LINTEC provides management-level legal training for directors and executive officers to promote understanding of corporate legal affairs.
For employees, legal training primarily for sales personnel has been offered on an ongoing basis, and legal courses have been incorporated into rank-specific group training for new managers and new supervisors. These training programs are designed to increase employees’ sensitivity to “legal risks” that may lurk in their daily business activities, and to create a corporate culture that enables early detection and response to risks.

The LINTEC Group publishes Legal News on a regular basis to share information on legal affairs with employees. We also run e-learning programs to help solidify their understanding.

The LINTEC Group has compiled the LINTEC Group Compliance Guidelines into a booklet that is published in several languages and distributed to all employees to ensure that each person clearly understands the code of conduct they are required to follow. We provide opportunities for employees to gain a thorough understanding of these, including by having these read aloud together in workplaces.

“Rinri Kawaraban,” which started in fiscal 2006, is an intranet ethics news column featuring senryu (short haiku-like poems) with an additional explanation to familiarize employees with standards for ethics and conduct. The poems are compiled into a biennial booklet, “Rinri Kawaraban Mamotte Masuka?” which is not only used internally but also introduced to suppliers and customers. In addition, the Corporate Ethics Subcommittee creates an ethics poster once a year and displays it in each workplace to raise awareness.

The LINTEC Group has established a Global Whistleblowing System and an Internal Reporting System with the aims of promptly identifying any serious legal or serious compliance violations, and of implementing corrective actions to prevent their recurrence. Reports are mainly received by third-party lawyers who ensure confidentiality for both the whistleblower and the report content, and allowing for prompt investigation. A summary of the report is also presented to the Board of Directors and the Audit and Supervisory Committee.
Additionally, LINTEC have set up a “Personnel/Labor & Compliance Consultation Desk” where employees can consult directly with the Human Resources or the General Affairs and Legal Departments regarding issues with labor and workplace environments or workplace compliance matters that cannot be resolved internally. The gender of the person you wish to consult with can also be specified, so that employees can feel comfortable discussing issues such as sexual harassment.
To improve the workplace environment, we have also established a harassment counseling desk staffed by an external service provider.
Through these systems, we aim to promote fair and transparent business operations and create a healthy work environment free from harassment.

In accordance with its human rights policy, the LINTEC Group respects the human rights of all people involved in the global development of its business activities.

The LINTEC Group conducts a survey★ once a year to monitor working conditions and human rights in order to confirm that it is providing a safe and healthy work environment where human rights are properly respected.
The survey covers a wide range of items, including legal compliance, elimination of discrimination, respect for human rights, underage employee prohibited, prohibition of forced labor, wages, working hours, dialogue and negotiation with employees, safe and healthy working environments, and human resource development and other items.
We will continue this regular survey to understand our current conditions, and improve them.

The LINTEC Group maintains sound relationships with political and administrative organizations. Many countries have laws prohibiting corporations from making political donations. When engaging in transactions with public organizations whether inside or outside of Japan, we refrain from giving gifts and entertainment to these officials. In an effort to promote anti-corruption awareness among employees, relevant descriptions are included in the Compliance Guidelines.
In addition, we regard all business partners as partners with whom we grow together, and work to build relationships of trust. Compliance Guidelines state the importance of complying with laws and regulations in each country, and are used to raise awareness.

Based on the spirit of the company motto, “Sincerity and Creativity,” the LINTEC Group properly pays taxes in compliance with the laws and regulations stipulated by the countries or regions where its business sites are located, or by the countries or regions concerned.
In a bid to ensure the lawful and appropriate processing of day-to-day transactions, we educate our employees on the concepts of corporate accounting using the relevant descriptions included in the Compliance Guidelines, which are distributed to all group employees.
