who has the right to view information depending on the
class of confi dentiality and the degree of importance.
Elsewhere, measures have been created to prevent leaks,
manipulation and destruction of proprietary information.
An information management system has been established
to protect all of Nikon’s information resources and to pro-
mote fair and effective business execution. Based on this
framework, we can enhance the preservation and control
of information by directors and employees.
We also have a management system to prevent loss.
Numerous regulations and manuals have been created in
diverse fi elds, including corporate ethics, personal infor-
mation protection, environmental management, quality
control, export control and accident prevention. The Risk
Management Committee formulates risk management
policies that incorporate business continuity plans and
internal controls in these fi elds. This organ conducts
education and training on risk management and super-
vises associated activities.
To permeate and entrench awareness of corporate eth-
ics, Nikon has appointed a coordinator in each division
and Group company. Action plans have already been
drafted and educational activities implemented.
Nikon overhauled the structure of the Management
Committee engaged in deliberating and reporting on
business matters and recreated regulations related to the
delegation of authority in divisions in order to further
enhance the Group’s internal controls.
An internal audit department was established in
October 2005 with the primary objectives of creating
and monitoring the operation of Nikon Group internal
controls, and making recommendations for improve-
ment, and of identifying risks in Nikon Group business
and proposing appropriate response mechanisms.
A CSR Committee was set up in January 2006 to
formulate action plans and conduct education to boost
CSR awareness and to affi rm results of CSR activities.
Guidelines on classifying confi dential information were
instituted in February 2006 to specify the different types
of restricted data. Nikon continues striving to increase the
effectiveness of its information management.
The Risk Management Committee was created in
April 2006 to formulate risk management policies that
incorporate business continuity plans and internal con-
trols in numerous fi elds, including corporate ethics, envi-
ronmental management, quality control, export control
and accident prevention. This body also conducts educa-
tion and training on risk management and supervises
associated activities.
Aimed at increasing the transparency of operating
information, Nikon aggressively promotes IR activities for
investors and shareholders. Besides seeking to further
improve the speed and accuracy of information disclo-
sure, we hold fi nancial results meetings twice yearly and
constantly upgrade our website.
