Fuyo Lease Group Human Rights Policy

Fuyo Lease Group’s mission is to contribute to the realization of a more prosperous society and it’s sustainable development by boldly taking on the challenge of creating new value through developing and expanding our business. We have established three visions (what we wish to achieve) to enable us to become a company group that is highly regarded by a multitude of stakeholders.

Visions
  • The group that anticipates social changes and takes on the challenge of yet unseen issues
  • The group that is trusted by customers and works together to solve social issues
  • The group that grows with employees by supporting the challenges and growth of each employee

Fuyo Lease Group positions CSV (Creating Shared Value) which simultaneously enables solutions to social issues and improvement of corporate value at the center of our management policy. We are promoting the medium-term management plan “Fuyo Shared Value 2026,” and incorporate “Business and Human Rights” as one of our main CSV management measures.

Recognizing the possibility that the business activities we conduct could potentially have an adverse impact on human rights, Fuyo Lease Group has established this human rights policy (this “Policy”) in order to clarify our stance as a company that respects human rights. Fuyo Lease Group will, in accordance with this Policy, contribute to the realization of a society that respects human rights through our business activities.

This Policy was approved by the Board of Directors after deliberation by the Executive Committee.

1.Scope of Application

This Policy applies to officers and employees of Fuyo Lease Group (including temporary employees and contract employees; collectively the “Employees”). We also expect that our customers, partner companies, and all other stakeholders of Fuyo Lease Group will respect this Policy.

2.Upholding International Standards

Fuyo Lease Group will uphold international standards on human rights, such as the “International Bill of Human Rights (Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenants on Human Rights)” and the “ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work,” and will also fulfill our responsibility to respect human rights under the “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights” and “Children’s Rights and Business Principles.”

In addition, Fuyo Lease has endorsed and signed the “United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).” We also support the UNGC’s 10 principles related to the 4 areas of “ensuring human rights,” “eliminating unfair labor,” “addressing environmental issues,” and “preventing corruption” and will continue striving to realize the principals.

3.Compliance with Laws and Regulations

Fuyo Lease Group complies with the laws and regulations applicable in each country and region where we conduct business activities. If the laws and regulations in a country or region differ from the human rights standards recognized internationally, we pursue means to respect internationally recognized human rights standards.
