Keidanren Chairman Tokura called for the transparency of the product supply network = supply chain, such as whether there are any products produced by forced labor, regarding the strict eyes on the company's response to human rights issues. I showed my thoughts.
Keidanren Chairman Tokura responded to interviews with media companies at the beginning of the year.
Among them, while it is pointed out that forced labor is widely practiced in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, it is said that strict attention is being paid to the response of companies regarding human rights issues. On top of that, human rights have become an indispensable issue. Since companies are also members of society, I think we should have a strict awareness that we must adhere to social norms. "
On that basis, he said, "Each company should voluntarily judge the importance of human rights and work hard." He expressed his intention to call for transparency in the supply chain.
Regarding the management's policy toward this spring battle, Chairman Tokura said, "It is natural to return the results to employees," and Keidanren is proactive about companies with good business performance. I reemphasized calling for a wage increase.
