Compliance awareness month

Compliance Awareness Month is held every November as a training month for compliance-related training, with the aim of raising compliance awareness and acquiring knowledge among SoftBank Group employees. As part of this, we conduct compliance tests to self-diagnose basic knowledge and understanding of compliance.

Establishment of a hotline (internal reporting and suggestion system)

In order to discover compliance issues early, make improvements, and prevent recurrence, we have established multiple internal and external points of contact for all executives and employees working in our group to consult and report. In response to consultations and reports, we conduct timely and appropriate investigations and take necessary measures after confirming the facts. At these points of contact, the confidentiality of consultations and whistleblowers is strictly maintained, and disadvantageous treatment of those seeking consultation and reporting is prohibited. The counter can also be used anonymously.
