We comply with the business employment obligations of the Act to Facilitate the Employment of Persons with Disabilities.
We properly report on the state of employment activities to Public Employment Security Offices in accordance with regulations.

We maintain various programs, including childcare leave and shortened working hours after childcare leave, to ensure the Company is a welcoming place for women employees and a place where women can thrive. We also promote these programs through internal bulletins and other means. Through these and other measures, we strive to increase the representation of women in management ranks.

To avoid cases in which employees feel they must leave the Company to care for children, we publicize the details of childcare leave programs through internal bulletins to deepen understanding of our programs not just among those who may use the programs, but their coworkers.

Therefore, we will appropriately disclose the progress and results of our human rights due diligence, and continue our efforts to respect human rights.

Establishment of a consultation system to prevent harassment

As part of our efforts to create a harassment-free work environment, we have set up a consultation desk in the management department of each business site, including Group companies, to promote mental health promotion plans and to make it possible for staff to consult with consultation desk personnel in the event of harassment or witnessing of such acts.
In order to protect the confidentiality of the person who contacts the consultation desk, in addition to protecting their privacy, we have clearly stated that there shall be no disadvantageous treatment due to the consultation, and have prepared a system that can ensure an appropriate response such as improving the situation or taking measures to prevent recurrence.
In addition, in order to respond appropriately to consultation and reporting on harassment, we are striving to create a system where employees can consult with peace of mind by conducting regular education and training for general employees as well as managers and personnel in charge of the consultation desk. In FY2023, 3,760 people attended harassment training.

The Kamigumi Group recognizes that children are in a position where their rights are easily violated and that special consideration needs to be given to their human rights. In the Kamigumi Group Human Rights Policy, we endorse and respect the contents of the ILO conventions and do not tolerate forced labor or child labor at all. In addition, respecting the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Kamigumi Group will strive to eliminate child labor in its business activities and supply chains, and will promote activities to respect children's human rights, avoid violations of children's rights, and realize a society in which children's rights are respected.
