Respect for human rights, Prohibition of discriminatory treatment
Basic Policy (Fundamental concept)
It is stipulated in the ISEKI Group Code of Ethical Behavior to “respect basic human rights and not engage in any act of discrimination or harassment on the grounds of nationality, race, creed, gender and disabilities.” The Code of Ethical Behavior is distributed to all employees. The Group instructs them to, among other things, “always respect human rights of others by periodically providing employees with education” and “pay extra attention to their speech and behavior so as not to commit acts that ignore others’ human rights, such as harassment.”
Harassment training and establishment of consultation system
In response to the enforcement of the so-called Anti-Power Harassment Law in June 2020, we provided harassment training to all officers and managers across ISEKI Group in June the same year. The Group has also set up a harassment help desk at each group company to put in place a system to provide consultation across the Group.
CSR procurement guidelines
ISEKI Group has compiled guidelines that outline the Group’s CSR concept and procurement policy in order to jointly promote, with its suppliers, procurement activities that take social responsibility into account, as well as to seek their support and cooperation. In 2021, ISEKI Group integrated CSR Procurement Guidelines and Green Supply Guidelines, and reviewed their contents, adding descriptions about conflict minerals and child labor. Together with the revision of guidelines, questionnaire surveys were integrated and planned to be regularly implemented around April or May every year.
