Promoting Human Rights and Diversity
In April 2024, a Human Rights Impact Assessment was conducted for MNFV employees to assess the actual human rights impact, the degree of impact, and to correctly identify issues. The assessment was conducted by the Caux Round Table ("CRT"), an expert in human rights, as a third party, and Morinaga Milk Industry's Human Resources Department and Sustainability Promotion Department participated as observers.

In 2024, MNFV also introduced an internal Code of Conduct that prioritizes human rights. Supported by mechanisms for reporting violations and facilitating dialogue with stakeholders - including customers, supply chain partners, and local communities - the Code strengthens MNFV's commitment to human rights and diversity.
As part of human rights due diligence, MNFV's comprehensive 2024 plan focuses on identifying the risks of human rights violations associated with our business activities. From next year onwards, MNFV plans to formulate specific prevention and mitigation measures.
