Compliance
For the Mitsubishi Chemical Group, the word “compliance” encompasses not only basic adherence to the applicable laws and regulations but also observance of corporate ethics and general social norms. We engage in a range of initiatives to foster a corporate culture of compliance.
Compliance Structure
The Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), appointed by the Board of Directors, is the person responsible for overall compliance management and the establishment and operation of compliance systems at Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation and its subsidiaries. A CCO has also been appointed at Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, a major subsidiary, under the guidance of whom a compliance system has been established in each business group and corporate function unit.
To promote compliance on a global scale, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation has established the Global Compliance Regulations and divided the world into five regions and formulated the Compliance Program to standardize and enhance the quality of compliance activities in each region. Through this program, we implement standardized measures globally, such as training and perception surveys, as well as activities tailored to the local culture and characteristics of each region. We verify and improve activities each time they are implemented and strengthen the plan–do–check–act cycle for compliance management. The details and progress of these compliance activities are deliberated and reported at the Compliance Meeting chaired by the CCO.
If a compliance violation is foreseen or occurs at Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, it is reported to the CCO via the compliance department in the region of occurrence. The relevant departments and the compliance department will then work with Specialized Departments to take appropriate preventive or corrective actions and measures to avoid recurrence.
