Process of identification and assessment of human rights risks

We identified potential human rights risks associated with the Group’s business activities and evaluated them from the standpoints of severity and our involvement. Based on these results, we will consider specific actions to reduce human rights risks that have been indicated as highly significant, and prioritize ways to address them.

1. Identifying the status of human rights in our business activities Identify the overall value chain process, and identify the human rights risks that may occur at each stakeholder.
2. Identifying and assessing human rights risks Directors and executive officers assess the “human right issues” and “specific matters of concern” for each stakeholder from the perspectives of severity and our involvement.
3. Risk mapping (risk assessment results) and subsequent initiatives The average assessment score for each human rights issue is plotted in the risk map, and priority is given to addressing human rights issues with high severity and a high level of Company involvement.
