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.

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.

Compliance Training and Audits

In each training session, we seek to deepen understanding of the IDEC GROUP Code of Conduct, and continuously conduct case studies of compliance cases related to our operations.
In FY2025, we conducted harassment training and compliance training for employees at our head office and Group companies in Japan. As an individual compliance theme, we conducted training on the Subcontracting Act (formally, the Act against Delay in Payment of Subcontract Proceeds, etc. to Subcontractors), to enable employees involved in subcontracting transactions to deepen their understanding of the various obligations and prohibitions that are required in practice.
We will continue to provide training and education, and continue to communicate information to further instill compliance awareness.
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.

Internal Reporting System

The IDEC Hotline has been established as a contact venue that allows users to select external and internal contact and anonymously or with real names in accordance with the users’ situation. We have established internal reporting and operation rules to protect the confidentiality of consultation and reporting, and to prohibit unfavorable treatment of users. 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 recurrence. The report is also promptly communicated to the top 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.
