respect for human rights

To ensure that all people can live vibrant lives, the Itoki Group will implement human rights due diligence based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and will work to respect human rights in all of its business activities and throughout its supply chain.

In 2018, we established the Itoki Group Human Rights Policy as follows. Since then, we have continued to review our work regulations and make improvements in line with the human rights policy.

1. Respect for human rights2. Prohibition of discrimination3. Prohibition of harassment4. Respect for basic employee rights5. Consideration for safety and security6. Prohibition of forced labor and child labor7. Promotion of education

As a result of a human rights risk assessment conducted in 2023, three high-risk areas were identified: "occupational health and safety," "human rights issues in the supply chain," and "harassment and discrimination." As these could have a negative impact on corporate value in the medium to long term, such as employee turnover and brand damage, we are working to prevent and mitigate such risks in cooperation with the company-wide risk management department. Going forward, we will continue to monitor the situation and review our human rights risk assessment at appropriate times to strengthen our human rights due diligence.
