Human Rights

在2019年实施的主要活动，因为防止人权风险的缓解措施如下;

1) Implementation of Assessment for Suppliers
我们每年评估供应链中的人权风险，以确定巨大的社会关注和设定目标领域的风险。
In fiscal 2017, we started a new CSR self-assessment based on the Code of Conduct of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), a corporate alliance that promotes corporate social responsibility in the global supply chain. We plan to conduct an assessment of all our important suppliers within three years, and conduct a formal RBA audit (VAP audit) as necessary. In fiscal 2019, we completed a 100% assessment of the target suppliers. In addition, based on the results of the assessment conducted in FY2018, we conducted on-site audits in Thailand and China and recognized points for improvement regarding human rights risks.
We provided feedback about the audit results for each supplier and requested for corrective actions for areas needing improvements. We will continue to conduct the audit of suppliers in the future.

2）实施RICOH集团附属公司的评估
理光集团认识到生产地点的人权风险高度重要，并不断监控它。
In FY2016 we conducted on-site audits to Ricoh Asia Industry (Shenzhen) Ltd., one of the production sites in China. The audit conducted by a third party was based on the internationally acknowledged standards, i.e. the ten principles of UN Global Compact and ISO 26000, etc. As a result, some corrective actions were identified, but we were able to confirm that their operations were carried out in compliance with the international standards and their equivalents. In 2017, we created a self-assessment format based on the results of the previous year's on-site audit with referring major international human rights standards. The format was created as a guideline to ensure our affiliated companies can fulfill social responsibilities as well as compliance with laws but also to promote social and environmental responsibility and business ethics. We carried out a trial assessment with the new format. In 2018, internal audits were conducted for Ricoh Manufacturing (Thailand) Ltd. Measures for improvement items we have identified are continuously implemented. We will continue to conduct on-site audits at sites that need confirmation and work to reduce risks. In 2019, we joined the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), a corporate alliance that promotes corporate social responsibility in the global supply chain, and conducted assessments in line with the RBA SAQ focusing on two high-priority production sites. In FY2020, Ricoh Industry Tohoku office-one of the two sites where the assessment was conducted, underwent third party audits. There were no major human rights-related issues at either site.
We will continue to conduct on-site audits at sites that need confirmation and work to reduce risks.

4)响应关于冲突矿物质
理光集团认识到，冲突地区和其他高风险地区各州的一些矿物的采购可能成为人权滥用和劳动问题等的来源等。
为了防止出现问题，我们每年都与供应商合作进行负责任的矿产资源采购的调查。与此同时，我们正在继续与行业群体合作的尽职勤奋活动。

The Ricoh Group as a global citizen, while being conscious of the respect for human rights of all the stakeholders involved, will surely pursue the human rights due diligence.

5）对LGBT的回应
The Ricoh Group is implementing measures to promote understanding of LGBT with the aim of creating a work environment where everyone can feel at ease with their own personality. We believe that properly understanding various genders and sexual minorities is indispensable for the realization of a work environment in which everyone can work comfortably, with discrimination resulting from incomprehension completely eliminated.
In FY2018, we revised Ricoh Group Code of Conduct by adding "sexual orientation and gender identity" in consideration of LGBT. In fiscal 2019, we held LGBT seminars and e-learning training for group employees in Japan. As of the end of March 2020, 89.3% of employees completed the e-learning training. In addition to continuing to promote employee understanding through e-learning, we are making various plans for gender-free considered facility renewal and the establishment of a consultation desk in consideration of LGBT.
