Responding to Identified Risks
As concrete measures to address the identified key human rights risks, the Group has established a human rights due diligence framework and is promoting efforts to prevent risks and mitigate negative impacts. In addition to implementing regular assessments and establishing systems for taking corrective actions, we are developing systems to ensure appropriate remedies and corrective measures and access to grievance mechanisms (such as internal whistleblowing systems) in the event that adverse impacts on human rights occur or we are found to have been involved in such impacts. We are also working to integrate these systems with our existing company-wide risk management programs and to establish a comprehensive management and oversight framework.
Initiatives to Promote Respect for Human Rights
Human Rights Awareness DVD Screenings
As part of its efforts to raise human rights awareness among employees, the MIRARTH HOLDINGS Group held DVD screenings in August and December 2025.
With the aim of providing employees with an opportunity to learn about the latest information and topics through video materials in a relaxed environment, we screened short dramas about unconscious bias and tips for improving workplace communication.
Establishment of an "Expression and Wording Checklist"
The MIRARTH HOLDINGS Group has created an "Expression and Wording Checklist" to review content created and disseminated within the Group from the perspective of respecting human rights.
This checklist summarizes the recommended wording and the use of images and illustrations, referring to guidelines published by government agencies, local governments, and organizations representing affected communities to ensure our information is communicated in a way everyone can access with peace of mind.
To encourage the active use of this checklist, we held study sessions primarily for departments that are responsible for communications.
