The SATAKE Group has established a corporate governance framework designed to support sustainable growth and enhance corporate value. This framework promotes timely decision-making in response to changes in the business environment while ensuring sound, transparent, and responsible management.

Board of Directors

Establishes overall management policies and makes decisions on significant matters affecting the Group.

Executive Officers Committee

Communicates management policies and key decisions throughout the organization and reviews and evaluates the execution of responsibilities by executive officers.

Audit & Supervisory Board Members

Monitor and audit the directors’ execution of their duties.

The SATAKE Group has established a risk management framework to prepare for and respond to emergencies that could significantly affect our business, stakeholders, or society. These include major incidents and accidents, natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms and floods, serious information security incidents, and outbreaks of infectious diseases. Clear procedures are in place to ensure rapid reporting, decision-making, and response when an emergency occurs.

Emergency Response Process

1. Reporting and Information Sharing

When an emergency is identified, relevant information is promptly reported through the appropriate department head to the Crisis Management Committee Secretariat.

2. Rapid Decision-Making

The Committee Chair promptly determines whether to convene the Crisis Management Committee and, when necessary, establishes an emergency response headquarters at the head office.

3. Coordinated Response

Depending on the nature of the incident, the appropriate departments coordinate the response, including communications with the media and regulatory authorities, product recalls, legal matters, and other required actions.

4. Corrective Action and Prevention

After the immediate response has been completed, we analyze the root cause, document corrective actions, and evaluate their effectiveness. The findings are used to prevent recurrence and strengthen future risk management.

In addition to responding effectively when emergencies occur, we take proactive measures to identify and reduce potential risks before they develop into serious incidents.

Identifying and Assessing Risks

We continuously identify and assess potential risks across our business activities.

Crisis Management Procedures

We maintain a crisis management manual that defines responsibilities, procedures, and actions to be taken in the event of an emergency.

Education and Training

We regularly provide crisis management education and training to strengthen preparedness and enhance our organization's overall ability to respond effectively to emergencies.

The SATAKE Group is committed to protecting and appropriately managing information assets through a robust information security management system. By continually strengthening our information security practices, we seek to maintain the trust of our customers, business partners, and society.

View the Information Security Policy

The SATAKE Group operates an information security management system based on ISO/IEC 27001, the international standard for information security management. This system helps us protect information assets and maintain secure and reliable business operations.
Under the oversight of management, our Information Security Officer and responsible teams coordinate information security activities across the organization. Each department implements appropriate measures based on identified risks and risk assessments.
We continually strengthen our information security practices through internal audits, management reviews, employee education, and training designed to raise awareness and prevent security incidents.

Currently, SATAKE and one other Group companies in Japan have obtained ISO/IEC 27001 certification.

The SATAKE Group considers compliance and ethical business conduct fundamental to responsible management. We expect all officers and employees to act with integrity and sound judgment, complying not only with applicable laws and regulations but also with international standards, internal policies, corporate ethics, and accepted social norms.

To put these principles into practice, the SATAKE Group has established a compliance management structure led by the Compliance Committee, which is chaired by the Representative Director. Compliance officers and designated personnel within each organization support the implementation and promotion of compliance activities.

The SATAKE Group has established an internal reporting system to facilitate the early detection, investigation, and correction of suspected misconduct or compliance violations.

Who Can Use the System

The reporting system is available to directors, officers, employees, temporary and contract workers, secondees, freelancers, and others working on behalf of the SATAKE Group. Reports and consultations may be submitted through either an internal or external reporting channel, and anonymous reports are accepted by phone, email, or in writing.

Protection Against Retaliation

We strictly prohibit retaliation or any other unfavorable treatment against anyone who makes a report, seeks advice, or cooperates with an investigation in good faith.

Confidentiality

All personnel involved in receiving or investigating reports are required to maintain strict confidentiality in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Information that could identify a reporting individual or reveal the details of a report is disclosed only to those who need the information to appropriately address the matter, unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

Timely Response

In principle, individuals who submit a report or request consultation are notified within 20 days whether an investigation will be initiated. Where appropriate, we also provide timely information regarding investigation results and any corrective actions taken.
