Human rights is one of the four material issues of ESG management, and we are working to educate and spread awareness at each level.
Grade-based education
In December 2022, we held an executive-level study session for Officers led by an outside specialist with the participation of Directors, Executive Officers, and Standing Audit & Supervisory Board Members. The study session was designed to create understanding of how companies are connected to stakeholders, especially civic society, and how this can benefit management.
Each year, e-learning training on the topics of respect for human rights and harassment prevention are also conducted for new employees and newly appointed Managers.
E-learning conducted at Group companies inside and outside Japan
In fiscal 2022, we conducted the Business and Human Rights e-learning program (translated into 20 languages) for all IHI Group Officers and employees inside and outside Japan to have everyone who works at the IHI Group learn how to frame business and human rights and deepen their understanding.
Messages from the President issued on international days
In fiscal 2022, the President issued messages to promote the importance of respect for human rights and gender equality to IHI Group employees inside and outside Japan on Human Rights Day (December 10, 2022) and on International Women’s Day (March 8, 2023).
