Internal Whistle-Blowing System of MISUMI Group

Internal Whistleblowing System and Whistleblower Protection

Misumi Group has established an Internal Whistleblowing System called the “Corporate Ethics Helpline,” where employees of Group companies, both domestically and internationally, can consult and report inappropriate conduct. The system is operated as followings.

Helpline desk is set at an external law firm. The report is kept strictly confidential.
The Employees globally throughout Misumi Group can report to this helpdesk either in Japanese or English.
Whistleblower’s anonymity is strictly protected if he/she wishes.
Whistleblowers are guaranteed of no disadvantages due to reporting or using the helpline.
Some global key sites also set local helpline desks with local external law firms.
These local helpline desks also preserve confidentiality, anonymity, and protection of whistleblowers.

Additionally, a consultation desk has been established within the Human Resources Department where employees can discuss harassment and other inappropriate workplace conduct. The consultation desk also guarantees the anonymity of whistleblowers and ensures that no disadvantage occurs to them.

Investigation and Response Decision for Reports

When a report is made to the Corporate Ethics Helpline or the Human Resources Department’s　consultation desk, both the Human Resources and Legal Departments conduct an internal　investigation into the facts and circumstances, ensuring the utmost care to protect the whistleblower’s anonymity and safety. The necessity and content of any disciplinary action based on the investigation results are discussed and determined at the “Human Resources Compliance Meeting”, which includes the Representative Director.
When disciplinary action is taken, the department name is disclosed (without revealing individual names), and the fact of the disciplinary action is announced internally to ensure transparency in the process.
