At Daiwa Securities Group, we are continuously persisting in activities to eradicate anti-social forces from society based on our recognition of the large role that financial institutions play in this area. We also collaborate with the police and lawyers to eliminate any relations with such forces. We have implemented a structure that prevents any relationship with anti-social forces from commencing by collecting a variety of information related to them and closely checking such information when accounts are to be opened. We also constantly accumulate new information and regularly check existing accounts in an effort to tighten the management of ongoing transactions. All Group executives and employees, including personnel serving customers at sales branches, regularly undergo training to constantly stay alert.
