LINTEC CORPORATION and TOKYO LINTEC KAKO, INC. obtained the ISO 22301^＊1 certification in March 2014 in order to be able to minimize the human cost and resume business as early as possible following an earthquake or other disaster, and also operate the BCMS^＊2 .
We provide education to make sure that in the event of a disaster individual employees can identify their role and take independent action according to pre-determined procedures. In addition, each site actively conducts training sessions in accordance with the business content and characteristics of the location.
The operation status of the BCMS at each site is confirmed by internal audit, and employees’ opinions and suggestions for improvement are discussed by the corporate BCMS council and reflected in group-wide initiatives.

• ＊1ISO22301: An international standard for BCMS issued by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) in June 2012.
• ＊2BCMS: Abbreviation for Business Continuity Management System. This is a management system to establish a framework for enabling the early recovery of business operations even after emergencies such as disasters or pandemics have occurred.

LINTEC has developed the Information Security Management Rules. The company performs an information security self-audit as part of e-learning programs to help employees to understand more about and become more aware of the importance of information management.

The LINTEC Group has established a Global Whistleblowing System and an Internal Reporting System for use by all officers and employees with which they can report, without any disadvantage, any serious legal or serious compliance violations that they identify. 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, making it easier to discuss 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 strengthen company-wide compliance and create a healthy work environment free from harassment.
