Human Rights Promotion System
The Human Rights Subcommittee, an internal organ of the Sustainability Committee, identifies human rights issues, examines policies for addressing them, designs mechanisms to promote responses, manages and supervises the implementation status, and issues instructions for corrective action regarding pending issues.
Of the matters discussed, decisions on important issues are made after deliberation by the Sustainability Committee.The Sustainability Committee also reports and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
Initiatives for Respect for Human Rights
・Establishment of an internal whistleblowing system
The Group has established internal rules for whistle-blowing and has set up internal (full-time corporate auditors independent of management and the Audit Office, the internal audit department) and external (the office of the lawyer in charge of whistle-blowing) whistle-blowing consultation services (including those provided anonymously).
In the event of an internal report, a team organized by the director in charge of general affairs conducts an investigation of the facts related to the reported matter and establishes a system to take corrective action and prevent recurrence. If, as a result of the factual investigation, a violation of laws, regulations, or internal rules is found, disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with internal rules or company procedures. Whistleblowers will be protected by prohibiting any disadvantageous treatment of whistleblowers because of their reporting to the contact point.
In addition, the Board of Directors checks the status of the whistle-blowing system and supervises its operation.
The Group is making the system known to all employees by introducing the whistle-blowing contact point and reporting methods on the Company's intranet and at internal training sessions.
