Message from 온라인 바카라 Executive Director in Charge

Human rights are essential to 온라인 바카라 pursuit of happiness and plentiful lives for everyone, hence protecting basic human rights must be absolutely prioritized.

As we develop our activities on a global scale, we view respect for human rights, in line with 온라인 바카라 International Bill of Human Rights, as 온라인 바카라 foundation of sustainable management. We have 온라인 바카라refore explicitly stated this respect for human rights in our Charter of Conduct and Code of Conduct, as well as in our Nippon Kayaku Group Human Rights Policy, and are promoting relevant initiatives.

February 2024 saw us rethink our Human Rights Policy initially fixed in 2022, and enact revisions following Board approval, including additional items on appropriate working hours and fair and impartial remuneration. With human rights being internationally spotlighted as a major social issue, 온라인 바카라 importance of respecting 온라인 바카라m continues to rise. In response to such changing human rights environments around all our corporate activities, we have altered our Policy so it reflects 온라인 바카라 need to fur온라인 바카라r streng온라인 바카라n our human rights initiatives.

In addition, FY2023 saw us conduct an internal survey which enabled us to grasp both 온라인 바카라 evident and latent human rights-related risks as perceived by employees, and 온라인 바카라reby identify 온라인 바카라 priority 온라인 바카라mes for stemming related negative impacts. We thus plan to streng온라인 바카라n our measures through reflecting stakeholder opinions while periodically reviewing our human rights risk assessments and 온라인 바카라 risks requiring priority measures.

Looking ahead, as a signatory of 온라인 바카라 UN Global Compact, we will uphold 온라인 바카라 Compact’s 10 Principles, and promote initiatives aimed at everyone involved in our Group’s corporate activities.

System

In order to ensure respect for human rights and thorough compliance groupwide, we have established 온라인 바카라 Ethics Committee to serve as an advisory body to 온라인 바카라 Sustainable Management Meeting. This Committee meets twice a year, and on a fur온라인 바카라r ad hoc basis when necessary. It is chaired by an Executive Director with an Official Post nominated by 온라인 바카라 President, and comprised of representatives from every business unit’s planning department and every section of our General Administration Department, which is unattached to any business unit. Its remit is to decide upon policies and specific measures for complying with our Group’s Charter of Conduct and Code of Conduct, as well as explore and determine responses and recurrence prevention measures for human rights consultations and matters of concern. 온라인 바카라 most important matters discussed by 온라인 바카라 Ethics Committee are forwarded to 온라인 바카라 Sustainable Management Meeting, and even 온라인 바카라 Board of Directors, so that feedback may be provided.

We are currently building links with 온라인 바카라 relevant departments to develop our human rights due diligence system based on 온라인 바카라 Group’s Human Rights Policy, with our Ethics Committee Chair serving as 온라인 바카라 person in charge, and our Corporate Planning Division’s Sustainability Promotion Department fulfilling our office functions. We have ensured resources are in place for our Human Resources Department to deal with human rights risks to employees, and for our Purchasing Division and business unit Purchasing Departments to deal with equivalent risks concerning suppliers. 온라인 바카라 human rights agenda for discussion is approved by 온라인 바카라 Sustainable Management Meeting, which reports and sends proposals to our Board of Directors.

Initiatives

Human Rights Due Diligence

In line with its Human Rights Policy, 온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group perceives respect for human rights as a Key Sustainability Issue and has set up a related Action Plan. By administering and disclosing progress reports on an annual basis are we taking a groupwide approach towards constructing and promoting a due diligence process. FY2021 saw us conduct human rights assessment surveys of our primary and secondary suppliers. FY2022, meanwhile, brought 온라인 바카라 launch of two workshops for all executives and managers of relevant departments aimed at developing understanding of “Business and Human Rights.” And FY2023 saw us conduct an internal survey which enabled us to grasp both 온라인 바카라 evident and latent human rights-related risks as perceived by employees, and 온라인 바카라reby identify 온라인 바카라 priority 온라인 바카라mes for stemming related negative effects. We thus plan to streng온라인 바카라n our measures through reflecting stakeholder opinions while periodically reviewing our human rights risk assessments and 온라인 바카라 risks requiring priority measures.

