Steps taken to ensure that modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking
place in SC Group’s business and supply chains
At the core of SC Group lies Sumitomo's Business Philosophy, which has been passed
down and followed faithfully for more than 400 years since Masatomo Sumitomo (15851652) had founded. Our Corporate Mission Statement (Management Principles andActivity Guidelines) is based on this philosophy and represents SC Group's fundamental
and ultimate value standard. In the Corporate Mission Statement, it clearly states that SC
Group respects the personality of each individual and places prime importance on
integrity and sound management.
We also identified our “Six Material Issues to Achieve Sustainable Growth with Society”
in 2017, a set of social issues that SC Group regards as important and should prioritize
addressing through its business activities as well as the challenges SC Group needs to1

overcome in creating solutions. SC Group positions these material issues as an importantfactor in developing business strategies and in the decision-making process forindividual businesses.
To enhance our sustainability management, we have identified our “Six Key Social
Issues and the Long-term Goals” in 2020. The six key social issues are related to ourbusiness that we address through our business and corporate activities and consist of twothemes: the sustainability of society and development and evolution of society. As oneof the six key social issues, we have set "respect for human rights" and "to respect humanrights through all of our businesses and supply chains" as its long-term target.
In addition to the long-term goals, we will further determine medium-term targets and
KPIs, which will guide us in addressing these social issues in a quantifiable way. In theinterest of accountability, our progress will be monitored and disclosed to its
stakeholders.
SC Group takes its commitment to tackling modern slavery and human trafficking very
seriously. We set out below the steps SC Group has taken to help ensure that modern
slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in SC Group’s business or supply
chains:SC Group’s Human Rights Policy
We respect “the International Bill of Human Rights” and the International Labor
Organization’s “Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work”, and weoperate in accordance with “the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business andHuman Rights”.
In line with SC Group’s Human Rights Policy, i) we strive to identify and to prevent or
mitigate any adverse impact on human rights through the implementation of humanrights due diligence processes, ii) where we identify that our group’s practices havecaused or contributed to an adverse impact on human rights, we will endeavor to takeappropriate remedial measures, iii) we will seek to improve and progress human rights
measures through engagement and dialogue with relevant stakeholders, and so on.
Human Rights Due Diligence
In accordance with the SC Group Human Rights Policy, we began human rights due
diligence in 2020 so that we can identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how weaddress any adverse human rights impact that SC Group business activities may cause
or contribute to.
Our human rights due diligence is conducted through a process in accordance withinternational guidelines including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Businessand Human Rights, United Nations Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, andOECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct. As a first step in2020, we identified eights salient human rights issues that should be addressed withpriority so that we can assess impacts concerning human rights throughout SC Group,2

by the desktop survey, interviews of experts on business and human rights and internalinterviews.
Identified eight salient human rights issues are as follows；
Labor conditions (wages and working hours), Freedom of association and the right tocollective bargaining, Forced labor and child labor, Occupational health and safety,
Health and safety of local residents, Land rights, Discrimination and harassment, andPersonal information and privacy.
We believe that the human rights of workers throughout the supply chain including SC
Group employees are essential as the foundations of business. In addition to the freedomof association and collective bargaining rights, forced labor and child labor, anddiscrimination and harassment, which are related to the four core labor standards of theInternational Labour Organization (ILO), we also take action to address labor conditions
and occupational health and safety. SC Group engages in business with strong ties inlocal communities centered on the infrastructure business and resource development,
and we have a responsibility to protect the health and safety of local residents and land
rights. Moreover, since SC Group engages in wide-ranging business, we have positioned
the personal information and privacy of stakeholders including customers as priority
issues.
For each of these issues, we will investigate and carry out action plans to prevent andmitigate specific risks with priority on areas of high risk in SC Group’s business.
SC Group’s CSR Action Guidelines for Supply Chain Management
We have established the SC Group CSR Action Guidelines for Supply Chain
Management. Through the implementation of these guidelines, we are aiming to realize
a sustainable society by working together with our suppliers, business partners andcontractors, etc. to achieve responsible value chain management. As part of theseguidelines, we set out its values to “Respect for human rights and not to be complicit inhuman rights abuses” and to “Prevent forced labor, child labor and the payment of
unfairly low wages.” These principles establish the overarching guidelines
encompassing our commitment to combating modern slavery and human trafficking.
In the event that we find violations of these guidelines in our supply chains, we will urge
the suppliers, business partners or contractors, etc. to remedy and improve the situation,
while providing support to them as needed. However, if there are no improvements tothe situation by them, we will consider carefully whether to continue our business withthem or not.
Enhancement of SC Group GovernanceIn order to embody “Management base SHIFT” in the Medium-Term Management Plan
SHIFT 2023, we are working on “Enhancement of SC Group Governance” aiming to3

