Dialogue with experts
Human Rights and Sustainable Supply Chain Management
In March 2024, we held a dialogue with external experts regarding our human rights and supply chain initiatives. This year, we welcomed Mr. Masao Seki, Senior Advisor, Sustainability Promotion Department, Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. who is also the Chairperson of the Corporate Action Charter Task Force of the Committee on Corporate Behavior and SDGs, Nippon Keidanren, and exchanged views with our Setsu Hamana Managing Executive Officer and Toshitake Ashizawa Managing Executive Officer.
*Affiliations and titles are as of the time the expert dialogue was held.
<Main comments
- The fact that your company has created its own guidebook on human rights and the supply chain and has made it widely known shows your strong will and enthusiasm as a company to influence your business partners.
- When establishing a grievance mechanism regarding human rights, etc., it is effective to utilize external resources, such as relevant stakeholders and industry associations, rather than trying to do it on your own.
- The importance of human rights risks should not be judged solely on the basis of the transaction amount. It is important to keep in mind that even small-volume transactions can pose significant risks.
- When there is a problem with a business partner, it is important for a company to not simply terminate the contract, but rather to strengthen engagement and work to make improvements in order to truly resolve the problem.
For more information on our human rights and supply chain management initiatives, please see the following pages.

We are also actively engaged in industry-academia collaborations that combine the knowledge accumulated at universities with the know-how of private companies. In January 2019, with the cooperation of Tokyo City University and Mirai Share Co., Ltd., we conducted Japan's first "Suburban MaaS * Demonstration Experiment," which combined various mobility services to ensure the convenience and comfort of travel in suburban residential areas. Through two-way exchange with society, we aim to fuse knowledge with new ideas that transcend technical fields, create new business models, and fuse user-oriented ideas with technical knowledge.
*Mobility as a Service: A service that presents the optimal means of transportation based on the user's purpose and preferences.
