Human Rights of Our Employees

Labor Union Relations

Shindengen Electric Manufacturing and its domestic Group companies actively ensure there are forums available for discussion between Labor Unions, Shindengen employees and Management. Shindengen Electric Manufacturing has signed a collective agreement with the Labor Union to guarantee the rights of all members. We constantly strive to maintain mutual understanding between employees and management by regularly convening labor-management meetings to discuss various working conditions and management issues such as living wage assurance.

Establishment of Employee Consultation Desk and Grievance Mechanism.

We have established a dedicated consultation desk to ensure that employees and their families can receive appropriate advice from professional counselors regarding everyday concerns, worries, or troubles. In addition, we continuously conduct educational and awareness activities on mental health to support employees’ well-being. Furthermore, through our internal reporting system and multiple external contact points, we have built a framework to receive and appropriately address human rights-related concerns and complaints from stakeholders. These channels strictly protect the privacy of whistleblowers and ensure that no disadvantage arises from reporting, thereby creating an environment where individuals can use them with confidence.

Zero Tolerance for Sexual and Power Harassment

The Shindengen Group has a zero-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment and/or power harassment. The Shindengen Group Action Guidelines have been put in place to effectively manage any instances of such harassment.
To prevent disturbances to workplace order, obstacles to work duties, and the loss of precious human resources, we invite speakers from outside to implement harassment training for all employees. The aim of this training is to teach employees that anyone can be a victim or a perpetrator, give them an understanding of harassment, and impart the communication tools needed to prevent it.

Human Rights Awareness Initiatives

In terms of human rights, the Shindengen Group engages in raising awareness through CSR training courses including specialized training on human rights. In addition to introducing CSR case studies including employment, tax payments, and social contribution, this training promotes respect for ILO core labor standards and consideration for LGBT individuals and other minorities. We strive to continuously share details about human rights issues using information dissemination tools, such as our intranet and company newsletters.