improve business quality and corporate value through internal control for all
consolidated subsidiaries. Specifically, we have introduced a governance framework thatuses SC Group standard tool called Basic Elements to visualize the internal control statusof each group company and solve issues identified through “dialogue” with the parent
company.
The Basic Elements include “Respect for Human Rights”, “Labor Management, Health,
Safety and the Environment”, and “Supplier Management”, and if there are issues, weformulate a response policy according to its business nature and regional conditions.
Through regular monitoring, we will continue working to prevent modern slavery andhuman trafficking in SC Group’s business or supply chains through further enhancing
governance considering its business nature and regional conditions.
Social and Environmental Risk Management in Individual Project
In order to promote social and environmental risk management for each business, taking
into account the nature of the business and the characteristics of the region where it
operates, we established a management system that considers social and environmental
impacts when making decision on a new investment, by utilizing an assessment sheet
for social and environmental risks, and by having the Corporate Sustainability
Department, a specialized organization for social and environmental issues, participate
in the process of deliberations.
After the implementation of each investment, we monitor the status of social andenvironmental risk management and if any issues arise, we will work for improvements
according to the characteristics of the business.
Active commitment to the UN Global Compact
We signed the UN Global Compact and declared its support for the 10 principles inMarch 2009 as the parent company of SC Group. This international sustainability related
initiative shares the same values as our Corporate Mission Statement. With ourparticipation in the Global Compact, we have committed ourselves to further increasing
corporate value by constantly seeking out areas of our business activities that can be
improved in light of the values advocated by the 10 principles. The UN Global Compact
has been referred also through the internal auditing process of SC Group.
Training
In order to raise our awareness especially about modern slavery, we have utilized an
American NGO Verite's free e-Learning of Supply Chain Accountability on forced laborand human trafficking as a useful training material, which is one of the referred tools on'Transparency in Supply Chains: A Practical guide' published by UK Home Office.
Since SC Group conducts a wide range of business in multiple sectors, the associatedrisks vary, however the eradication of any instances of modern slavery and humantrafficking remains a key priority.

We will continue to undertake these efforts aimed at ensuring that no modern slavery or
human trafficking of any form exists in our business and supply chains.

3) In 2020, Fyffes suspended one supplier with poor results to encourage them to improve their compliance. Once the supplier had reached a satisfactory level of compliance, we recommenced buying
from this supplier.
4) In 2019, Fyffes rolled-out `Fyffes Responsible Business Conduct Principles`(https://www.fyffes.com/our-story/our-business/#our-principles ), including the requirement to be vigilant regarding
coercive labour, human trafficking and child labour and to immediately report any suspicions of such activity. In 2020, Fyffes began training all employees in the Fyffes Principles and also extended the
Fyffes Principles to all long-term consultants and major suppliers. In 2019 Fyffes launched a grievance mechanism made available to both internal and external stakeholders, called ‘the Fyffes Ethics

8住友商事グループ
2020 年度 現代奴隷法に係る声明（仮訳）

住友商事グループは、取引先やビジネスパートナーとともに、世界における奴隷労働や人身売買等の撲滅に努めていきます。
本声明は、英国現代奴隷法に従い、住友商事グループの 2020 年度の取り組みを公表するものです。住友商事はグループの親会社として毎年、本件声明を取締役会で決議しており、この声明は 2021 年 8 月 30 日開催の取締役会にて承認しております。

組織について
当社グループは、国内及び海外の 60 カ国以上に 130 超の拠点を持ち、900 社を超える事業会社を通じて、さまざまな産業分野で多くの取引先や消費者との信頼関係をベースに、多様な商品・サービスの国内販売、輸出入および三国間取引、さらには国内外における事業投資など、総合力を生かした多角的な事業活動を展開しており、70,000 人以上が就業しています。
当社グループの事業詳細につきましては、以下のウェブサイトをご覧ください。
https://www.sumitomocorp.com/ja/jp/about

住友商事グループの事業およびサプライチェーンにおける現代奴隷防止に関する取り組み
当社グループの根幹には、住友政友（1585－1652）による創業以来、400 年にわたって脈々と受け継がれてきた「住友の事業精神」があります。これを礎に「住友商事グループの経営理念・行動指針」を策定し、価値判断のよりどころとして確立させており、その中で「人間尊重を基本とし、信用を重んじ確実を旨とする」と明確にうたっています。
また、2017 年には、事業活動を行うにあたり、特に重要と捉え、解決に向けて優先的に取り組む社会課題と、解決に取り組む上での当社グループ自身の課題を「社会とともに持続的に成長するための６つのマテリアリティ（重要課題）」として特定しており、事業戦略の策定や個々のビジネスの意思決定プロセスにおける重要な要素と位置づけています。
2020 年には、サステナビリティ経営の高度化の一環として、「社会の持続可能性」と「社会の発展と進化」の２つのテーマを柱に６つの重要社会課題と長期目標を定め、重要社会課題の一つに「人権尊重」を掲げ、長期目標として「全事業・サプライチェーンにおける人

