Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD)
The company has established a human rights due diligence process to serve as guidelines for managing human rights issues. The company gives priority to identifying and addressing human rights risks, as well as implementing measures to prevent, correct, and remedy any human rights impacts. The HRDD process consists of five steps:
1. Announcing the human rights policy.
2. Identifying issues and assessing human rights risks.
3. Integrating the assessment results into internal management practices.
4. Monitoring and reviewing human rights performance.
5. Providing remedies for impacts and establishing channels for receiving complaints.
Human Rights Risk and Impact Assessment
The company conducts human rights risk assessments along the entire business value chain to identify, prevent, and mitigate the impacts of human rights risks in its operations. The criteria for human rights risk assessment are based on two factors: the impact of the risk and the likelihood of its occurrence. The assessment covers six aspects of human rights, including labor rights, community rights, supply chain, security, environment, and customer and consumer rights. No human rights risks were found to be at a high level.
