About CRT Japan
Caux Round Table (CRT) is a global network of business leaders working to realize a fair,
free and transparent society through sustainable and socially responsible business. Since

its establishment in 1986 at Caux in Switzerland, the members of CRT have launched
operation offices in the United States, European and Asian countries, to promote anddisseminate corporate social responsibility (CSR) and responsible business behavior
based on the CRT Principles for Business established in 1994. This Principles is built on

three concepts reflecting values from US, Europe and Japan, that are ‘Kyosei’, ‘Human
Dignity’ and ‘Stakeholders Principle’ respectively. This is the first code of conduct inthe world history formulated by business leaders from US, Europe and Japan despiteof different cultures, customs and religious backgrounds. Since 1986 the International
Initiative of Change Japan Association had accommodated the secretariat of CRT
organization in Japan. In April 2000, the organization was re-established as anindependent entity Caux Round Table Japan (CRT Japan) aiming at starting moreproactive operations. In 2006, CRT Japan became a registered NPO (Non-Profit
Organization). Following the philosophy “…putting one’s own house in order and on

seeking to establish what is right rather than who is right.”, CRT Japan assists

Activity Report
Activity Review
Trend at Home and Abroad
While companies have been required to implement human rights due diligence in linewith the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (henceforth,the Guiding Principles), legislation lead by governments have been accelerating
following the Modern Slavery Act enacted by the UK government in 2015, for example,
enactment of Modern Slavery Act by the Australian government, and Thai government

efforts of formulating the national action plan that has been becoming more prominent.
On the other hand, ESG investment, which incorporates ESG factors including
companies’ human rights measures into investment decisions, has expanded and thecompanies are now being scrutinized for their negative impact on society in financial
markets. In Japan, ‘human rights abuses against foreign workers and strengthening of
supply chain management systems centered on the Asian region’ and ‘ESG investment
related activities’ have drawn a lot of interest. Increasing number of companies aredeveloping human rights policies and conducting human rights due diligence, andsome are becoming more interested in grievance mechanisms. Beyond that, there aresome movements envisioning addressing human rights issues in an integrated mannerwith corporate management.
Overview of Activities in FY2019
CRT Japan has been constantly thinking about what should be done to increase thevalue of Japanese companies globally, while keeping in mind bridging between Japanand the world, and business and stakeholders, and Especially we focused on thefollowing activities based on the UN Guiding Principles.
• In order to integrate "business and human rights" with management strategies, wehave conducted a human rights impact assessment and built a platform for nonfinancial information disclosure to contribute to management indicators and ESG
investment evaluation.
• In the supply chain, we established a system that enables direct communication

between companies and on-site producers and workers, and coordinated dialogues
and workshops for preventing human rights violations.
• Regarding supply chain management, for promoting “visualization” of the supply
chain, we worked with our partners, SEDEX and Bluenumber, to support
enhancement of corporate traceability.
