JAC Group regards compliance as the foundation of trust with our clients and candidates, and we have established the dedicated Compliance Division to ensure proper compliance.

We have also established internal rules concerning various issues. Violations of laws and regulations pose the risk of serious hindrance to business continuity, including administrative warnings, cancellation of business licences and/or permits, and large compensation for damages. Accordingly, we have taken the following measures to ensure thorough compliance with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, the Employment Security Act, and labour-related laws and regulations, which could have a major impact on our business in the event of legal violations.

Main Compliance-related Regulations

Code of Ethics, regulations on internal reporting, regulations on dealing with anti-social forces, regulations on the protection and management of personal information, regulations on the management of recruitment services, regulations on the management of insider trading

Personal Information Protection Initiatives

As part of its recruitment consultancy and job advertising businesses, the Group holds a significant volume of personal information relating to registered users, including job seekers and applicants for employment opportunities.
To ensure the appropriate management of such information, we established a management framework based on JIS Q 15001 Personal Information Protection Management Systems – Requirements in 2006 and obtained PrivacyMark certification. Since then, we have maintained and renewed the certification through biennial assessments.
Specifically, we have established a Personal Information Protection Policy (Privacy Statement) and implemented internal regulations governing the protection and management of personal information. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory for all officers and employees. We have also appointed the head of the compliance function as the Personal Information Protection Manager, and the Compliance Division provides regular education and training programmes to all officers and employees. In addition, annual internal audits are conducted to verify the effectiveness of our Personal Information Protection Management System.
We also disclose a Privacy Policy that explains in detail how we collect, use and manage personal information, ensuring transparency for our stakeholders.
