Governance
Organizational Structure and Governance Framework
To improve management efficiency and accelerate decision-making, ALEPH has adopted a Head Office system and operates a functional organization based on a clear division of roles among departments. At the same time, we flexibly form cross-departmental project teams to address important themes and complex issues that require a cross-organizational approach. Seamlessly integrating expertise from various fields allows us to resolve issues.
In order to establish a governance framework that ensures sound management and transparency, we have established the following committees and governance structure, through which we facilitate information sharing and deliberation.
- Management Decision-Making and Oversight: Board of Directors (once a month), Executive Officers’ Meeting (once a month)
- Business Execution and Review: Approval Review Committee (twice a month)
- Risk Management and Auditing: Internal Control System, Internal Audit System, Crisis Management Office
These systems work in tandem to enable us to go beyond simply conducting our regular business operations and to respond to sustainability challenges while managing risks. Moving forward, we will continue to strive to enhance our corporate value sustainably through flexible organizational management that allows us to adapt effectively to changing circumstances.
Compliance (Adherence to Laws and Regulations)
Internal Reporting System
We have established an external reporting channel to facilitate the early detection and correction of misconduct. Our reporting and consultation system, which includes this external channel, is designed and operated with careful consideration for maintaining the confidentiality of information that could identify the reporter, prohibiting adverse treatment of reporters and preventing attempts to identify them.
Regular Compliance Training
We regularly conduct compliance training and awareness programs for our employees.
Risk Management and Information Security
In order to proactively address the various risks associated with our business and safeguard public trust and safety, we are committed to maintaining and improving the following risk management and information security measures.
Effective Response to Key Risks

Crisis Management System
We have established an emergency response network centered on the Crisis Management Office to enable information gathering and decision-making in the event of an emergency.
Maintaining and Improving Information Security
In order to properly manage and protect our customers’ personal information and internal data, we have established an Information Security Management Manual, Information Security Management Regulations and other measures.
