The MOL Group has instituted ビンゴ ルーレット regulations to determine behavioral norms so that all our employees and executives are committed to making ビンゴ ルーレット a prerequisite of everyday business activities and to making the appropriate decisions. This thorough approach is supported by continuous ビンゴ ルーレット training. Beyond complying with laws, regulations and Articles of Incorporation, our actions are guided by the Company's values and Code of Conduct (MOL CHARTS), which includes the rule: "Always be cognizant of ビンゴ ルーレット and act in accordance with social norms and corporate ethics." We set up the ビンゴ ルーレット Committee to manage the development and reinforcement of ビンゴ ルーレット systems in the MOL Group. Chaired by the Chief Strategy Officer (who also serves as the Representative Director and Executive Vice President) and vice-chaired by the Chief ビンゴ ルーレット & Legal Officer. This committee meets every two months (six times a year) to continuously monitor our group's ビンゴ ルーレット. Additionally, the Board of Directors receives regular reports from the ビンゴ ルーレット Committee and assumes the supervisory responsibility for ビンゴ ルーレット-related initiatives.
The ビンゴ ルーレット Committee exists as a subordinate under the Executive Committee to study and deliberate ビンゴ ルーレット-related matters and to develop and enhance the company-wide ビンゴ ルーレット system. The committee regularly analyzes trends in ビンゴ ルーレット cases and reports, while also paying attention to the enforcement and amendments of laws and changes in social conditions, to address the risk of new ビンゴ ルーレット issues arising.
The Chief ビンゴ ルーレット & Legal Officer manages ビンゴ ルーレット officers and takes responsibility for enhancing the ビンゴ ルーレット system, and is appointed by the Board of Directors.
The general manager, unit manager, branch manager, and corporate function manager, and for “group companies belonging to the head office organization,” the general manager of the sales division in charge or the director in charge is appointed as the person in charge of ビンゴ ルーレット (ビンゴ ルーレット officer). The ビンゴ ルーレット officers shall ensure that their respective division, office, or group company complies in charge with all laws, regulations, and rules relating to its operations, and that it acts with the due care of a good manager in accordance with social norms and corporate ethics. When a violation or an act suspected to be a violation has been discovered and a ビンゴ ルーレット officer receives such report or consultation, he/she reports it to the ビンゴ ルーレット Committee administrative office, and necessary corrective steps are taken without delay. The confidentiality of the reporter or consulter is strictly maintained.
The MOL Group has established both internal and external ビンゴ ルーレット advisory service desks that MOL and MOL Group personnel (including full-time, contract and temporary staff) can consult for advice, or report any issues or violations, related to general ビンゴ ルーレット (such as violation of laws, company rules/regulations, and corporate ethics) and all human rights stipulated for ビンゴ ルーレット in the MOL Group Human Rights Policy. These desks are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and accept reports and consultations in Japanese or English by means of email, letter, or telephone. Anonymous reporting is also possible, the confidentiality of those reporting or consulting is strictly maintained, and it is guaranteed that they will not be treated disadvantageously. The Group also guarantees that those who report or consult on violations and those who cooperate in investigations will not be treated disadvantageously or face retaliation. We have established internal and external ビンゴ ルーレット advisory service desks for customers, business partners, and other external stakeholders as described above, and also an external advisory service desk (operated by the Japan Center for Engagement and Remedy on Business and Human Rights (JaCER)) to receive a wide range of complaints and reports related to human rights, in ビンゴ ルーレット with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

In the case of a consultation or report, we will conduct an appropriate investigation after consulting with the parties concerned, and if a violation is found, the cause and its details, including measures to prevent recurrence, will be discussed at the ビンゴ ルーレット Committee, and we will instruct the responsible person to make improvements as required. Unless there are special circumstances, we will promptly interview the person who reported or consulted to confirm the details of the report. As a result, further investigations are carried out if deemed necessary. The Corporate Audit Division, which is independent of the corporate employment structure, is responsible for the internal ビンゴ ルーレット advisory service desk. The external lawyer representing the person who reports to or consults with the external consultation service will act as an intermediary between the company and the person in charge of the investigation.
Each MOL Group company has established processes and disciplinary standards for reporting the occurrence of ビンゴ ルーレット violations, giving remedial instructions and taking corrective actions for violations, and taking disciplinary action in accordance with its own internal ビンゴ ルーレット rules and regulations.
In an effort to further raise awareness of ビンゴ ルーレット, and to complement ビンゴ ルーレット advisory service desks, the ビンゴ ルーレット Enhancement Month is held for executives and employees of our company and Group companies. In order to identify potential problems and signs of problems as early as possible, and to take preventive measures, it is conducted every year from fisical year 2017, and it receives a wide range of information that shows signs of non-ビンゴ ルーレット for about 1 month. To date, our company and its group companies have received 131 consultations and reports, and in some cases were able to cope with problems before they developed into major problems. Anonymous reporting is also possible, the confidentiality of those reporting or consulting is strictly maintained, and it is guaranteed that they will not be treated disadvantageously.
