Tanseisha Group Human Rights Policy

1. Compliance with international standards and laws related to human rights
   We will conduct business activities based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and will support and respect international norms regarding human rights, such as the International Bill of Human Rights, the International Labor Organization's (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, Children's Rights and Business Principles, and the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, while also complying with applicable laws and regulations in the countries and regions in which we conduct business.
   Furthermore, when we are faced with a conflict between internationally recognized human rights standards and local laws, we will adhere to the higher standard and seek ways to respect international human rights standards.

   This policy applies to all directors and employees of the Tanseisha Group (including seconded and temporary employees).
   We also expect our business partners, including cooperating companies, and everyone involved in our business activities to understand, support, observe, and practice respect for human rights and diversity in accordance with this policy, and we aim to work together with them on this initiative.
3. Priority themes for respecting human rights
   1. Prohibition of discrimination and harassment
      In order to respect human rights and diversity, we will not tolerate any discrimination, harassment or unfair treatment on the grounds of nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, ideology, sex, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, employment status or any other reason.
   2. Prohibition of child labor and forced labor
      We will not engage in any form of child labor, forced labor, or human trafficking, nor will we engage in any human rights violations against foreign workers, etc.
   3. Respect for fundamental labor rights

In addition, we maintain and promote healthy and favorable labor-management relations through dialogue and discussion with employees or their representatives.
   4. Appropriate payment of wages and management of working hours
      In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, we will comply with the legal minimum wage and strive to pay a living wage or higher. We will also prevent long working hours and manage working hours appropriately.
   5. Ensuring a safe working environment
      We will consider the mental and physical health and safety of our employees, strive to create a comfortable and rewarding working environment, and ensure occupational safety and health.
   6. Support for achieving work-life balance
      We understand the importance of work-life balance for each employee, and we will promote initiatives that allow employees to choose from a variety of work styles to achieve both productivity and improved well-being.
   7. Promoting Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I)
      We will work to create a workplace and climate that respects different cultures, customs, and values, and strive to improve diversity so that each employee can grow and play an active role regardless of race, nationality, gender, etc. In addition, we will respect the human rights of vulnerable people who are easily alienated from society or whose human rights are violated, such as people with disabilities, foreign workers, and sexual minorities (LGBTQ, etc.), and work to support and provide relief for such people's independence.
   8. Respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities
      We will respect the rights and cultures of indigenous peoples and local residents as stipulated in the laws and international agreements of the countries and regions in which we conduct our business.

      We will comply with relevant laws, regulations and other standards when handling personal information, and will work to protect the personal information and respect the privacy of all people involved in our business activities.
4. Governance and Promotion Structure for Human Rights
   Human rights initiatives are promoted mainly by the Sustainability Promotion Division, Human Resources and Labor Relations Division, and Supply Chain Management Division. The Sustainability Committee, chaired by President and Chief Executive Officer, is positioned within the governance structure. After regular discussion and deliberation, important matters are discussed and decided by the Executive Committee and reported to the Director meeting, thereby strengthening governance and reducing risk to management.
5. Human Rights Due Diligence Initiatives
   We will establish a human rights due diligence system in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, identify any adverse impacts on human rights that may arise in the course of our business activities, and work to prevent and mitigate such impacts.
6. Corrective Actions and Remedies
   If it becomes clear that the business activities of the Tanseisha Group have caused, contributed to, or contributed to adverse impacts on human rights, we will take appropriate measures to remedy or remedy the situation.
   Furthermore, even if the Tanseisha Group itself does not directly contribute to adverse human rights impacts, if the Tanseisha Group's partner companies or other related parties are directly connected to adverse human rights impacts through their business, products or services, we will strive to prevent and mitigate those impacts.
   We will set up a consultation desk through our corporate website etc. for all people involved in the business activities of the Tanseisha Group and operate it appropriately. With regard to reports and consultations received, we will thoroughly manage the privacy of the whistleblower and related parties and the information on the report, and protect the whistleblower from being treated disadvantageously as a result of having made a report.
7. Dialogue and consultation with stakeholders
   We will continue to engage in dialogue and discussions with relevant internal and external stakeholders regarding the identification of actual and potential impacts on human rights and responses to improve them.
8. Education and Training
   We will provide appropriate education and training to the directors and employees of the Tanseisha Group so that this policy is understood, established in our business activities, and effectively implemented. We will also promote activities to ensure that our business partners, including our cooperating companies, understand this policy.
9. Information Disclosure