9権の尊重」を設定しました。今後、具体的なアクションプランを含む中期目標並びに KPI（重要な評価指標)を設定し、モニタリングを実施、取組みを推進するとともに、その進捗を開示していきます。
当社グループは、現代奴隷に関する問題を真摯にとらえ、その事業およびサプライチェーンにおける現代奴隷の防止に向けて、以下のような取り組みを行っています。

住友商事グループ人権方針
当社は、「国際人権章典」および国際労働機関（ILO）の「労働における基本的原則及び権利に関する宣言」が定める人権を尊重し、国連「ビジネスと人権に関する指導原則」に則って活動すべく、「住友商事グループ人権方針」において、i)人権デューデリジェンスの取組みを通じ、人権への負の影響の特定・防止・軽減に努めること、ii)当社グループの活動が人権に負の影響を与えていること、または助長したことが明らかとなった場合には、適切な措置を講じることでその救済に努めること、iii)ステークホルダーとの対話・協議により人権尊重の取組みの向上と改善に努めること、等を定めています。

人権デューデリジェンス
当社は、人権方針に基づき、当社グループの事業活動に与える人権へのリスクを特定・防止・是正するために、2020 年より人権デューデリジェンスを開始しました。当社の人権
デュー・デリジェンスは、国連「ビジネスと人権に関する指導原則」、「国連指導原則報告
フレームワーク」、「OECD 責任ある企業行動のためのデュー・デリジェンスガイダンス」な
ど、国際的なガイドラインに沿ったプロセスで実施しています。
最初のステップとして、グループ全体の人権への影響・リスクを評価すべく、デスクトップ
調査・専門家へのヒアリング・社内インタビューを行い、当社グループが優先的に対応すべき、８つの顕著な人権課題を特定しました。
特定した 8 つの顕著な人権問題は、次のとおりです。
「労働条件（賃金・労働時間）」「結社の自由と 団体交渉権」 「強制労働・児童労働」「労働安全衛生」「地域住民の健康安全」「土地の権利」「差別・ハラスメント」「個人情報・プラ
イバシー」
当社グループの従業員を含むサプライチェーン全体の労働者の人権はビジネスの基盤にかかわる重要な課題であり、国際労働機関（ILO）の４つの中核的労働基準にも関連する「結社の自由と団体交渉権」、「強制労働・児童労働」、「差別・ハラスメント」に加え、「労働条件」「労働安全衛生」に取り組んでいきます。当社グループでは、インフラ事業や資源開発を含め地域社会に深く根差した事業を行っており、「地域住民の健康安全」や「土地の権利」を尊重する責任があります。また、幅広い事業を行っていく上で、顧客や消費者の「個人情報・プライバシー」についても重要な課題の一つと位置付けています。

10

今後、これらの課題毎に、当社グループの事業でリスクの高い分野から優先的に、具体的なリスク防止・軽減のための行動計画を検討・実行していきます。

住友商事グループのサプライチェーン CSR 行動指針
当社は、持続可能な社会の実現に向けて、取引先や事業パートナーとともに社会的責任を果たすべく、「住友商事グループのサプライチェーン CSR 行動指針」を制定しています。
その中で「人権を尊重し、人権侵害に加担しない」、「強制労働・児童労働・不当な低賃金労働を防止する」とうたっており、現代奴隷の防止に関する指針としています。
万が一、本行動指針に抵触する事態が判明した場合には、まず当該取引先や事業パー
トナーに対し改善を促すとともに、必要に応じて指導・支援を行い、事態の改善を求めていきます。継続的な指導・支援を実施したにもかかわらず、是正が困難と判断された場合には、当該取引先や事業パートナーとの取引を見直していきます。

グループガバナンスの高度化
当社は、中期経営計画 SHIFT2023 における「経営基盤のシフト」を具現化するため、全ての連結子会社を対象に、内部統制を通じた業務品質および企業価値向上を目指す「グループガバナンスの高度化」に取り組んでいます。具体的には、Basic Elements というグループ標準ツールを活用し、グループ各社の内部統制状況を可視化し、親会社との「対話」を通じて認識された課題を解決していくガバナンスのフレームワークを導入しています。
この Basic Elements には「人権の尊重」、「労務管理、安全衛生管理」及び「サプライヤ－
管理」の各項目が含まれており、それらの状況を定期的にモニタリングし、課題がある場
合、各事業の特性に応じた対応方針を策定することにより、当社グループは引き続き、自らの事業およびサプライチェーンにおける現代奴隷の防止に向けて取組んでいきます。

