Respect for human rights

The DBJ Group has put into place a relief mechanism and work processes for performing due diligence on human rights issues in investments, loans, and procurement activities, based on a basic policy on respect for human rights that is foundational to realizing sustainability in social and economic activities. In our evaluation, we have identified potential risks to human rights in the business activities of the DBJ Group, including 12 major Group companies, and we have identified significant human rights issues while evaluating their importance based on severity and probability. We will continue to reassess while monitoring changes in the environment.
