We understand the purpose of the “Guidelines on Respecting Human Rights in Responsible Supply Chains” prepared by the government and the “Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct for the Textile and Clothing Industry of Japan” prepared by the Japan Textile Federation. In line with these guidelines, we declare that we will implement the following conducts to respect the human rights of rights holders which include foreign technical interns, with the cooperation of our direct and indirect business partners in the supply chain.

1.Commitment and Stakeholder Engagement

Based on a fact that companies have a responsibility to respect human rights, we will formulate a policy (commitment) regarding respecting human rights by top management, publicly declare it, and integrate it into our management system.In addition, based on our commitment, we will create an internal foundation for fulfilling our responsibility to respect human rights by promoting engagement with stakeholders including our employees. We will also promote engagement with our direct and indirect business partners in the supply chain of our products, to encourage them to take the same initiatives as we do.
 

2.Checking Human Rights Risks with Checklists

We will check human rights risks at our company and our direct and indirect business partners in the supply chain of our products by using the “Examples of Checkpoints and Measures for Addressing Risks when Discovered” in the separate volume of the “Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct for the Textile and Clothing Industry of Japan.”
 

3.Conducts to Prevent and Mitigate Risks

When we need to address the issues through checking human rights risks, we will prioritize them based on the severity of the risks and take necessary conducts to prevent and mitigate the highest priority risks first.
 

4.PDCA

We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our conducts to prevent and mitigate human rights risks to ensure their ongoing efficacy. When new human rights risks are identified through monitoring, we will take necessary steps to prevent and mitigate them.
