To maintain and strengthen its compliance framework, Nikon set up a Business Conduct Committee, chaired by a Vice President of the Group and organized under the jurisdiction of the CSR Committee.
The Compliance Section of the Administration Department, which serves as the secretariat for the Business Conduct Committee, acts on policy determined by the Committee in coordination with individual departments.
Nikon established a Code of Conduct Consulting and Reporting System for situations that arise counter to the “Nikon Code of Conduct.” The system serves as a unified contact point for the Group in Japan; as a consultation and whistle-blowing mechanism to enable resolution and correction of problems; and as a means of minimizing the effects and reoccurrence of such problems.
Under the system, consultations are conducted in a way that protects the privacy of individuals seeking consultation and avoids any adverse impact on such persons in the areas of human resources management or treatment, to ensure thorough protection of such persons seeking consultation. Consultations are responded to by taking appropriate measures to prevent negative effects inside or outside the company and to prevent reoccurrence of any problems, based on thorough examination of the actual circumstances.
