Human Rights
The IHI Group formulated the IHI Group Human Rights Policy in December 2020 based on its management philosophy and its approach to human rights outlined in the Basic Code of Conduct for the IHI Group under the approval of the Board of Directors.
Through human rights awareness activities based on international standards, we will fulfill our responsibility to respect the human rights of all by fostering a respectful corporate culture and promoting human rights throughout our business activities.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The IHI Group recruits and trains human resources as the most vital management resource through our management philosophies of “Contribute to the development of society through technology” and “Human resources are our single most valuable asset”.
We strive to realize a healthy, safe, work-friendly environment where everyone respects one another and prospers.
Labor Practice (Occupational Health and Safety)
Ensuring safety and health is the foundation of business activities and is considered a key management issue. We promote the creation of a work environment where not only group employees but all people who work with us can work safely and healthily.
Work-style and operational process reforms
Providing an attractive workplace that accommodates various values is a essential for a company that aims to be chosen by excellent talent. We promote the creation of an environment where employees can use their initiative to demonstrate creativity, improve productivity, and work with fulfillment.
Customer relationships
We conduct business based on the principle of providing socially useful products and services that satisfy and are trusted by customers, provided with sufficient consideration for safety and contributing to social development. We strive to ensure the quality of our products and services, considering it as a bond of trust between the IHI Group and the customers and society we serve.
Supply chain management
We have established a basic policy with three pillars: fair and just transactions, mutual prosperity with business partners, and compliance with laws and response to social demands, on the basis of which we carry out procurement activities. In procurement of materials and equipment necessary for business activities, we give sufficient consideration not only to basic requirements such as quality, price, and delivery time but also to human rights, labor, occupational health and safety, environment, and information management.
Corporate citizenship
We consider it the company's social responsibility to meet the expectations of society, and engage in social contribution activities. Regarding the social contribution activities that should be undertaken in the areas where business bases are located, we set "Coexistence with Local Communities", "Development of Next-generation Professionals", and "Environmental Protection" as key issues, based on the relevance to the business activity in question.
