Respect for Human Rights

1. Human Rights Policy

In developing our businesses globally, we believe that it is essential not only to comply with the laws and regulations of each country, but also to respect international human rights standards. In December 2021, the Mitsubishi Materials Group established a Human Rights Policy in compliance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and is promoting initiatives to respect human rights. This Policy applies to all officers and employees of the Mitsubishi Materials Group. We also expect the Group's business partners to support and practice this Policy and aim to promote respect for human rights together with them.

To enhance our human rights initiatives, the Mitsubishi Materials Group will drive human rights due diligence internally, as we seek to reduce human rights risks. We will also drive collaborative initiatives with our business partners. We plan to establish a PDCA cycle to identify and review assumed risks based on the results of fact-finding surveys on human rights issues, further instill it internally through human rights awareness trainings and other measures, and expand them globally.
From fiscal 2023, we will work on the following three items in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in order to mitigate and prevent our business activities from negatively impacting human rights.

• Dissemination of commitment to human rights policy
• Implementation of human rights due diligence
• Remedial action (processes that enable remedial action for negative impact on human rights caused or promoted by businesses)
