Human Rights Due Diligence
Amano Corporation is working to develop a human rights due diligence system in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Human rights due diligence is an ongoing effort to identify the risks of human rights violations that accompany their business activities, and to prevent or mitigate them.
In order to mitigate any negative impact that the activities of Amano Corporation may have on society, we investigate and ascertain this from a preventive perspective, implement appropriate corrective measures, and publicly disclose the progress and results.
