Framework

The RACCOON Group promotes compliance throughout the Group by installing a compliance office, with the president & representative director as the compliance officer and the person in charge of legal operations under the Business Administration Headquarters of RACCOON HOLDINGS as the compliance secretariat. For such matters as acts suspected of violation of laws, regulations, articles of incorporation, corporate ethics, etc., we have installed an internal point of contact for whistleblowing and consultation within the compliance office and an external point of contact for whistleblowing and consultation within an outside law firm to which an audit and supervisory committee member belongs.
We assure that the confidentiality of any person whistleblowing or consulting will be maintained and that they are not subject to mistreatment.

Employee Training

Led by the person in charge of legal operations serving as the compliance secretariat, compliance training is conducted as orientation training upon employment, whether as a new graduate or mid-career hire. The training is conducted in accordance with the compliance manual that has been prepared for employees to acquire knowledge on compliance.
The compliance manual covers matters ranging from what is compliance to the corporate code of conduct, and the standard of conduct providing more specific standards for conduct as workers for enhancing the effectiveness of compliance. In particular, in terms of the standard of conduct, specific standards for conduct and matters to note are presented for each of “clients and business partners,” “society,” “shareholders and investors,” “workplace,” “business operations,” etc. In this manner, we are striving to ensure the understanding of all employees and widespread compliance.
