Techno Associe Group Human Rights Policy
Techno Associe’s universal basic policy is to conduct fair business activities under high corporate ethics based on our basic spirit of Business Policy, Corporate Principles, and Charter of Corporate Behavior. We recognize that all of our business activities must be conducted based on the premise of respect for human rights as we continue to develop together with the global society, and we will continue to promote initiatives to respect human rights throughout the Group to fulfill our responsibilities.
Human Rights Due Diligence
Based on the "Techno Associe Group Human Rights Policy", we conduct human rights due diligence throughout the Techno Associe Group and are carrying out further efforts to promote respect for human rights within the Group. In fiscal 2022, our primary focus was on "child labor, forced labor, and migrant labor", and we took steps to correct risks identified through a survey we conducted, in accordance with international standards on respect for human rights.
Human Rights Education and Training
Techno Associe carries out human rights education with the goal of creating a corporate culture in which diversity is valued and employees have respect for each other's human rights. As part of the effort, we engage in continuous education and awareness-raising on the relationship between corporate activities and human rights through various in-house training programs (including e-learning). Issues such as race, gender (including sexual minorities such as LGBT), religion, nationality, sexual harassment and abuse of authority are dealt with in the programs to strengthen the literacy of employees and teach how to respond when harassment actually occurs or is reported.
Implementation of Fair Recruitment
Techno Associe hires people in a fair and equitable manner to offer a variety of career opportunities, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, etc. Recruiters participate in new appointment and basic training for staff in charge of promoting fair screening for recruitment and human rights enlightenment sponsored by Osaka Prefecture and incorporate what they have learned in their recruitment activities.
Basically, we are working on the premise that (1) we give opportunities to applicants widely and (2) we do not recruit employees based on anything other than the abilities and suitability of the applicants.
Preventing Harassment
Techno Associe considers sexual harassment and abuse of authority serious infringements on human rights, and is committed to controlling their occurrences and providing prompt and appropriate solutions through in-house newsletters, hierarchical and promotional compliance training and e-learning. As part of management level training, harassment training has been implemented continuously.
Human Support Contact
Techno Associe has established the "Human Support Contact" from the perspective of protecting human rights of employees, and worked to make it known to employees as well as appropriately solve issues. We have set up human support counselors at all of our domestic sites and hold training sessions every year at the area and organizational level to raise skills of employees in charge of the contacts and to enhance cooperation with the HR & Administration Department, an administrative office, in order to develop a system to allow employees to easily seek advice. Harassment Counselors Training was conducted where counselors learned how to prevent harassment from occurring by appropriately engaging with others, the importance of communication based on mutual understanding, and appropriate responses when receiving harassment consultation through role-playing as counselors. This training enables them to utilize what they have learned when they actually respond to consultations.
