Material Issues for Competitive Advantage:
2-4. Respect the Human Rights of All People Involved in Our Business

Background

  • ANA Group businesses are supported by people around the world
  • We must practice management that respects the human rights of all people in the supply chain, including group employees

Vision

We practice management that respects the human rights of all people in our supply chain. We aim to eliminate any negative impacts on human rights and to create positive impacts by earning the trust of society, communicating to the public how ANA Group management ensures respect for human rights.

Policy / Basic Approach

The ANA Group is committed to upholding human rights in accordance with the global standards provided in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In April 2016, we established the ANA Group Policy on Human Rights. We based this policy on the International Bill of Human Rights (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the two International Covenants), the International Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In fiscal 2020, we reviewed our existing procurement policy and formulated a new ANA Group Procurement Policy consisting of the Basic Procurement Policy and the Supplier Code of Conduct. We continue to encourage our contractors and suppliers to adopt similar policies. We continue to encourage our contractors and suppliers to adopt similar policies. We will continue human rights initiatives, recognizing that respect for human rights lies at the very foundations of the philosophy of the SDGs.
