Risk Management

Business Ethics

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 of the most important risks for the company: "safety and health," "environment," and "corporate ethics," in addition to "crisis management," which has a particularly large impact on the company and its stakeholders. With the aim of responding to cross-sectional issues related to risk management and spreading them horizontally, we hold intensive discussions and check and follow up on the progress of countermeasures.

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 we can quickly restore business operations through a swift and appropriate initial response in the event of the occurrence of major risks such as natural disasters such as large-scale earthquakes, fires, infectious diseases, etc. Based on the three basic principles of prioritizing human life, restoring production, and supporting the local community, we are conducting regular drills in peacetime, 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

ADVICS strives to ensure that each employee shares high ethical standards and naturally practices compliance 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.

Charter of Corporate Behavior

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 awareness-raising activities for implementing compliance

In order to raise employees' awareness of compliance, we provide group training and e-learning programs according to their rank, role, and duties. We also publish a compliance newsletter four times a year, introducing the latest information and case studies. We also hold training sessions for managers and supervisors, in which we invite lawyers from the TMI Law Office to give lectures on the themes of embezzlement, quality falsification, and harassment, followed by discussions.
