Respecting Human Rights

Our Group supports the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and bases its approach on internationally recognized human rights standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Bill of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization's (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Based on these international standards, the EBARA Group CSR Policy affirms our commitment to respecting the human rights of all stakeholders. We prohibit child labor and forced labor, strive to ensure safe and healthy working conditions, and respect diversity and equal opportunity across our operations and business relationships.

By faithfully putting this policy into practice, we strive to build strong relationships of trust with our stakeholders and enhance corporate value on a sustainable basis.

Based on the EBARA Group Human Rights Policy, we have established the EBARA Group Human Rights Committee. The Committee oversees initiatives aimed at respecting the human rights of all stakeholders affected by our business activities, recognizing human rights as a fundamental element of responsible business conduct.

The Committee meets twice annually to develop human rights policies and action plans. Progress is reviewed by the Sustainability Committee and subsequently reported to the Board of Directors. Through this governance framework, we work to continuously strengthen and improve our human rights initiatives.

The Compliance Consultation Hotlines provide employees and other stakeholders with channels to report or seek advice regarding human rights-related concerns, including various forms of harassment. While protecting the privacy and confidentiality of those who raise concerns, the Hotlines conduct prompt fact-finding and work toward the early remediation and resolution of identified issues.

The EBARA Group Human Rights Committee conducts human rights due diligence, recognizing that respect for the human rights of all people working within the EBARA Group, as well as throughout our supply chain, is the foundation of sustainable business activities.

1. Identification and assessment of human rights risks
2. Prevention and mitigation of human rights risks
3. Assessment of the effectiveness of measures implemented
4. Communication and disclosure to internal and external stakeholders

In April 2025, EBARA Corporation launched a Global Hotline to provide a mechanism for receiving and addressing reports, including human rights-related grievances, from officers and employees of EBARA Group companies. As of May 31, 2026, the hotline is available to officers and employees of 69 Group companies in 38 countries and supports 17 languages, enabling the early identification of risks that may be difficult to detect through normal workplace reporting lines.

To provide a consultation channel for suppliers, we established a Supplier Hotline in December 2025. The hotline accepts and addresses concerns raised by suppliers of EBARA Corporation and its Group companies. In addition, EBARA joined the Japan Center for Engagement and Remedy on Business and Human Rights (JaCER) in April 2024, enabling all stakeholders to submit concerns through JaCER's Dialogue and Remedy Platform.

Reports and consultations received through these channels are addressed by the Compliance Department in collaboration with relevant departments. As of March 31, 2026, no reports concerning human rights issues had been received through any of these channels. Should any human rights-related concerns be raised in the future, we are committed to addressing them sincerely and appropriately.

Since 2020, the EBARA Group Human Rights Committee has conducted dialogues with external human rights experts to deepen its understanding of human rights issues and support the continuous improvement of the EBARA Group's human rights management.

By incorporating insights gained through these dialogues, together with internationally recognized standards and guidance, we strive to enhance the effectiveness of our human rights management practices.

We conduct the following human rights awareness initiatives: 

1. Human rights training is provided to 121 Compliance Liaison Officers, who help promote awareness and understanding of human rights issues throughout their respective workplaces.
2. Human rights awareness training is included as part of onboarding programs for new employees and pre-assignment training for employees taking overseas assignments.

By strengthening employees' awareness of and sensitivity to human rights risks, and in conjunction with our compliance consultation hotlines, we aim to enable the early identification, reporting, and resolution of human rights-related issues.

• In 2024, we provided LGBTQ+ awareness training to Compliance Liaison Officers
• Participation in the Ministry of Justice "Declaration of My Human Rights”
