As lifestyles and values diversify, and with the IT transformation of business operations, the basic requirements of business continue to change, such as increased demand for speed and accuracy. In an environment that changes moment by moment, our company must be an organization composed of employees who are resilient to change in order to maintain sustainable growth in the medical-related business. Therefore, with the aim of becoming employees and an organization that are resilient to change, we have established the following basic policies in our personnel strategy.
To practice the principle that "a company is its people," we seek diverse talent and create an organization that leverages each individual's uniqueness for business growth, while sharing information to maintain rapid decision-making and conducting efficient organizational management.
We measure the capabilities and potential of our people and organization, and steadily strengthen both our human resources and organizational structure. We also provide an environment where employees can challenge themselves toward growth.
We provide a sustainable work environment where employees can continue to work energetically, through measures such as applying work hours according to employee circumstances including statutory leave and time off, adjusting workload according to health conditions, and establishing new systems.
Our company aims to maximize corporate value and achieve long-term and stable returns to shareholders. Under our management philosophy of "human-friendly healthcare," we have established a basic policy to provide timely information to all stakeholders based on transparency, fairness, and continuity, while complying with relevant laws such as the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, as well as the timely disclosure rules set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
For timely disclosure operations, we have established detailed rules for important information disclosure, and maintain consistency and uniformity in information disclosure by conducting it under the responsibility of the officer in charge of information disclosure. In addition, important information that should be disclosed in a timely manner is promptly disclosed after a decision by the President or the Board of Directors.
Disclosure of important information, such as material facts stipulated in the timely disclosure rules, is made on "TDnet" provided by the stock exchange. In addition, published information will be posted on our company website in a timely manner.
Even for information that does not fall under the category of important information, if it is deemed useful for understanding our company, we will actively disclose it through our company website and other means.
To ensure the comprehensiveness, appropriateness, and timeliness of information disclosure, we will build internal controls and disclosure controls. We will also collaborate with the Audit and Supervisory Committee and external experts to enhance the validity and operational effectiveness of the control system.
To prevent leakage of financial information and maintain fairness in disclosure, we designate the period from the day after each quarterly financial closing date to the day of the financial results announcement as a quiet period, during which we refrain from commenting on or answering questions about the financial results. However, if during this period there is a prospect of significant deviation from the already announced performance forecast, we will make appropriate announcements in accordance with the timely disclosure rules. Even during the quiet period, we will respond to questions limited to the company's management strategies that are not related to financial results.
Among the management plans, future outlook, strategies, etc. posted on our company website, those other than those related to past or present facts are forecasts regarding future performance, and these are based on judgments and assumptions based on information available at this time. Therefore, actual performance may differ from these results due to various risks, fluctuations in uncertain factors, economic conditions, etc.
Regardless of the nature of the information (quantitative or qualitative) or the method of disclosure (oral, written, or electronic), we will not disclose information regarding the performance of unpublished financial periods (quarterly or annual). Information that is exceptionally disclosed will be posted on our company website, and we will respond to questions within the scope of the disclosed information.
As an organization involved in healthcare, our company considers trust from medical facilities, healthcare professionals, and patients as our top priority, and establishes the following as our basic policy for handling information assets from the perspectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Our company will appropriately protect important information assets within the scope of application from all threats, whether intentional or accidental, and achieve our business objectives.
Our company recognizes the importance of information security and complies with laws and guidelines that we should follow, our articles of incorporation and work rules, and information security-related contracts concluded with customer medical facilities, patients, and external related organizations.
We recognize the appropriate protection of information assets as an important management issue and allocate necessary management resources.
We understand and comply with contracts agreed upon with customer medical facilities, patients, and external related organizations regarding information that should be protected, and if the content is insufficient for the purpose of each other's operations, we will make appropriate modifications and strive to build mutual trust relationships and achieve mutual prosperity.
We will establish an Information Security Liaison Committee and implement the establishment, introduction, operation, monitoring, maintenance, and improvement of information security across the entire company.
We will guide employees and related departments to follow appropriate standards and implementation procedures based on this policy.
We fully understand the importance of complying with this policy and appropriately protecting information assets, and put it into practice.
When an accident occurs or a vulnerability to a threat is discovered, we are responsible for promptly reporting it to the Information Systems Department, directly or indirectly, and will not engage in actions that increase risks to information assets that should be protected.
For information assets that should be protected, we anticipate threats to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and evaluate vulnerabilities to these threats. Based on this assessment, we will develop and implement control measures to protect and maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of each information asset.
Our company regularly conducts system audits by the internal audit department to confirm compliance with this policy.
If an employee acts contrary to this policy and causes damage to information assets, the employee who committed the act will be subject to disciplinary action and legal action.
We will review this policy periodically or when necessary. If changes to this policy occur, we will review related regulations, procedure manuals, etc.
If this policy is reviewed, we will confirm the validity of regulations based on this basic policy.
