Respect for Human Rights

Basic concept

Respect for human rights is stated in the Declaration of our corporate philosophy, THE ESPEC MIND.
The ESPEC Code of Conduct and Behavior Guidelines, which applies to all ESPEC executives and employees, also establishes that we will “respect basic human rights and will engage in no discriminatory treatment, words, or action on the basis of gender, age, nationality, race, ethnicity, color, religion, creed, social status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, medical history, viral infection, disability, or other reasons, either within or outside the company” and we work to ensure comprehensive understanding of this through annual company training.

Preventing harassment

An office has been set up for reports and consultations related to sexual harassment and other discriminatory behavior, abusive acts, and similar issues. We established Harassment Prevention Regulations in FY 2020. We also conduct internal awareness-raising activities on a continuous basis in order to prevent harassment.
