Basic approach

As a good corporate citizen, the Taiho Group is committed to respecting human rights and complying with laws and regulations and also aims to contribute to the development of local communities through our business activities and social contribution activities. In order to build a foundation to this end, we seek to maintain and improve the workplace environment where a diverse group of employees can expect to work safely and comfortably in order to play a productive role and, out of respect for employees who are proactively taking on the challenge of making meaningful changes in their daily work, are working to establish mechanisms and an organizational climate to allow everyone to believe that this challenge can be met as a matter of course.

Respect for human rights

In order to become a company that is trusted by society, we have set forth guidelines on engaging in “conscientious conduct in accordance with good social sense”, which each and every employee of this company must endeavor to observe daily, and have fostered a corporate climate in which violations of human rights in such terms as forced labor, child labor, insufficient or unpaid wages, excessive or unfair labor hours, power harassment, sexual harassment, the violation of the rights of foreign workers, and discrimination will not be tolerated

Our strategy on human resources

We proactively give opportunities to mid-career and younger employees, recognize them when they respond positively to such opportunities, and attempt to inspire them to take on the next challenge, which in turn fuels our drive as a company.

Our policy on training employees. We aim to develop employees who possess creativity and practical skills for the development of the company and their own personal growth in accordance with our management philosophy.
Our policy on developing an internal environment. We promote the development of a comfortable workplace in which each and every employee can shine in his or her own way and grow through work, such as by being allowed to balance work and family and by working at his or her job with dreams and goals. We will also enhance the systems and programs we administer to enable each employee to independently draw up his or her own career (life) plan and play an active role within the company while pursuing self-improvement.
