Compliance
Full Compliance
In recent years, there is a strong demand from both the market and society for companies to ensure compliance with laws and regulations and to voluntarily uphold high ethical standards. At HTB-BCD Travel, we strive to develop and strengthen our compliance system, working to ensure compliance and to foster a “corporate culture in pursuit of the high ethical standards”; one that is committed to sound and proper corporate activities, with the aim of becoming a company that is trusted by its customers.
Compliance Promotion System
In an effort to improve and strengthen our compliance system, we have in place compliance officers covering all domestic and overseas operational bases. The compliance status within the group is reported to the representative director and is audited on a regular basis.
Internal Reporting System
To help prevent illegal and/or inappropriate actions, and to quickly detect and rectify any problems, we have established an internal whistleblowing and consultation system. HTB-BCD Travel protects the personal information of whistleblowers, ensures confidentiality of reports, and prohibits any retaliatory actions against whistleblowers.
Tightening of Information Security
We understand the importance of proper storage and management of both customer information and internal information. To provide our customers with safe, reliable and secure service, we continue to strive to maintain the highest level of IT security through vigorous enforcement of internal regulations, and regular and appropriate employee education and training.
