China Bank and freee Jointly Announce "Zero Legal Compliance Worries Initiative"

China Bank, led by President Sadakazu Kato, has partnered with freee Co., Ltd., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo under CEO Daisuke Sasaki, to declare the "Zero Legal Compliance Worries Initiative." The objective of this initiative is to eliminate the psychological and practical burden associated with legal compliance for local businesses.

Background

Legal reforms are essential for addressing societal issues and advancing toward a better community. However, the reality for many partner businesses is that the constant flow of legal changes imposes significant operational burdens. The aim is to create an environment where these companies can move beyond merely managing compliance and focus on proactive challenges.

Emphasizing Zero Legal Worries through Three Key Habits

In order to transform legal reforms from a cumbersome special task into a daily positive routine, freee has introduced three key content offerings, provided on monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles, to support partner companies that work with China Bank:

1. Monthly Legal Compliance Guide

• - A free online service provided by freee.
• - Updated monthly to ensure companies stay informed about the latest legal changes that require their attention.

2. Quarterly Latest Legal Compliance Summit

• - A free online event held every quarter.
• - Experts including government officials and professionals like labor and tax consultants will explain the latest legal compliance topics.

3. Annual Legal Compliance Calendar

• - A tabletop calendar featuring important dates related to legal reforms and helpful information, essential for management department personnel.
