3. Our steps to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place
Human rights due diligence
In FY 2018, the Teijin Group has conducted a survey with the support of an externalNGO in order to sort out the types of human rights issues that could be considered foreach our business, and to identify places where such issues might become apparent. Thebusinesses targeted by this survey is a total of 11 businesses: aramid, carbon fibers,
resin, film, composites, fibers and products converting, pharmaceuticals, homehealthcare, IT, material new business and healthcare new business. As a specific survey
method, we quantitatively analyzed the human rights issues risk in each of the above 11businesses, from the two perspectives of “country / region” and “business contents”,based on the characteristic of each of the above 11 businesses (country / region andbusiness contents etc.) and the characteristic of our suppliers of each businesses (placeof operation, materials of their products and business contents etc.). Through this survey,
we have confirmed that in the business of fibers and products converting, human rights
3issues are most likely to take place, particularly in the countries of Myanmar, China,Vietnam and Thailand. In the business of fibers and products converting, we havealready promoted efforts to respect human rights, but we will continue to promote
improvement as a high priority business.
CSR procurement
The Teijin Group conducts the following activities for CSR procurement in cooperation
with our suppliers.
- Teijin Group supplier surveys
We have developed and launched an original system for surveying and rating oursupplier’s status of efforts on CSR. The system utilizes an online questionnaire toconfirm whether or not suppliers are complying with the Teijin Group CSR
Procurement Guidelines, and the results are used to determine their place in a 5-level
ranking system. We are conducting these supplier surveys not only of major suppliers inpurchasing divisions in Japan but also of major suppliers of the general affairs andhuman resources department and overseas Teijin Group companies. Based on the resultsof these surveys, in FY2018, we have conducted detailed interviews, alerted and/orrequested submission of an improvement plans to 28 companies in Japan and overseas.
