• Protection of Whistleblowers
  In principle, protection of whistleblowers is guaranteed. However, provision of informant's name and supporting documents would be mostly preferable.
  If unfair treatment or punishment on whistleblowers is acknowledged, remedial actions will be taken or equivalent compensation will be given.
  In case that breach of conduct reported is relevant to the whistleblower, it will be treated legitimately with mitigating circumstances.
  The number of investigators is limited.
  No personal information will be disclosed without the whistleblowers' consent. Moreover, any employee who acknowledge and reveal the information intentionally or accidently will be punished.
  
  However, reports including vicious slander or invading personal privacy will be excluded from the policy to protect whistleblowers.
