Compliance Consultation and Reporting System
The purpose of the Group’s consultation and reporting system (hotline, whistleblowing system) is to quickly detect and prevent any illegal activities or unethical conduct, whether actual or suspected, using a framework that properly processes reports and consultations regarding unethical conduct and illegal activities by individuals or organizations.
This hotline is operated jointly by Chiyoda, its domestic Group companies and overseas Group companies. It has an External Consultation Center with a lawyer available to everyone in the workplace and staff who specialize in women’s workplace issues.
In the fiscal year 2022 (ended in March 2023), the system received reports as follows.
Feedback of investigation results to the employees from the appropriate department in accordance with whistleblowing procedures.
