Respect for Human Rights

Basic Approach to Human Rights

The MGC Group supports international human rights standards such as the UN Global Compact, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

The MGC Group respects everyone's dignity and rights. It does not discriminate on any grounds, including but not limited to pedigree, nationality, race, ethnicity, beliefs, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, personal interests, educational attainment, pregnancy, language, economic background and political views.

Promotion of Respect for Human Rights

MGC promotes respect for human rights mainly through its Diversity and Inclusion Promotion Expert Committee (administrative staffing for which is provided by the Administrative & Personnel Division's D&I Promotion Group). An advisory body of the CSR Council (made up of directors and chaired by MGC's president), the Diversity and Inclusion Promotion Expert Committee reports to the CSR Council through the CSR Conference Secretariat.

The Administrative & Personnel Division's D&I Promotion Group carries out initiatives to promote everyday respect for human rights (e.g., educating about/raising awareness of human rights, addressing human rights issues).
