The Risk and Compliance Committee centrally supervises and promotes the Company's compliance with laws, regulations, and social norms and its risk control to establish a fairer and more transparent system of Company management. The committee conducts various activities that will lead to the development of a compliance culture and more disciplined management of the Company to maintain and promote sound business activities.
A corporate ethics hotline (internal reporting system) is available for everyone at the Company to report, or contact for consultation regarding, any legal violation, misconduct, or act that undermines corporate ethics committed by an executive, employee, or other worker, whether individually or organizationally. This system helps us to strengthen our self-corrective function and be fully positioned to ensure even stricter compliance.
Matters reported are investigated immediately and measures for improvement, correction, or prevention of recurrence are taken as needed. The Internal Reporting Rules ensure, among others, the protection of the identity of reporters, prohibition of unfair treatment of reporters, fair and equitable investigations, and notification of the investigation results to reporters.
The corporate ethics hotline also accepts requests for anonymous and non-anonymous consultations and answers questions from workers regarding matters other than legal violations or misconduct.
tdi actively operates its business in a way that will contribute to the prosperity of the Japanese economy and society and the creation of a bright future under its corporate principles of "Create a bright future with information technology", "Maintain an attitude of kindness and empathy toward other people", and "Contribute to and become an essential part of society".
