Consideration of 무료 바카라 게임ights in the supply chain

Following our signing of the United Nations Global Compact in March 2021, we reviewed our Purchasing Policy and revised it as our Sustainable Purchasing Policy in January 2022. At the same time, we have also revised our Sustainable Procurement Guidelines (available in Korean and English), which are designed to work with suppliers to achieve a sustainable society, to clearly stipulate consideration for 무료 바카라 게임ights in the supply chain. In addition to posting our Purchasing Policy and these guidelines on our website, we attach them to requests for CSR questionnaires to suppliers to ensure they are widely known. We will engage in activities that do not directly or indirectly lead to complicity or promotion of 무료 바카라 게임ights violations through our business activities. Since FY2022, we have been conducting supplier questionnaires for key raw materials based on the CSR/Sustainable Procurement Self-assessment Tool Set of the UN Global Compact in an effort to identify serious 무료 바카라 게임ights issues.

Supply Chain Management

Addressing 무료 바카라 게임ights Issues Related to the Employee Safety and Health

The Group conducts a variety of initiatives to prevent harassment, including awareness-raising and seminars. We will continue to improve our knowledge and ability to respond to harassment, and we will firmly commit ourselves to “not engage in harassment, not tolerate harassment, and not become a bystander,” while striving to create a safe and comfortable workplace.
In addition to the whistleblowing contact points, we have established internal and external hotlines to facilitate consultation, especially on matters related to sexual harassment, maternal harassment, and LGBTQ issues.
We conducted a careful investigation of the facts to ensure that the informant does not suffer any disadvantages, and if an issue is confirmed, we implemented guidance and education for the target individuals to make improvements. We also made use of the intranet to raise awareness among all employees.

In order to “eliminate harassment,” we have been working very hard throughout FY2023 by a Corporate Ethics Study Meeting, including group discussions, throughout the entire Group. In addition, we have expanded the number of whistleblowing and consultation contacts points for harassment both internally and externally. We aim to realize a company where all employees can work with peace of mind by raising awareness among officers and employees through the implementation of such study sessions and by establishing an environment that makes it eas.

Labor and Management Relations

Basic philosophy

Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd. and the Sanyo Chemical Industries Labor Union (hereinafter “labor and management”) confirm the following basic labor-management principles and have concluded a collective agreement with the aim of realizing them.

Basic Philosophy of labor and management

Labor and management respect their respective positions and cooperate with each other to maintain employment, maintain and improve working conditions, and promote the sound development of the company.
Labor and management adhere to the principle of equal equality and work on issues with autonomy and development.
Labor and management work to solve problems through discussion on the basis of mutual trust and understanding.

Labor agreements guarantee that workers have basic labor rights (such as the right to collective bargaining).

Employment/labor and management relations

Sanyo Chemical employs a union shop system. In Japan, all employees, including domestic subsidiaries and affiliates, except managers, trial employees, part-time employees, and temporary employees, belong to the Sanyo Chemical Industries Labor Union. Regarding overseas subsidiaries and affiliates, employees transferred from the company will be treated in the same manner as above (excluding locally hired employees of overseas subsidiaries and affiliates). The proportion of organized employees is 69.9% (as of April 1, 2024).

Dialogue between labor and management

In order to respect each other's position and build a good relationship between labor and management based on trust, the company and the labor union hold a labor-management meeting attended by the company's management and the union's executive officers once a month (including an expanded labor-management meeting attended by the company's management inclusha the management. We also hold labor-management meetings at each business site and labor-management meetings at each function and division on a regular basis.

Based on the strong feelings of both labor and management from the past, we have established a Labor-Management Expert Committee composed of representatives from each division and function of labor and management to discuss and spend a lot of time improving the overall personnel system, including benefits, by introducing our own wage revision system, rather than spending a lot of time only in the spring labor offensive. The agenda of the Labor-Management Expert Committee is reported to each labor and management after discussions at the Labor-Management Steering Committee on the Personnel Treatment System , which is held every August. After it is deliberated by the Management Council on the company side and by the Central Executive Committee on the labor union side, it is then deliberated by the union members through the Central Congress or the Central Committee.
Requests for health and safety and the improvement of the working environment are addressed by the Occupational Safety and Health Committee or the Health Committee, which meet once a month at each business site.

Main contents of discussions (FY2023)

·Review of the comprehensive housing system
· Review of wage revision method, conclusion of bonus calculation formula, and increase in base pay
