Governance

Compliance with laws and regulations, respect for human rights, business activities based on high ethical standards, and ensuring cybersecurity serve as a crucial foundation that supports Sysmex’s sustainable growth. 
Misconduct, human rights violations, information leaks, and other incidents may erode trust and affect business continuity, posing risks that could impair corporate value.
Meanwhile, high ethical standards, highly transparent management, and the strengthening of information security and privacy protection create opportunities to enhance corporate value by increasing trust and strengthening our competitive advantage.
In terms of social impact, through ethical business practices and responsible tax practices, we contribute to the sound development of markets and the sustainable development of society. In addition, by ensuring product and service security alongside information protection, we help ensure safety and security in medical settings.

At Sysmex, we position compliance with laws and regulations, respect for human rights, business activities based on high ethical standards, and ensuring cybersecurity as a crucial management foundation. We thoroughly enforce compliance and respect for human rights across all business activities and our supply chain while strengthening our response to cyber risks under a global information security management framework. Through these initiatives, we aim to enhance trust among our stakeholders and sustainably increase corporate value.

To reinforce the audit and supervisory functions of the Board of Directors and to further enhance the transparency and objectivity of management, Sysmex has adopted the structure of a Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. To accelerate decision-making in business execution and respond promptly to changes in the business environment, we have also introduced an executive officer system.
We have established the Compliance Committee and the Internal Control Committee to manage key risks, including those related to respect for human rights, information security, and privacy protection, under a company-wide risk management framework.

To ensure compliance with laws and regulations, respect for human rights, business activities based on high ethical standards, and cybersecurity, we set relevant indicators and targets and continuously monitor our progress. Through these indicators, we work to reduce business risks and enhance trust, thereby contributing to the sustainable enhancement of corporate value.
