Human Rights in the Supply Chain

Policy

Labor Policy/Code of Conduct in the Supply Chain

JINS aims to realize its vision "Magnify Life" also in the supply chain. To make the entire supply chain sustainable, JINS is making efforts with its business partners to, for example, enhance transparency of procurement processes, improve working environments, respect human rights, preserve the environment, ensure thorough safety and health management. JINS will continue responsible procurement to contribute to creating a sustainable society.

Policy on Prevention of Slave Labor/Human Trafficking

Based on the International Bill of Human Rights and the UN Global Compact, JINS will promote human rights due diligence and address human rights issues in the supply chain. JINS will never be involved in slave labor and human trafficking and does not have any relationship with companies or producers suspected of being engaged in such misconduct. In addition, JINS will carry out continuous risk assessment concerning various human rights issues.

Policy on Prevention of Child Labor/Forced Labor

JINS prohibits child labor and forced labor in the supply chain. At JINS, child labor and forced labor have not been found; however, JINS will continue to ensure its suppliers comply with laws and regulations thoroughly in each country, while conducting regular monitoring. The suppliers are requested to take measures for preventing child labor such as requiring newly hired employees to show official identification. Also in future, JINS will respect human rights of socially vulnerable persons and request its suppliers to prevent forced labor and other human rights abuses thoroughly.

Medium-term Goals for 2030 and Progress

Zero Serious Incidents in the Supply Chain/Continuous Monitoring of the Supply Chain and Full Elimination of Unfair Labor and Accidents

JINS shares with its suppliers the need to improve the transparency of the procurement process, improve the working environment, respect human rights, protect the environment, ensure safety and health, quality, information security management, and corporate governance, and aims to thoroughly eliminate unfair labor and accidents. To this end, we conduct preliminary audits of our suppliers based on our own evaluation program. We also conduct regular on-site visits to suppliers to conduct a monitoring survey and encourage them to manage and improve ESG issues.

Management Systems

Preliminary Survey of Suppliers and Selection Criteria

JINS conducts preliminary surveys of major supplier factories using its own check sheets in the areas of governance, quality, environment, human rights, labor, health and safety, fair trade, and information security. In order to further improve and evolve this survey, we will distribute our own ESG evaluation check sheets to our supplier factories and ask them to self-evaluate, and then check each item to screen suppliers, thereby selecting suppliers with more appropriate human rights and labor management.

Labor Management Systems for Suppliers

In the first year after a supplier is selected, audits are conducted based on JIN’s own standards, and discussions are held to improve any issues. From the following fiscal year, monitoring is conducted by an external evaluation organization.

Monitoring by an External Inspection Agency

JINS also conducts audits by an external organization (SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services CO., LTD.) to allow monitoring from a third-party perspective. Based on the results of the assessment, we hold a dialogue with the factories and discuss ways to improve if there are any issues.

Measures for Preventing Child Labor/Unfair Labor

In order to protect the labor and human rights of all people working at JINS, among the audit items for suppliers, JINS conducts detailed audits of “prohibition of forced labor,” “prohibition of child labor,” “prohibition of inhumane treatment (legal compliance, minimum working conditions, worker dispatch),” and “prohibition of discrimination (legal compliance, gender equality in employment, employment of workers with disabilities).”
