The company's compliance system centers on our Board of Directors, the Management Committee, the Compliance Committee and the Compliance Department.
The situation regarding internal compliance is constantly studied by the Compliance Department and the results are regularly reported to the Board of Directors and the Management Committee.
The Compliance Committee deliberates important matters concerning compliance.
The Compliance Department makes all possible efforts to promote and thoroughly establish compliance through such measures as urging managers and employees alike to take faithful and honest actions based on clear ethical standards.
In addition, the company takes the initiative in the promotion of the establishment and strengthening of overall group compliance system.
In order to strengthen the compliance system, the company has its external consulting and reporting contact desk by lawyers, in addition to the Compliance Committee, the Compliance Department and personnel in charge of compliance.
This external consulting and reporting contact desk guarantees the complete anonymity of any person consulting or reporting matters regarding the company, thereby reducing the psychological burden on those persons and making consulting and reporting easier.

Response to Money Laundering and Other Issues
Japan’s financial institutions are required to strengthen their responses to money laundering within an international framework, and to meet this requirement we have strengthened our system for assessing, identifying and mitigating the money laundering risks and other risks faced by our clients, in compliance with the guidelines issued by Japan’s Financial Services Agency. We will continue to collect information on the changing external environment and trends at other financial institutions, and will continuously review our business practices under the leadership of our management executive team.
