To our clients
SII Helpline and Consultation Service
We have established the SII Helpline and the Consultation Service aiming at early detection and correction of alleged breaches of any legal or regulatory obligations, or unethical behavior caused by our employees. Although these two services were once available only for our employees, since August 2007 the SII Helpline and the Consultation Service have become available for our clients from the viewpoint that such expansion of the availability of these services would contribute to promoting good, fair and healthy business relationships between SII and our clients.In addition, the SII Helpline and the Consultation Service are available to anyone who notice the misconduct committed by our employees in our research activities or collaborative research.
