Compliance

We recognize that compliance involves more than following laws and regulations but also conforming with social norms and adhering to the Company’s internal rules.

Compliance Structure

Continually strengthening compliance is a management priority, and we have established a compliance framework to ensure adherence to laws, regulations, social norms, and internal rules, as well as proper and efficient business execution. The Company maintains strict Compliance Regulations, which includes the Code of Conduct, and a Legal Affairs & Audit Department that appoints compliance officers and evaluates compliance activities and performance.

Security Export Control System

To support the Company’s strategy for expanding global operations, Fuji Soft established the Export and Import Control Section in 2012 to strengthen its security export control system. Recognizing the system’s high level of security, in September 2025 the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry granted the Company special licenses for general comprehensive service transactions and for export and services trade software.

Compliance Education

The Company promotes compliance awareness through periodic tier-specific training for newly hired and newly promoted employees. All employees also take e-learning programs covering key compliance topics.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption

The Compliance Regulations and Basic Rules established by the Board of Directors mandate strict compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption requirements throughout the Company.

Employee Anti-Corruption Awareness

The Basic Rules and Employee Guidelines are strictly followed throughout the Company and mandate thorough compliance, including the prevention of bribery and all forms of corruption.

Intellectual Property Policy

The Fuji Soft Group regards its intellectual property (IP), including copyrights, patents, utility models, design rights, trademarks, and expertise, as an important management asset and works to maximize its value through active acquisition, protection, and use. We comply with IP laws and regulations and respect and take steps to prevent infringement of valid third-party IP rights as part of our commitment to maintaining quality, delivery timelines, and confidentiality. Our approach to IP is to accumulate IP rights and actively use our IP in our business activities.

Internal Reporting

The Company maintains an internal reporting desk, an independent reporting desk supervised by a director of the Audit and Supervisory Committee and outside directors, and a Group reporting desk. These hotlines support a self-correcting framework within our organization by helping prevent and promptly address compliance violations and inappropriate conduct.

We believe anonymity is essential to for maintaining a fair, transparent, and effective internal reporting systems, and operate a dedicated anonymous-only helpline managed by an external service provider.
