Compliance
Approach to Compliance
The CSR theme "Compliance" is based on the following policy.
"Tamron is aware that it exists together with society. We place a priority on observing laws and regulations while respecting social rules, and carry out our corporate activities with a high sense of ethics."
Anti-Bribery Policy
We do not provide any form of gifts, entertaiment, money, or any other improper advantage that could be interpreted as a bribe to domestic or foreign public officials, or to individuals in equivalent or related positions. This policy applies universally to all directors and employees of Tamron Group (including contracted, dispatched, and part-time workers, as well as those in similar positions).
Management of Compliance
To promote compliance, TAMRON has established the Compliance Committee, which is chaired by the Representative Director and deliberates on basic items for the promotion of compliance, and the Compliance Promotion Committee, which comprises members selected from each business division and provides training and education on legal compliance. We established an independent internal reporting desk with stringent confidentiality requirements externally to ensure the thorough implementation of compliance. The reporting desk has begun operating from FY2019. As a risk that includes overseas operations, we have also identified the prevention of information leaks including trade secrets as a key issue, and will further strengthen our management of this issue going forward.
Please see here for internal control including whistleblowing.
Compliance Training Program
Tamron provides compliance education for all employees, regardless of employment type, including temporary and part-time workers. The training covers laws, internal rules, anti-corruption policies, corporate ethics, and the Tamron Code of Conduct. Each month, selected Compliance Committee members in each department attend lectures, and the content is shared via video, internal meetings, and online tests to assess understanding.
*Subcontractors excluded.
