FRONTEO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) has developed a supply chain analysis solution for the economic security AI solution “KIBIT Seizu Analysis” that is related to Uyghurs. We would like to inform you that we have added watchlist information and enhanced the functionality to support due diligence of companies and institutions.

As the world situation becomes more complex, governments and communities are enacting a list of various regulatory and sanction requirements and their applicable targets based on perspectives such as conflicts and conflicts between countries and regions, economic and foreign policy, and human rights protection. It is determined. Furthermore, although private research organizations and non-governmental organizations are not subject to official regulations, they provide investigative reports and closely monitor organizations that have concerns about military diversion of private technology, involvement in conflicts, human rights violations, etc. There are also an increasing number of cases in which a list of things to be done is created and published. In addition to thoroughly complying with public regulations, companies are required to accurately understand these trends and the latest information and take countermeasures.

The newly added watchlist was created by FRONTEO based on an academic survey (Driving Force, In Broad Daylight) that investigated the Uighur region, the automobile industry, and the solar power generation industry. Recently, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been tightening regulations on Uyghur-related supply chains, and the number of items regulated by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) is also expanding. With the addition of this watchlist, KIBIT Seizu Analysis will be able to confirm Uighur-related supply chains that are at risk of being regulated in the future.

FRONTEO will continue to improve the functions and analysis technology of KIBIT Seizu Analysis and contribute to companies' economic security measures.