MOL proactively builds awareness of the reporting system (ビンゴ ルーレット advisory service desk) among all MOL executives and employees and its group companies through regular training programs and the company intranet. In addition, the intranet discloses cases of ビンゴ ルーレット violations and the number of cases to ensure the reliability of the reporting system and prevent the occurrence of ビンゴ ルーレット incidents.
On March 18, 2014, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) found that the MOL Group had violated Article 3 of the Japanese Antimonopoly Act in certain car carrier shipping trades. Having accepted this fact in good faith, the Group is pushing ahead with initiatives aimed at ensuring full anti-trust ビンゴ ルーレット all the time. The group has established the "Antimonopoly Act ビンゴ ルーレット Action Guidelines" to prevent violations of the Act by officers and employees and follows procedures such as prior notification, etc. to the Chief ビンゴ ルーレット and Legal Officer or ビンゴ ルーレット Officer in its contacts with competitors. In addition, we regularly conduct e-learning and training sessions to ensure ビンゴ ルーレット with the Antimonopoly Act. The group's annual engagement survey includes ビンゴ ルーレット-related questions, and the results are visualized and shared throughout the organization, while being used for organizational development, including the prevention of ビンゴ ルーレット violations. For more details on this survey, please visit "Engagement Survey".
The MOL Group has established a policy on the prevention of corrupt practices in general, including bribery, conflict of interest, facilitation payments, and money laundering, to further promote management in accordance with our values and code of conduct regarding ビンゴ ルーレット. All Group executives and employees are striving to eliminate bribery and corruption in our business operations through this policy, and we expect all our business partners to support the policy. In addition, we ask our business partners for their cooperation in implementing the "MOL Group Supplier Procurement Guidelines," which covers the prevention of corruption. For details, please visit "Responsible Procurement" Note also that the policy was approved at our Executive Committee in 2022. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing this policy.
In addition, we established an internal rule called the "Anti-Corruption Policy" in October 2015 to eliminate bribery and excessive business entertaining of public servants as well as those outside the government. This policy ensures that we "build good relationships based on trust with customers and business partners," as stated in the ビンゴ ルーレット Policy. This policy and rule are communicated to executives and employees through workshops and e-learning to encourage ビンゴ ルーレット.
Political contributions are made in ビンゴ ルーレット with the Political Funds Control Act and in accordance with appropriate internal procedures. For actual results of political contributions, please refer to "Sustainability Data".
The MOL Group conducts a risk assessment of its group companies every year, and among them, we also check for the existence of risks related to overall ビンゴ ルーレット, such as "bribery," "Antitrust Act violations," "various business laws," "violations of internal rules," "embezzlement," and "various types of harassment." Based on the survey results, we conduct internal audits with priority on companies and divisions that are deemed to have high risk. The audit results are passed through the Executive Committee, which instructs the auditee to take corrective action to remedy the problem. In addition, improvements are monitored and reported quarterly to the Executive Committee.
The MOL Group conducts education to foster and establish ビンゴ ルーレット awareness in executives and employees. Training programs on antitrust act and anti-corruption are held annually on an ongoing basis, as well as ビンゴ ルーレット-related e-learning. For actual E-learning participation rates, please refer to "Sustainability Data". In addition, the MOL Group includes ビンゴ ルーレット-related items in personnel evaluations and compensation decisions for executives and employees. The MOL Group sets goals for strengthening and fostering the ビンゴ ルーレット awareness of each individual and for training and guiding subordinates to achieve these goals and conducts annual performance evaluations on the status of achievement of these goals. Through these personnel evaluations, we strive to raise the ビンゴ ルーレット awareness of each executive and employee.
The MOL Group establishes a rule of conduct that our executives and employees should adhere to, considering the perspectives of various stakeholders. By practicing this rule of conduct, our executives and employees strive to enhance corporate value continuously, not only by improving the workplace environment but also by gaining the empathy of various stakeholders surrounding our company. Additionally, this rule of conduct is approved by the Management Meeting at the time of its establishment and revision.
As a company that operates globally, the MOL Group believes that tax transparency and payment of taxes are fundamental and important social responsibilities that a company should fulfill. We comply with the spirit of the applicable tax laws and regulations of all countries in which we do business and pay our fair share of taxes. In addition, we understand that using tax havens without business purposes or actual conditions to enjoy excessive tax benefits will impede the proper payment of taxes in each country and hinder the development of those countries and regions, and we will not use tax havens for the purpose of tax avoidance.
