Dear Colleagues,
As I presented at SBF ExCom in April, Suntory Holdings established the Global Risk Management Committee (GRMC) in order to strengthen global risk management across all Suntory Group companies.
SBF, as a part of Suntory Group, will continue our efforts to improve the risk management system and to promote the implementation of various compliance and ethics programs in SBF group including our overseas group companies, in alignment with SHD GRMC. Anti-Bribery and Corruption Compliance is the highest priority for our group.
In connection with the above, please find the attached message from Mr. Takeshi Niinami, President & CEO of Suntory Holdings.

As a Chairman of SBF Risk Management Committee and a member of the SHD GRMC, I would like to ask you to take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to manage and respond to the compliance and ethics risks and challenges. SBF Kyobashi team will work together with each of you for implementation and promotion of our risk management system in these areas.
Mr. Niinami also says in his message that the prompt incident reporting is the key requirement for the effective group risk management. For SBF Group Companies, the incident reporting rules and manual issued by SBF Kyobashi shall apply. I herewith enclose the SBF Crisis Notification Rule with the latest list of your contact persons in Kyobashi.

Please share the top management message and the reporting rules with the relevant sections in your organization.
As always, I greatly appreciate the cooperation by each of you.
