  • The titles/positions of participants are as of end of February 2023.

The opinions we received are as follows.

  • Human rights issues should be considered together, without distinguishing between global and domestic issues. Distinguishing between global and domestic human rights issues creates problems. It is also important to promote initiatives and show that we are not complicit in human rights issues.
  • It is important to disclose progress and responses to important human rights issues from the perspective of rights holders. There is nothing wrong with disclosing information, and it will lead to increased confidence among rights holders.
  • When formulating procurement policies and establishing a complaint-handling office, we should work with suppliers to formulate and establish such policies.

We reaffirmed the importance of disclosing the progress and response status of our efforts on human rights issues, and the importance of implementing measures through collaboration with our suppliers.
