepts information, consultations, and whistle blowing from the viewpoint of preventive maintenance. |
| Compliance Card | We have created a Compliance Card including the basic message, our Code of Conduct, Key Points of Actions, and Compliance Test, which are based on our management philosophy. We have distributed this card to all employees of the Komatsu Matere Group as a tool for raising awareness of compliance and providing training. |
