We have established a Compliance Committee, headed by the Director in Charge of General Affairs. It meets monthly or whenever the Chairman deems necessary. The committee reviews and maintains our compliance system, provides training aimed at preventing violations, and discusses measures to prevent recurrence of violations.
Whistleblowing System
To detect and promptly resolve misconduct in the workplace and among employees (including illegal or unethical acts such as misconduct in research and development activities) as well as harassment, we have established the Internal Reporting System Operational Regulations and set up an internal reporting hotline. By appropriately implementing these procedures and preventing harassment, we aim to ensure thorough compliance and strengthen public trust. The content of each report is reviewed and investigated, and corrective action is taken as necessary. We take thorough measures to protect whistleblowers so that they do not suffer any disadvantage as a result of making a report. We have also set up a "Compliance Reporting Hotline" on our website.
Harassment Prevention
To prevent harassment issues in our workplace and maintain a pleasant working environment, we have established "Harassment Prevention Regulations" and established a committee and a consultation desk. These regulations stipulate the investigation and deliberation procedures for complaints of inappropriate behavior. The regulations also stipulate that, if inappropriate conduct is identified by the committee, disciplinary action or workplace environment improvements will be implemented.
Training
We provide compliance training twice a year to our employees to maintain and improve their compliance awareness.

Response to Violations
When an employee's compliance violation becomes evident, an investigation is conducted and measures are taken to prevent recurrence. Employees involved in violations will be subject to disciplinary action, which will be determined in accordance with the Disciplinary Regulations, through deliberation by the Disciplinary Committee, the Representative Director and President, and the Board of Directors.
Security Export Control Efforts
In accordance with the international export control framework (international export control regime) aimed at maintaining international peace and security, we have established the Security Export Control Regulations based on the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (Foreign Exchange Act) and are implementing security export controls. Under these regulations, the Representative Director and President is appointed as the person ultimately responsible for export control, and an Export Control Department has been established to oversee Group companies. The Export Control Department collects information on legal revisions related to security export controls, disseminates this information within the company, and provides training. Through these efforts, the department works to ensure strict compliance with laws and regulations, strengthen the export control framework, and prevent the outflow of goods and sensitive technologies that could be diverted for military use.
The TAMAGAWA SEIKI Group(*) adheres to the following basic principles of disaster prevention, which serve as the basis for all decisions and actions.
We have established and operate a crisis management framework that centralizes authority under the President as Crisis Management Officer and the Executive Officer in charge of General Affairs as Head of the Crisis Response Headquarters, thereby ensuring rapid and appropriate response in the event of a crisis.
Disaster Preparedness Training
To prepare for the possibility of fire, we regularly conduct "specialized initial firefighting training" that focuses on initial firefighting response.
In order to ensure that everyone working within our plants can act proactively, training includes the use of fire extinguishers, evacuation drills, training in the use of indoor and outdoor fire hydrants, exercises involving the actual sounding of emergency alarms, and simulations of reporting procedures to the fire department. In addition, we work to establish a framework that enables rapid and accurate response during disasters by clarifying and disseminating the criteria for when initial fire extinguishing is no longer feasible, and by securing evacuation routes for use in actual emergencies.

Fire and Explosion Prevention Patrols
With a strong commitment to "never causing a fire," we regularly conduct fire and explosion prevention patrols. In environments where flammable gases and dust are present, even a moment of carelessness can lead to a major accident. We meticulously inspect equipment and its surroundings, as well as piping ducts and electrical wiring, to maintain and improve a safe and secure workplace.

The TAMAGAWA SEIKI Group has established an Information Security Committee to ensure the appropriate protection of information assets. Based on relevant regulations, the committee continuously conducts awareness-raising activities, inspects and reviews countermeasures, considers training content, and develops emergency response plans.
The Representative Director and President is appointed as the person responsible for information security, and the committee serves as the executive body.
Physical Security Measures
To protect information assets from unauthorized entry, damage, or interference at facilities where information systems are installed and information storage locations, we have implemented physical measures such as locking, authentication, and password locks. In addition, entry into company premises is verified through prior registration, and surveillance cameras are installed at entrances and exits to monitor for unlawful intrusions.
Human Security Measures
We define authority and responsibilities regarding information security and provide training to ensure that employees are fully aware of laws, regulations, and rules.
Technical Security Measures
To appropriately protect information assets from unauthorized external access, we implement technical measures such as access control to information assets and network management.
Operational Security Measures
We regularly monitor compliance with information security laws and regulations, implement technical measures, and provide security education and training for employees. We also establish and maintain an appropriate operational system, including clearly defining and thoroughly disseminating reporting channels to ensure prompt and appropriate response in the event of an emergency.
The Internal Audit Office conducts audits from an independent standpoint with the aim of preserving the value of the TAMAGAWA SEIKI Group, promoting rationalization and efficiency in management, and optimizing operations. Audits include detailed examinations of business processes, confirmation of compliance with laws and internal regulations, and risk management analysis. Following the audit, reports, advice, and recommendations are provided to management, and subsequent follow-up is also carried out.
