Sustainability Human Rights Policy

Basic Approach to Human Rights

The FUJITSU GENERAL Way, which represents the common values of the Fujitsu General Group, states "We respect human rights" in the opening line of the Code of Conduct.

This statement articulates the company’s commitment to upholding human rights in all of its activities and fostering a diverse and inclusive environment.

We are committed to ensuring that all Group officers, executives and employees embody and demonstrate this spirit in their actions. We believe that it is important to properly understand and recognize human rights issues, to cultivate a spirit of respect and uphold a true understanding of human rights. We act in a way that does not tolerate discrimination or other human rights violations. Our Group is founded on the principle that every employee must respect and protect human rights.

We are committed to human rights-orientated management, actively promoting and upholding the following international principles and standards, which are based on the “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights”:

  • 「International Bill of Human Rights」
  • 「ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work」
  • 「OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises」
  • 「United Nations Global Compact」
  • 「Convention on the Rights of the Child」
  • 「Children's Rights and Business Principles」

Promotion of Human Rights

The Group is committed to upholding human rights globally through a collaborative system involving management and local operations. The “Human Rights Promotion Committee”, led by the President and CEO, the CHRO (Chief Human Resource Officer) responsible for human rights, and other relevant executives, will drive initiatives related to human rights. The Human Rights Promotion Committee operates under the supervision and oversight of the Board of Directors.

Scope of Application

This policy applies to all officers, executives and employees of the Group. In addition, we will work with all business partners related to the Group's products and services to respect human rights and not infringe them.

Implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence

The Group is committed to identifying, preventing, and mitigating negative human rights impacts. We will implement human rights due diligence to assess and prevent risks of human rights violations within our own operations and throughout our supply chain.

If the Group's business activities are found to have caused or contributed to human rights violations, or if indirect negative impacts through business relationships are suspected or become evident, we will take corrective and remedial measures. These measures will be implemented through dialogue and appropriate procedures to prevent and mitigate potential violations, even if the negative impacts are not yet fully clear.

Dialogue / Consultation

We commit to engaging in dialogue and consulting with relevant stakeholders regarding our responses to both potential and actual human rights impacts.

Education / Enlightenment

We are committed to the effective implementation of this policy across all our business activities. To achieve this, we will provide appropriate education and training to our officers, executives, and employees.

Furthermore, we will actively work to promote understanding of this policy among our business partners, including suppliers and sales agents.

Information Disclosure

We will appropriately disclose the progress and results of our human rights efforts on our website. This will be done with careful consideration for the impact on stakeholders and the confidentiality of business information.

Our Commitment to Human Rights

We recognize our responsibility to uphold human rights and address key issues through appropriate procedures. Our core commitments include:

Prohibiting Forced Labor, Child Labor, and Human Trafficking
We strictly prohibit and do not engage in, profit from, or participate in any form of forced labor, child labor, or human trafficking across all our global business activities.
Combating Discrimination and Harassment
We respect the inherent human rights of every individual. We prohibit unfair discrimination, harassment, and any acts that violate human rights, including those based on race, age, nationality, skin color, religion, beliefs, gender, social status, family origin, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Upholding Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining
We respect our employees' fundamental rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
Providing a Safe, Hygienic, and Healthy Working Environment
We are dedicated to providing a working environment where our employees can work safely, hygienically, and healthily.
Ensuring Appropriate Working Hours and Wages
We manage employee working hours, holidays, leave, and wages in strict accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Remediation

Our group is committed to providing effective channels for stakeholders, including domestic and international business partners and members of our supply chain, to raise human rights concerns. We ensure access to remedies and implement appropriate remedial measures. We protect the personal information of those who report or cooperate in investigations and prohibit any adverse treatment, threats, or retaliation against them or their employers.

Should our group be found to have caused, contributed to, or be indirectly involved in negative human rights impacts through business relationships, we will take appropriate and effective remedial actions to address and correct such issues.
