## Compliance Training 

In addition to continuing to enhance compliance globally through enhanced policies, controls and organizational structure, we are expanding compliance training in each region to help maintain a compliance-oriented mindset in our employees. 

In fiscal 2013, we conducted training for employees in every region in a number of ways including, according to necessity and priority, in-person and online training. The training themes included anti-bribery and anti-corruption, national transparency laws and guidelines, the Astellas Global Code of Conduct, national pharmaceutical associa- tion codes, conflicts of interest, preventing fraud and abuse, anti-harassment, pharmacovigilance, and increasing compli- ance awareness overall. In Japan, each division determined its own key compliance risks and conducted training. In fiscal 2014, we plan to add new training themes, including responsible use of social media, protection of personal information, and continuing to encourage use of helplines. We will carry out appropriate training at both global and local levels.

## Compliance Helpline 

We have compliance helplines (hotlines) in each region. By making use of these helplines, employees can report and receive advice on how to respond to and report actual or suspected misconduct. In many countries, external and internal helplines have also been put in place. Employees in each region are directed to and provided with guidance and training on how to use the helplines. In Japan, a separate sexual harassment helpline is also available. 

Helplines are available in employees’ native languages. Astellas fosters an environment that encourages employees to use the compliance helplines and has stipulated a regula- tion of non-retaliation against those who raise a concern or report a suspected compliance breach truthfully and in good faith, even if the concern or report is not substantiated. 

In fiscal 2014, our helplines received reports and consul- tation requests in each region. Matters raised include conflicts of interest, power harassment, sexual harassment and the promotion code. In response, we conducted thorough investigations and took appropriate actions in accordance with local requirements and processes.
