Human Rights Basic Policy

In line with our "Philosophy" and "Orico's Sustainability Statement", Orient Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "we") strives to contribute to society by placing importance on relationships of trust and enabling our customers to lead prosperous lives. To achieve this, we have created our Human Rights Basic Policy:.

1. Philosophy

We recognize that respecting human rights is a crucial social responsibility and strive to respect human rights in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

2. Employees, Customers, and Business Partners

  1. We expect all employees to respect human rights. We prohibit child labor and forced labor. We provide equal opportunities for all employees and do not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on nationality, race, age, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, or any other grounds. We are committed to providing a safe and comfortable working environment and promoting the health and well-being of all employees. We will also create mechanisms for employees to address any concerns or issues they may have.
  2. In line with our Customer-Oriented Basic Policy, we strive to respond to customers in honest and fair manners, putting customers as our first priority. To safeguard the human rights of our customers, we implement appropriate measures to ensure that their personal information is handled responsibly and to prevent any potential negative impact on their rights.
  3. We seek understanding of this policy from our member merchants, business partners, contractors, and suppliers involved in providing goods and services, and encourages them to uphold the same respect for human rights as we do.

3. Governance

In addition to our dedicated human rights promotion office and department, we have established a Human Rights Promotion Committee to actively address and coordinate salient human rights-related risks and issues, and will create an increasingly robust framework to further promote respect for human rights. We also regularly report our human rights initiatives to the Board of Directors.
