Risk Management
Corporate Social Responsibility
ADVICS recognizes that risk management is an extremely important management issue in order to continually increase its corporate value and fulfill its social responsibilities.
In order to minimize damage in the event of a risk occurring and restore business operations as quickly as possible, we are implementing risk reduction activities at all Group locations both in Japan and overseas.
CSR Committee
Taking a bird's-eye view of the overall risks surrounding ADVICS Group, we have identified four areas of greatest importance that have a particularly large impact on the company and its stakeholders: "crisis management," "health and safety," "environment," and "corporate ethics." The knowledge and issues gained through the committee are shared with the relevant departments, leading to the development of more effective response measures. Through these efforts, we are steadily strengthening the risk management system for the entire group and fulfilling our social responsibility.
Information Security
With the advancement of IoT and DX, the importance of information security measures in companies is increasing. In addition, awareness of personal information protection has been growing in countries around the world in recent years, and regulations are being strengthened. In addition to technical measures, in order to strengthen confidentiality management and raise the awareness of each employee, we are promoting the creation of mechanisms and rules based on consistent policies, strengthening monitoring functions, and training and education across the entire group.

BCP (Business Continuity Plan)
We have formulated a BCP to ensure that business can be restored as soon as possible through a swift and appropriate initial response in the event of a major risk, such as a natural disaster like a large-scale earthquake, or a fire or infectious disease. Based on the three basic principles of prioritizing human life, supporting the local community, and restoring production, we are conducting regular drills during normal times, strengthening our systems, and preparing manuals.
Education and enlightenment
We provide education for each level of the organization, and distribute pocketbooks on basic safety behavior and fire prevention that all employees must follow, which they must carry at all times. We periodically post various types of risk information on the company intranet, and encourage employees to prepare for risks through e-learning. We have also set up an educational dojo in Plant, with exhibits and experience corners that display lessons learned and discoveries made from past disasters, to ensure that experiences are not forgotten and to prevent recurrence.

Business Ethics
As a member of AISIN Group, ADVICS strives to ensure that each employee shares high ethical standards and practices compliance naturally across the Group and globally.
AISIN Group Compliance System
We have established Business Conduct and Ethics Committee, which is responsible for deciding important policies and systems related to compliance. In 2018, in order to ensure a certain level of compliance across the entire group, we consolidated the legal functions of each company and established the Group Headquarters Legal dept., which plans and promotes compliance activities for the group and globally.
Ethics hotline
We have set up a compliance consultation desk to receive consultations from employees and their families. When responding to inquiries, we strive to detect and correct misconduct at an early stage while giving due consideration to human rights, such as protecting privacy and preventing disadvantage to those who make inquiries. We have set up consultation desks within the company, with lawyers, and at AISIN Group Headquarters so that they can be used depending on the content.
AISIN Group Sustainability Charter
By engaging in dialogue with stakeholders, we aim to anticipate social issues and social needs, and to create a virtuous cycle of realizing a sustainable society and improving corporate value through our business activities. To achieve this, we have established 11 principles, and will base everything on "“Quality Supremacy”," acting in good faith with high ethical standards and social common sense. We also require our supply chain to understand this charter and act in accordance with it.

Education and enlightenment
To raise employee awareness of compliance, we provide group training and e-learning tailored to employee rank, role, and duties. We also regularly publish a compliance newsletter, introducing the latest information and case studies to raise awareness across the company. We also invite lawyers from law firms to give lectures for managers and supervisors on topics such as harassment prevention, and hold training sessions that involve discussions based on case studies. In addition to this, we also provide training for executives to deepen their understanding of important laws and regulations such as the Companies Act and the Antimonopoly Act.
Corporate ethics survey
We conduct an ethics survey for all employees once a year. This survey helps us understand ethical awareness and inappropriate behavior, and we aim to reform the company's culture by implementing the PDCA cycle. The survey is available in six languages to make it easier for foreign employees to respond.
