Stakeholder Dialogues

Establishment of the Human Rights Policy

In September and October 2017, we explained the process of creating our human rights issue map and presented our draft human rights policy to human rights experts and various stakeholders, including UNEP FI, Shift (a U.S.-based non-profit organization focusing on business and human rights), and other companies and investors. We requested feedback via conference calls or written responses, focusing on the following points.

Their feedback focused on:

  1. Content of the draft Human Rights Policy;
  2. Salient human rights issues; and
    Stakeholders' expectations regarding implementation of the Human Rights Policy.

 

Revisions to the Human Rights Policy

When we revised the human rights policy in May 2022, external experts on human rights provided recommendations and reviewed the draft revisions to the human rights policy and the proposed measures to strengthen our human rights efforts. Additionally, the Sustainability Promotion Committee held a meeting on the topic of respect for human rights in June 2022, at which an external expert on human rights presented recommendations.
