Compliance Training for
Directors and Employees of the Nikon Group
The Nikon Group aims to instill an awareness of the concept of compliance in every person at the Nikon Group, from our top management to each and every employee.
At the March 2025 meeting of the Compliance Committee, a compliance seminar was conducted by the Compliance Department head for committee members, including Nikon's full-time directors. The seminar covered specific points of caution and required responses to management based on cases that have occurred within the company.
For employees, we provide classroom training and e-learning. In fiscal year 2024, we revised the Nikon Code of Conduct. The Nikon Group in Japan provided education on these revisions to the Nikon Code of Conduct, along with education on the prevention of bribery, the fraud triangle, and other topics, led by compliance coordinators in each department and company. At Group companies outside Japan, the Regional Headquarters take the lead in continuously implementing activities to train and raise awareness of the Code of Conduct.
