Based on the belief that respect for human rights is essential for the Company to fulfill its social responsibilities, we are thoroughly implementing initiatives on a global basis and striving to conduct management that takes human rights into consideration.

Human rights are fundamental rights inherent to all individuals that cannot be violated and must be universally respected.
As a global enterprise, Dexerials Group has established a Human Rights Policy, declaring its commitment to respect all human rights and not to tolerate discrimination, forced labor, or child labor.
Moreover, the Dexerials Group Code of Conduct expressly prohibits any discrimination in employment or promotion on the basis of ethnicity, religion, skin color, nationality, age, gender, disabilities, or any other factor that has no legitimate business reason, and expressly prohibits behavior that offends individuals’ dignity based on gender, authority, position, etc. Through training and distributing the Compliance Handbook at the time employees join the Company, we work to promote understanding so that all employees act with an awareness of the Code of Conduct in the course of their daily work.
At a time when the promotion of diversity and inclusion is expected of us, in aiming to build a corporate culture in which all stakeholders are respected and respect is given to diverse backgrounds and opinions, we also believe that educational activities to promote respect for human rights are essential to fulfilling our social responsibilities as a company.
Through human rights education, each and every employee will be aware that resolving all human rights issues remains a corporate social responsibility, and we will work so that the human rights of everyone involved in our business activities can be respected.

Human Rights Policy

Dexerials Group Code of Conduct

The Dexerials Group considers respect for human rights to be an important issue not only within the Group but throughout its supply chain. As a basic framework, we have established the Dexerials CSR Procurement Guidelines and are working to promote responsible procurement and a sustainable society through collaboration with our suppliers.

Supply Chain Management (CSR Procurement)

To prevent human rights violations and minimize their impact, the Dexerials Group provides human rights awareness education for the entire workforce under the theme of “business and human rights.” This program explains the basic concept of human rights due diligence and human rights issues that should be considered in corporate activities, encouraging employees to incorporate respect for human rights into their daily work. Through ongoing education and awareness initiatives, we aim to cultivate a corporate culture in which the workforce takes ownership of respecting human rights.

To create a workplace environment where everyone can work with peace of mind, we actively promote harassment prevention measures.
In fiscal 2024, harassment prevention training was expanded to include not only managers but also general employees in leadership positions. The training included sharing real-life cases and deepened participants’ understanding of the impact of harassment on individuals and organizations, as well as the difference between harassment and appropriate guidance. Going forward, the Dexerials Group will continue to foster dialogue and mutual understanding in the workplace, and will provide ongoing training and environmental improvements to ensure a workplace with a high level of psychological safety.

The Dexerials Group launched its human rights due diligence initiatives in fiscal 2024, beginning with an update to its Human Rights Policy. In fiscal 2025, we are advancing to the next steps of analyzing the current situation and assessing risks in line with the updated policy. We also held briefings for managers and other persons in charge to deepen understanding of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the importance of companies’ efforts to address human rights issues.

To address human rights issues such as harassment, discrimination, and inappropriate working conditions, the Dexerials Group has established an internal consultation desk (EEO Office) that ensures anonymity and privacy. In addition to this internal consultation office, we have also implemented a whistleblowing system for reporting human rights concerns. This system includes not only internal contact points but also an external contact point managed by an outside attorney, and supports anonymous reporting and multiple languages. Through these channels, all consultations and reports are appropriately investigated and addressed, with corrective and preventive measures taken as necessary to enable the early detection and resolution of human rights risks across the Group.
