Compliance

Basic Approach

The IDEC Group has established “The IDEC Way” as our guiding philosophy in pursuit of realizing our Purpose: “Create the optimum environment for humans and machines, and achieve safety, ANSHIN, and well-being for people around the world.” We have developed and globally issued "the IDEC GROUP Code of Conduct" as the set of behavioral principles that everyone in our organization must follow to realize the Vision, Mission, and Core Values defined in “The IDEC Way,”
This Code of Conduct applies to all individuals working within the IDEC Group and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including directors, officers, employees, temporary staff, and contract workers. Everyone working as a member of the IDEC Group is expected to comply with this Code of Conduct and to perform their duties with integrity.

In the 5th edition revised in 2026, the content was reorganized into five categories, based on international standards:

• Human Rights and Labor

• Environmental Conservation

• Engagement with Stakeholders and Society

• Proper Use and Protection of Company Assets and Information

• Business Ethics and Fair Business Practices

These behavioral standards, together with explanatory materials describing their intent, are made available on the company intranet for access whenever needed.
The Code of Conduct and related policies are reviewed and revised as necessary in response to changes in society and evolving stakeholder expectations.
To build a better future for the IDEC Group, we are committed to consciously practicing these behavioral standards every day—both as a company and as individuals.

As part of our internal audits, we also conduct audits to check for compliance violations and appropriately recognize the risks associated with
neglect or violations of compliance. Through our internal reporting (whistleblowing) system and risk monitoring activities, we have also established a system that enables us to detect prohibited acts, either before they occur, or as soon as possible after they occur.

Anti-corruption Initiatives

The IDEC Group clearly states in the ‟IDEC GROUP Code of Conduct,ˮ that the Group shall not engage in bribery, improper benefits, misconduct or fraud, other corrupt practices, extortion, or embezzlement under any circumstances, and shall have no relationships whatsoever with anti-social forces, including through business transactions. In addition, the IDEC Group Anti-Corruption Policy sets out specific prohibited acts. These policies apply not only to IDEC Group employees but also require compliance from related business partners. Furthermore, we are advancing the development of locally optimized policies, internal rules, and guidelines in each region, and are promoting anti-corruption efforts across the entire Group.
Policies, internal regulations, and guidelines are formulated and reviewed on a regular basis with the approval of management, taking into account international standards and amendments to laws and regulations.
In addition, anti-corruption is addressed as an annual theme in compliance training programs.
Through the use of concrete case studies, we promote awareness and understanding of our internal policies and work thoroughly to enhance corporate ethics and ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
Moreover, through our internal whistleblowing system and risk monitoring activities, we have established mechanisms to prevent the occurrence of prohibited acts such as bribery, or to detect them at an early stage.

Results of FY2026 (Consolidated)

Internal Reporting System

The IDEC Hotline has been established as a hotline that allows users to report compliance violations via either an internal or external contact point, and either anonymously or using real names. We have established internal reporting and operation rules to protect the confidentiality of consultation and reporting, and to prohibit unfavorable treatment of whistleblowers.
When a report is made, the Hotline Contact established within the Risk Management Committee promptly responds to the report, and works at resolving the problem and preventing recurrences. Reports are also promptly communicated to top-level management, and regularly reported to the Board of Directors to share risk information. In cases where management may be involved, a system exists to ensure independence and to liaise with an external law firm.
To enable the system to function globally, we have established a Global Hotline which enables overseas Group company employees to report directly to the head office contact.

In FY2025, the number of cases increased partly due to renewed awareness of the reporting channels.
However, in FY2026, the number of cases decreased compared with FY2025, as the IDEC Group newly established a consultation office that accepts advance consultations for matters where employees may be uncertain whether to file a formal report.
