When the local laws of the regions in which we operate conflict with internationally agreed human rights standards, YUSHIN will pursue ways to adhere to the international standards to the fullest possible extent.

(7) Relief
YUSHIN affirms we will never knowingly violate the human rights of others. Should we learn of any instances of our business activities causing or fomenting negative impacts to others, YUSHIN will take appropriate corrective measures consistent with the Policy.
If business partners of YUSHIN are linked directly with adverse effects on human rights, YUSHIN will cooperate with stakeholders to take improvement steps in accordance with our commitment to respecting human rights.
When prioritization is required, YUSHIN will prioritize and address the most serious impacts on human rights in consideration of the scale, scope, and degree of difficulty for correction and redress.
