Education on Human RightsIn 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 provide online Human Rights Training for all employees, including managers and new employees, with the aim of eliminating the main human rights problems that are considered to occur a lot within companies, harassment (including sexual and power harassment), and discrimination and bias against people who belong to a sexual minority such as LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, or people of different races or religions. 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.
