The compliance of information protection and management is stipulated in the items of “Safe Management of Personal Information” and “Management of Confidential Information and Respect for Intellectual Property Rights” in the code of conduct of the Denka Group Ethics Policy. In addition, we have established and developed subordinate rules such as “Personal Information Protection Rules” and “Rules for Protection of Information related to Trade Secrets.”
The content of specific rules on the use of systems to be complied with by all officers and employees is updated annually and posted on the in-house electric bulletin board for a thorough understanding. Further, with respect to “third-party confidential information,” the Denka Group Ethics Policy stipulates thorough respect for intellectual property rights and appropriate management.
Structure of Information Management Rules
Regarding the management and operation of information systems, we have established two rules “Information System Management Guidelines” and “Information System Business Guidelines,” which are subordinate to the “Rules for Protection of Information related to Trade Secrets,” in order to operate the systems in a safe and efficient manner.
On the other hand, as far as the maintenance of electronic information is concerned, we have established a system wherein equipment used in the systems (servers, disk devices and other equipment) is deposited in two external safe data centers located in Kanto and Kansai regions, and even if one of the centers suffers a wide-area disaster (earthquake, tsunami, etc.), the systems will continue to operate on the other center.
Further, in addition to the strengthening of entry and exit management against cyber attacks that have become more sophisticated and malicious recently, we are making efforts to make immediate detection of entry of computer virus.
Structure of Information Management
With the expansion of free working styles, opportunities where employees use corporate information using various types of mobile devices have been increasing. In order to ensure thorough information management, we not only explain important points related to information management, but also teach rules that must be complied with in the company using easy-to-understand educational videos during group education of new employees. In addition, the content of relevant rules is explained to mid-career and veteran employees during specialized education related to the systems which is held every year in the head office, branches and plants for thorough understanding.
We ensure management transparency by disclosing corporate information in a timely and appropriate manner in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules stipulated by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In addition, we strive to actively disclose information which is determined to be useful for our stakeholders, even if the information is not required to be disclosed.Further, we take as many opportunities as possible, including financial results briefings, company briefings for individual investors, general shareholders' meeting and so on, in order to communicate with stakeholders and reflect received opinions in our management and business activities.
In addition, with regard to the timely disclosure information stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange that we publish, we prevent disclosed information from being stolen in advance through illegal access by a third party by starting the disclosure process on our website after confirming that the information has been published on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In addition to restricting the website administrator and the working environment, we install a protection system and have in place a response procedure if anything should happen.
