Respect for Human Rights
Our Code of Conduct reaffirms our commitment to respect human rights and eliminate child and forced labor.
G-TEKT Human Rights Policy
The code also stipulates our commitment to promoting the creation of an open work environments, where diverse lifestyles and ways of thinking are respected.
Our Initiatives
All employees carry with them a leaflet with our Code of Conduct summarizing the behavior expected of them. The code is read aloud in unison at least once a year at all workplaces to make sure everyone is fully aware of the content.
We also conduct internal checks at all overseas subsidiaries at least once a year to ensure there are no cases of discrimination or use of conflict minerals. Headquarters formulates basic policies in Japanese and English showing ways to prevent unfair competition and corruption as well as how to deal with child and forced labor, with guidelines formulated by each local subsidiary in line with regional circumstances. By educating local management and staff, using the guidelines, we intend to make clear our rules and corporate approach to human rights violations.
In addition, G-TEKT has been conducting training on harassment for all people in management positions since fiscal 2018, ahead of the enforcement of the Anti-Power Harassment Law in Japan. To eliminate harassment Group-wide, this training will eventually be extended to all employees.
Prohibition of forced labor and child labor
We respect the International Labour Organization (ILO)’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and comply with laws and regulations on forced labor and child labor. Furthermore, we do not allow forced labor or child labor of any kind.

Implemented Sexual Harassment Training in North America
At JSC, our base in North America, we held training, on sexual harassment for all employees, using an outside instructor. The training deepens understanding of harassment within the company, including racial discrimination, through case examples and exercises. We are also striving to develop a new sense of morality within the company through similar training.
