Compliance System

In Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group, each group company has established a compliance system and endeavors to ensure compliance-oriented management by various means, such as the appointment of compliance personnel, the establishment of a compliance department, and the development and promotion of action plans to achieve compliance (compliance programs).
Specifically, the group has established the “Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group Code of Conduct” to serve as a standard of conduct for all of the officers and employees of Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group and the “Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group Compliance Manual” as a detailed manual for understanding the Code of Conduct and putting it to practice. We hold compliance training sessions on a regular basis for all officers and employees to raise their awareness of compliance.

Compliance Council

The “Compliance Council” has been set up to cover the entire group. The“Compliance Council” consists of the compliance personnel at Tokyu Fudosan Holdings and its subsidiaries. It develops and shares group-wide policies and goals to promote “Risk Management by means of Compliance-oriented Management”, and supports and monitors the efforts of each group company.

Efforts to Raise Compliance Awareness

Tokyu Fudosan Holdings and each group company hold seminars, training, and other educational sessions on a regular basis, with the aim of raising the compliance awareness of officers and regular employees, as well as the awareness of the contract employees and temporary employees.
