Compliance Training
The FANCL Group works to enhances compliance awareness of personnel through a range of compliance training programs. Training is also provided to director-level personnel, including on revised laws and regulations, to strengthen the Group’s internal compliance framework. Going forward, we will continue to promote understanding of laws and regulations, case studies, and internal rules among personnel, further raising compliance awareness.
Compliance study sessions
To raise employee awareness of compliance, the FANCL Group conducts compliance study sessions in addition to management-level-based compliance education.
In the fiscal year ended December 2024, in addition to video training to help with understanding of transaction processes, we held study sessions on the points to be aware of when sharing information through social media for departments that manage official social media accounts. Study sessions on the Antimonopoly Law were also held for relevant departments.
Going forward, we will continue to ensure that our employees are thoroughly familiar with legal knowledge, case studies, and internal rules regarding the scope of compliance risks, to improve their awareness of compliance.
Seminar on Antitrust Laws※1 and the Act on Ensuring Proper Transactions Involving Specified Entrusted Business Operators※2
The FANCL Group understands the importance of maintaining fair and equitable relationships with our business partners. In training sessions for employees on the Act on Ensuring Proper Transactions Involving Specified Entrusted Business Operators (formerly the Subcontract Act), we review the enforcement status published by the Japan Fair Trade Commission, including the number and details of guidance and recommendations issued. The training sessions are designed to encourage employees to reflect on their day-to-day operations, enabling us, as a contracting party, to ensure that our trading partners can engage with us in a seamless and positive manner.Also, based on observation of the recent performance of activities by young employees who are in the early stage of their careers, we carried out training for new employees to foster an understanding of the importance of coexistence and co-prosperity with business partners. The FANCL Group revised the FANCL Group Sustainable Procurement Policy and the Trading Partner (Supplier) Code in May 2025, with the aim of achieving responsible sustainable procurement in collaboration with trading partners, so that together we can realize responsible, sustainable procurement that is considerate of the environment, human rights, and labor issues. These efforts cannot be realized without the cooperation of our trading partners, and we will continue to promote fair and appropriate transaction practices within the Group going forward.
