“Commitment to Respecting Human Rights”

Our Group leverages advanced information analysis technologies powered by “KIBIT,” our proprietary equation-driven AI, to contribute to the realization of a fair world where people can access necessary and appropriate information across various fields, as well as to the resolution of social issues.

In our AI Solutions business, we are developing systems capable of early warning detection for issues related to human rights concerns, such as abuse and bullying. We also provide solutions that detect various forms of harassment, including power harassment and sexual harassment.

In the field of economic security and supply chain analysis, we provide solutions that enable companies to verify their connections with entities suspected of human rights violations, taking into account issues such as forced labor and unjust surveillance, as exemplified by the UFLPA (Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act).

“Initiatives to Respect Human Rights”

To prevent human rights violations, our Group has established internal and external reporting channels for whistleblowers and protects those who report through these channels from unfair personnel actions or other adverse consequences resulting from their reports.Furthermore, we report all consultations and reports received through these channels to the Board of Auditors to ensure transparency and address issues with sincerity.

“Education and Awareness”

In addition to issuing messages from top management aimed at eradicating harassment, we conduct annual training sessions on human rights awareness and harassment prevention for all executives and employees.

To monitor the workplace environment, we check monthly overtime hours and work to correct excessive working hours. We also conduct annual stress assessments for all executives and employees.

“Continuous Implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence”

We conduct regular annual screening checks on our business partners, and if any concerns are identified, we consider terminating the business relationship.

“Human Rights Governance Framework”

We conduct regular annual interviews with relevant business divisions to identify risks, discuss their scope of impact and likelihood of occurrence, and assess their significance.

In addition, the Risk Management Committee—composed of directors (including outside directors) and auditors—deliberates on the nature of risks, their assessment, and measures for prevention and mitigation.
