fundamental labor rights including freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, and
prohibit forced labor or child labor.
　We are committed to respecting human rights in our business activities and also strive to avoid
contributing to infringement of human rights. In order to prevent and mitigate human rights risks
related to our business activities, we will take necessary measures, including ensuring compliance with
the Compliance Manual (the Koei Chemical Code of Business Conduct) and other relevant policies and
guidelines. We are also committed to understanding our impact on local communities and aim for
harmonious coexistence with these communities. We expect our business partners, including our
suppliers, and other relevant stakeholders to act in line with the principles in this Policy, and we will
seek ways to work with them to promote respect for human rights.
