In order to raise awareness of various human rights issues, we provide human rights awareness training for employees, opportunities to consider the importance of human rights in the supply chain together with our suppliers, while also striving to encourage education about these issues and how they are connected to our daily actions.
Human rights awareness training for employees
To prevent and mitigate human rights risks, it is important to raise awareness among all employees, deepening our understanding of human rights. For this reason, FANCL Group conducts regular yearly 'human rights training' sessions.
We conduct online 'human rights training' for all employees, including management and new employees, to elminate discrimination and prejudice related to major human rights issues that are considered possible issues within the company, such as harassment (sexual harassment, power harassment, etc.), issues facing the LGBTQ community and other sexual minorities, people with disabilities and issues related to religion and race, among other concerns. Through these training sessions, all employees learn how to deal with specific cases of bullying, harassment and discrimination and are able to gain an understanding of human rights issues. FANCL is working to create a workplace where everyone can work comfortably. Training for executtives and managers includes details about how to respond to a harassment report or consultation from a mangement perspective.
