corporate ethics
At Nikken Sekkei, we are committed to upholding corporate ethics that are relevant to the times, while continuing to uphold the spirit of the "Employee Code of Conduct" established during our founding period.
Commitment to compliance
At Nikken Group, compliance is defined as "each individual enhancing their expertise and acting with high ethical standards and responsibility in order to earn the trust and confidence of society, clients, and colleagues."
To ensure a healthy internal environment and smooth operation, we have established a "Compliance Liaison Committee" to regularly review the effectiveness of our policies and make improvements as needed.
In terms of specific awareness-raising activities, the Compliance Office plans and edits the "Compliance Handbook," and also plans and conducts training for officers and employees.

Establishment of an internal whistleblowing system
Nikken Sekkei has established a consultation and reporting service for compliance-related matters in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act. We have created a system that allows whistleblowers to communicate with a representative about their report while maintaining their anonymity.
Column: The Spirit of the "Staff Guidelines"
In 1933 (Showa 8), when the Hasebe & Takekoshi Architectural Office, the predecessor of Nikken Sekkei, was established, the "Employee Code of Conduct" was created, providing guidelines for the operation of the office.
The guidelines, which begin with "1. Those involved in architectural design and supervision should strive to cultivate their character and become truly worthy of public trust, both as engineers and as members of society," mention improving one's character, paying attention to one's health, continuously making fresh and accurate proposals with a view to the future, striving to improve design techniques, quality control of design and supervision, confidentiality of designs, and storage of original drawings.