社会・環境関連リスク管理
当社は、当社グループの各事業について、事業内容や地域の特性に応じたリスク管理を推進すべく、新規投資の申請時に、所定の評価シートを活用して、各事業の内容・地域特性等から想定される機会・リスクを洗い出すとともに、そのリスクに応じて、社会課題への対応に関する専門組織であるサステナビリティ推進部が審議過程に参加するなど、リス
ク状況に応じた意思決定を行う体制を整えています。
投資実施後も各事業会社の社会・環境リスク管理状況のモニタリングを行い、課題がある
場合には改善に取り組みます。

11

国連グローバル・コンパクトへの積極的な参画
当社は 2009 年 3 月、当社グループの経営理念と共通の価値観を提唱する国連グローバ
ル・コンパクト 10 原則に署名し、常に同 10 原則の価値観を企業活動に照らして改善点を見極め、より一層の企業価値向上に取り組んでいます。内部監査においても同 10 原則を参照しています。

研修
当社は、現代奴隷に関する当社グループ内の理解を深め、意識を高める為、英国内務省が発行する英国現代奴隷法への対応ガイダンス上で研修ツールの一つとして推奨されている米国 NGO（Verite）による強制労働と人身売買に関する英語版無料 e- Learningの受講を当社グループ内で推進しています。

当社グループはさまざまな分野の事業に従事し、関連するリスクも多岐にわたりますが、現代奴隷の撲滅はどの分野においても重要だと考えており、引き続き、現代奴隷の防止に関する取り組みを継続していきます。

Fyffesグループとして、SCグループ声明を支持し、The California Transparency in Supply Chains Actに対応すると同時に、同社取締役会で決議された独自声明を同社HP上で公開している。
(https://www.fyffes.com/modern-day-slavery/)①Fyffesのコンプライアンス担当チームは全員SMETAに関して教育を受けており、通常の監査においてその手法を適用している。SMETAタイプの監査はサプライチェーン上で実施され、仕入先（246拠点）の過半がSEDEX会員。全ての熟成施設が事前通告なしのSMETA監査の対象となっている。
②Fyffes Group Ltd.では2016年作成の基準に従い、人材派遣業者の採用・処遇状況に対する監査を継続実施。
③2020年、コンプライアンス対応の改善を促すために仕入先1社との取引を一時停止したが、適切な改善が行われたことを確認のうえ取引を再開した。
④2019年、強制労働や人身売買、児童労働に関する意識向上と、疑義があった際の速やかな報告を求める内容を含む、Fyffes Responsible Business Conduct Principlesを制定(https://www.fyffes.com/our-story/our-business/#our-principles )。2020年には、全従業員と長期で取引のあるコンサルタント、主な仕入先向けにFyffes Principlesに対して研修を開始。また2019年、従業員に不適切な行いがあった場合の報告先として、第3社が運営し、社内外の関係者が匿名で利用可能な“Fyffes Ethics Hotline”を開設(https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/56812/index.html)。
⑤Fyffesは欧州最大のFairtrade認証バナナ取扱業者であり、米国向けにも同認証メロンを大規模に輸出している。また、2019年に取り扱ったパイナップルの全数量とバナナの約25%の数量がRainforest Alliance認証を受けている。
⑥Global Human Rights Policy and Statement (https://www.fyffes.com/sustainability/policy-documents/ ) を制定し、社内の研修やプロトコルを通じて実行に移している。Fyffes
は、2030年までにサプライチェーンにおける全ての従業員、契約先に対して人権に関する研修を実施する目標を公表済み。
⑦Fyffesは、2019年に実施したHuman Rights Impact Assessmentにおいて判明した13のリスクについて、11の改善策を実行に移している。Human Rights Core Teamを組成し、各地域での取り組み推進と状況確認を行っている。(https://www.fyffes.com/news/fyffes-announces-its-human-rights-mitigation-action-plan/ )⑧児童労働防止のため、Fyffesは厳格な規則を設定しており、Fyffes自身のオペレーションの中で児童労働を見かけることは通常無い。しかしながら、小規模農家等で児童労働が行われることの無いよう、2020年にChild Labour Remediation Protocolを作成し、職場で児童が発見された場合に迅速な対応を取ることが出来るように、コンプライアンス担当者や監査担当者、人事担当者や農園マネージャーに対して研修を実施している。
⑨2020年、Fyffesはthe Red de Empresas Contra el Trabajo Infantil de Costa Rica (コスタリカの児童労働に反対する企業のネットワーク) に加入。同ネットワーク加入企業は、若年労働人口の権利（特に教育、健康、成長に関して）への取り組みと保護を約束している。
