The Shin-Etsu Polymer Group has established a "Suppliers Hotline" as a point of contact for business partners to report violations of laws, regulations or rules by directors, officers or employees of each Group company.
The purpose of the Hotline is to ensure transparency and fairness in transactions between the Shin-Etsu Polymer Group and its business partners, and to maintain and develop business relationships.

 

●Reception details

• If you become aware of any conduct (or suspected conduct) by a director, officer or employee of any Group company that is in violation of laws, regulations or rules, please fill out the form with specific information and submit it to the "Suppliers Hotline."
• However, please refrain from providing information for the purpose of gaining benefits falsely or fraudulently, for the purpose of causing damage by slandering others, or for any other improper purpose.

●Response to reports

(We ask business partners to similarly take care not to treat the whistleblower disadvantageously because of the report.) However, in the case of fraudulent reporting, etc., or if the reporting customer is involved in a violation, protection may not be provided.
