The King Jim Group upholds fundamental human rights, respects people as human beings, and does not conduct acts that degrade individual dignity. That is clearly stipulated in our Compliance Program, which is made known to those within the group using the internal network, e-mails, and files for internal viewing.
Respecting each other’s fundamental human rights is our obligation, regardless of whether it concerns internal or external company matters or whether one is another person’s superior or subordinate. We notify all members of the group of this obligation to ensure that acts of unjust, discriminatory treatment and those that will degrade the dignity of others are not conducted.
The King Jim Group strictly prohibits abuse of power, sexual harassment, psychological abuse, or any other kinds of harassment or abuse in our workplaces. This includes insulting attitudes towards other employees, harassment, verbal or physical violence, and other acts that may harm others physically or mentally, in addition to actions such as those above that indirectly bring about disadvantageous working conditions for other employees or may worsen the workplace environment.
There is a consultation desk for harassment-related issues at each company in the group. We strive to take the appropriate measures to solve such problems in line with the company regulations.
The King Jim Group does not limit rights concerning the freedom of association and collective bargaining. As of 2023, while no labor unions have been formed at King Jim, whenever there is a need to sign labor-management agreements, a representative is selected from among employees, and we sign said agreements after taking the appropriate procedures. At the King Jim Group, in line with the law, we not only thoroughly eliminate child and forced labor in hiring employees but also respect the concept of sustainable procurement and work to grasp whether our suppliers are using child or forced labor.
