Initiatives on Human Rights
Basic Principles Regarding Human Rights
In May 2024, our company and group companies resolved and established the “Human Rights Policy” at the Board of Directors meeting. This policy is aligned with the United Nations “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights” and demonstrates our commitment, as a globally operating group, to embedding respect for human rights into our corporate culture and promoting human rights–oriented business practices across all our activities. Based on this policy, we will comply with international norms and the laws of each country, establish a group- wide human rights management framework, conduct human rights due diligence, and provide appropriate training to directors and all employees on a continuous basis.
Initiatives on Human Rights
１） Human Rights Due Diligence
We are working to establish a human rights due diligence framework. Our efforts focus on identifying the potential impacts of our business activities on human rights and developing mechanisms to prevent and mitigate such impacts. Going forward, we will assess and identify human rights risks, implement corrective measures as necessary, and continue these initiatives on an ongoing basis. In addition, we will regularly disclose information on our progress and outcomes.
２） Human Rights Education and Awareness Raising
For Executives
In FY2024, we invited external experts to deliver a lecture on the objectives and practical methods of human rights due diligence to all executives,
including the President and CEO. This session provided an opportunity for management to reaffirm our current status and deepen their understanding
of the initiatives we need to undertake going forward.
For Employees
Starting in FY2025, we launched a basic human rights training program for all employees. The program aims to deepen understanding of the
importance of respecting human rights in corporate activities and to foster the ability to proactively consider how their own work may impact human
rights.
３） Establishment of Consultation Desk
We have established a consultation desk covering all areas of compliance, including human rights, and introduced a whistleblowing system to ensure early detection and resolution of any misconduct. Employees may report concerns through multiple channels: to compliance officers in each department, directly to the President or the Internal Audit Office via a dedicated website accessible from PCs and smartphones, or to an external channel through our legal counsel. Anonymous reporting is accepted, and our internal regulations explicitly stipulate protection for whistleblowers to ensure that no disadvantage is incurred under any circumstances.
４） Deployment to Suppliers (Supply Chain)
As part of our commitment to respecting human rights, we have established the “Supplier CSR Guidelines” and rolled them out to our major domestic suppliers. At the same time, we request each supplier to comply with these guidelines. We also regularly monitor the status of compliance and, based on the results, continuously take necessary actions.

Green Procurement Policy
Our company positions “the protection of the global environment and contributing to a prosperous and bright society” as a key management priority. With this in mind, we are actively promoting environmental initiatives aimed at the development and production of environmentally friendly green products.
To meet society’s growing demand for products with reduced environmental impact, it is essential to utilize environmentally conscious parts and materials. Achieving this goal cannot be accomplished by our company alone; the cooperation of our suppliers is indispensable. We therefore place great importance on building strong partnerships with our suppliers and promoting green procurement together.
■Purpose of Green Procurement
The purpose of our Green Procurement initiative is to promote environmentally conscious manufacturing by procuring materials with minimal environmental impact. Through partnerships with suppliers who are actively engaged in environmental conservation activities, we aim to contribute to the development of a sustainable society.
■Scope of Green Procurement
This policy applies to materials (raw and auxiliary), as well as parts (purchased and subcontracted) procured for our production activities.
■Objectives of Green Procurement
In order to minimize the environmental impact throughout the entire product life cycle—covering all business activities from product development, design, materials and parts procurement, manufacturing, transportation, and use—we recognize the necessity of “Green Procurement.” This means not only promoting environmentally friendly production activities and developing products with lower environmental impact during use and disposal, but also procuring materials and parts with minimal environmental burden.
Developing a Green Procurement System to Promote the SDGs
As part of our Social and Environmental Vision 2030, we carry out environmental awareness activities for our suppliers to support SDGs initiatives—including COVID-19 measures—and to build a sustainable risk reduction framework together. Key initiatives include:
- Revision of the Green Procurement Guidelines, explanation of changes, and publication of e-learning materials on our website.
- Preparation and publication of annual environmental law self-check sheets.
- Provision of original texts and e-learning materials to assist suppliers in completing the self-check sheets.
- Revision of Environmental Substance Management Standards and publication of related e-learning materials.
- Submission of supplier surveys on environmentally regulated substances.
- Submission of supplier self-inspection check sheets for compliance with environmental laws.
- Evaluation of suppliers and selection of audit targets for the following fiscal year:
- a. Suppliers with third-party certification: selected based on reports, regulated substances, and past nonconformities.
- b. Tirado-certified suppliers: annual submission of manuals/documents and formal review every four years.
- c. Other suppliers: audited annually.
- Remote audits and corrective actions, including preparation of documents for remote auditing.
