  3. Governance Structure

  5. Salient Human Rights Issues for the JAE Group
    Based on input from internal and external experts, the JAE Group has systematically assessed human rights risks within the JAE Group and its value chain. These risks have been categorized into ten key areas, as outlined in the appendix. The JAE Group implements appropriate measures in these areas, conduct ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement, and work to build trust with stakeholders.
    Furthermore, taking into consideration human rights risks inherent to the industry as well as country-specific risks in the locations of the JAE Group’s business sites and business partners, the JAE Group reviewed internal interviews, human rights–related reports, and internal survey results from internal assessments. Based on this review, the following outstanding human rights issues have been identified:
    • Discrimination and Inhumane Treatment
    • Child Labor
    • Excessive Workloads and Long Working Hours
    • Occupational Safety and Health

    The JAE Group prioritizes efforts to strengthen its response to these outstanding human rights issues.
