In April 2020, Daicel Group signed the United Nations Global Compact to support its intention to resolve global issues as a responsible corporate citizen. The Global Compact upholds the 10 Principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption.
As a member of the Daicel Group, we will adhere to and practice these principles and contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.
At the Daicel Group, we recognize that, in order to progress and grow in tandem with society, it is imperative that we respect the human rights of anyone and everyone involved in or connected to us through our business activities. To fulfill this responsibility, the Daicel Group hereby establishes the Daicel Group Human Rights Policy.
Based on Daicel’s Group Human Rights Policy, we promote understanding and practice of respect for human rights throughout the value chain.
This year, we started implementing human rights due diligence across Group companies and completed voluntary audits and interviews with local evidence checks at Group companies in Europe, USA, Mexico, and China (Hong Kong). The head office and Group companies have begun talks on addressing issues identified through this process.
We will continue to appropriately work on respecting human rights and the realization of a sustainable business in order to exist and operate as a Group company that will remain trusted by stakeholders.
