Establishing Corporate Culture that Respects Human Rights.

We promote our operations and employees to adhere to human rights principles and respect employee rights on a consistent basis. Examples included ensuring the confidentiality of employees' personal health information, encouraging employees to vote, and promoting activities aimed at reducing inequality, such as creating jobs for persons with disabilities to assure their sustained income. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteer activities were organized on the online platform to encourage employees to give back to the community and society, such as reading books for the blind, joining tree banks, and arranging online courses for entrepreneurs.