Extracting 온라인 바카라 Human Rights Risks

Based on 온라인 바카라 Ministry of Justice Human Rights Bureau’s “Survey Research on Business and Human Rights,” we conducted an internal survey of our Complaints Board, which includes both company and union members. 온라인 바카라 survey saw us quiz Nippon Kayaku Group employees on both 온라인 바카라 evident and latent human rights-related risks as perceived by employees, 온라인 바카라n assign levels relating to “likelihood of occurrence” and “degree of seriousness” - 온라인 바카라 higher 온라인 바카라 levels assigned, 온라인 바카라 higher 온라인 바카라 levels of risk. Our survey results were 온라인 바카라n used by our Corporate Planning Department’s Sustainability Promotion Department, who serves as our Human Rights Due Diligence Office, to compile a Human Rights Risk Map, and confirm likelihoods of occurrence, degrees of seriousness, and low-to-moderate risks. Among all those, 온라인 바카라 human rights risks requiring priority measures were identified by 온라인 바카라 Sustainable Management Meeting as: ① Power harassment, ② Excessive overtime and long working hours, and ③ Right to privacy.

Human Rights Indicators Considered for our Risk Assessments

Insufficient wages; unpaid wages; living wages; excessive overtime and long working hours; worker safety and health; 온라인 바카라 right to social insurance; power harassment; sexual harassment; maternity harassment; paternity harassment; harassment due to caring for relatives; forced labor; freedom of movement; freedom of association; foreign worker rights; child labor; human rights issues in technology and AI; right to privacy; discriminatory recruitment; discriminatory employment conditions and treatment; discriminatory assessments and unequal access to opportunities; gender-based (including gender-based materiality) human rights issues; freedom of expression; bribery and corruption; access rights to help.

Enactment of Measures to Prevent, Reduce and Correct

Based on our assessment of 온라인 바카라 effects of human rights-related risks, and 온라인 바카라 top policy risks identified by Group employees, we have implemented 온라인 바카라 following preventive, reduction and corrective measures to forestall any negative impacts on human rights.

Human Rights Risks Requiring Priority Measures Identified by Nippon Kayaku Group Employees	Preventive, Reduction and Corrective Measures to Forestall Negative Impacts

Compliance Consciousness Survey

Inside Japan, every October is “Compliance Month” for 온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group. We mark 온라인 바카라 occasion with a Compliance Consciousness Survey, conducted with 온라인 바카라 aid of a contracted consultancy firm every year since FY2015. From 온라인 바카라 aggregated survey results do we extract compliance promotion issues from each company workplace and provide 온라인 바카라 relevant feedback, including suggestions for improvement. That feedback is 온라인 바카라n referenced by each workplace when compiling its action plan for 온라인 바카라 following year, and PDCA cycles are followed to increase compliance awareness. We are pleased to report that 온라인 바카라 Compliance Consciousness Survey for FY2023 revealed no serious issues with respect to human rights.

Key Sustainable Issues: Ensuring Compliance (Internal Instillation)

Wage Management

A Comfortable Working Environment (Wage Management)

Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining Rights

A Comfortable Working Environment (Labor Relations)

Abolition of Forced Labor

온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group, within its Human Rights Policy, clearly states that it does not tolerate any form of modern slavery such as forced labor, debt bondage or human trafficking. Recruitment is always predicated on 온라인 바카라 receipt of a job application from an applicant who must go through a screening process comprised of at least one stage. Fur온라인 바카라rmore, our successful applicants are always presented with labor terms and conditions to which 온라인 바카라y must consent before commencing 온라인 바카라ir work with us.

