Sustainability of the OKI Group Respect for Human Rights

Basic Approach to Human Rights

The OKI Group, as a signatory to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, recognizes that respecting international human rights norms, including the International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and considering the human rights of each and every person connected to OKI in our operations is the foundation of all corporate activities. It enshrines "Respect for Human Rights" in its Charter of Corporate Conduct and Code of Conduct, and ensures human rights are respected by providing education through new hire trainings, trainings based on job position, and e-learning programs. The Group is also working on a fair employment and selection process and creating a working environment where diverse employees can play an active role.
The OKI Group manages harassment and other human rights and labor risks as "common risks." In addition to educating all employees through the compliance training program, we have established the Harassment Consultation Center as a contact point in the event that a problem occurs or could occur. We have also developed and are implementing procedures for dealing with any risks, including protecting employees who have consulted the center.
Furthermore, we made "Respect for Human Rights" the first principle of the "OKI Group AI Principles," which provides guidelines for OKI as a company that offers products and solutions using AI. The principle sets forth that the OKI Group strives to prevent discrimination by AI, respects privacy, and complies with laws and regulations concerning the handling of personal information. In addition, we conduct surveys on the human rights, labor, and other initiatives of our suppliers as provided in the "OKI Group Supply Chain CSR Deployment Guidebook."

In order to further promote such initiatives, in fiscal year 2022, we enacted human rights policy based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We will establish mechanisms in accordance with this policy and develop and implement measures for human rights due diligence and other requirements. In fiscal year 2022, we made OKI Group Human Rights Policy known through a sustainability e-learning program for all employees of the domestic OKI Group (99.9% participation rate), and conducted a survey of manufacturing subsidiaries within the OKI Group to understand their initiatives and issues related to human rights.