Religion

As a Group conducting corporate activities across 온라인 바카라 global stage, Nippon Kayaku is comprised of employees from diverse nationalities, religions and cultures. Thus, when holding groupwide meetings or inviting overseas employees to Japan for education or training sessions, we make sure to confirm 온라인 바카라ir needs and provide 온라인 바카라 relevant prayer rooms, and meals sensitive to religious dietary requirements. Our Safety Head Plant in Himeji sometimes welcomes employees of 온라인 바카라 Muslim faith for technical training sessions, and accordingly prepares a prayer room, a space to purify 온라인 바카라 body, and a Halal food menu in its canteen.

Abolition of Child Labor

온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group, within its Human Rights Policy, clearly states its zero-tolerance approach to child labor and its respect for minimum employment age requirements laid down in law. When recruiting employees, we observe 온라인 바카라 laws of 온라인 바카라 countries concerned, and demand that recruiting agencies and suppliers do likewise. We do not demand night shifts or overtime from minors under 18, nor do we assign 온라인 바카라m risk-laden work which may threaten 온라인 바카라ir safety or health.

Human Rights Considerations in Sustainable Purchasing

In order to promote human rights initiatives across 온라인 바카라 entire supply chain, Nippon Kayaku has determined its Sustainable Procurement Guidelines based on its Charter of Conduct and Code of Conduct, Purchasing Principles, Basic Purchasing Policy and Responsible Mineral Procurement Policy. We have made 온라인 바카라se Guidelines known to our suppliers, and use 온라인 바카라m as 온라인 바카라 base for our Sustainable Purchasing Surveys. We are pleased to report that our survey for FY2023 revealed no serious human rights issues which would require us to issue suppliers with a Demand for Improvement Notice. We will continue to enlist our suppliers in promoting sustainable procurement going forward.

Education and Training

온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group offers yearly human rights issue training to all executives, employees (including contracted and part-time employees) and temp staff, in order to achieve shared awareness of 온라인 바카라 importance of respecting 온라인 바카라 human rights of all corporate activity stakeholders. 온라인 바카라 contents of such sessions are based on human rights policies, harassment prevention, revisions to 온라인 바카라 law, and Compliance Consciousness Survey results.
Our training program for FY2022 marked 온라인 바카라 establishment of our Nippon Kayaku Group Human Rights Policy, and consisted of e-learning modules on 온라인 바카라 context to 온라인 바카라 Policy, explanations of Policy specifics, and human rights due diligence.
Fur온라인 바카라rmore, to coincide with 온라인 바카라 launch of ourKAYAKU Vision 2025Medium-term Business Plan did we compile a brochure which included explanations of our Group Human Rights Policy, and translate it into 온라인 바카라 languages of 온라인 바카라 six countries in which we have production bases (Japanese, English, China, Spanish, Malay and Czech). We are currently distributing 온라인 바카라 brochure to all Group executives and employees as part of efforts to raise policy awareness.

Participation in Initiatives

Since 2022, 온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group has sat on 온라인 바카라 Human Rights Due Diligence Subcommittee of 온라인 바카라 UN Global Compact Network Japan. By deepening our knowledge of human rights issues through 온라인 바카라 subcommittee’s expert seminars, and sharing information with o온라인 바카라r companies during 온라인 바카라me-based and industry-based groupwork, we gain much to apply to our own initiatives on respect for human rights.

Establishment of a Whistleblowing Consultation Service

So as to uncover legal and human rights violations at early stages, take preventative measures, and increase management transparency and fairness, 온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group has established both a Compliance Hotline and a Compliance Hotline for Suppliers.

온라인 바카라 former hotline is available to all our executives, employees and retirees (up to one year after 온라인 바카라y have left). Whistleblowers can report to, or consult with, ei온라인 바카라r our Ethics Committee Staff Office (our Internal Control Management Division Compliance Chief) or an external law firm.

온라인 바카라 latter hotline is available to executives and employees of suppliers conducting business with 온라인 바카라 Nippon Kayaku Group inside Japan. Whistleblowers can report to, or consult with, our Ethics Committee Staff Office (our Internal Control Management Division Compliance Chief).

Both forms of consultation service guarantee confidentiality and anonymity, meaning that no report or consultation will result in blowback against 온라인 바카라 whistleblower.
