Respecting human rights
The Nippon Chemiphar Group’s business activities, from procurement to manufacturing, distribution and sales, involves overseas and well as Japan. For this reason, we must undertake to protect and respect the human rights of those not only in our Group, but also throughout our supply chain. Moreover, it is expected that we provide relief in the event that we become aware of human rights violations. The Nippon Chemiphar Group Legal Compliance Code of Conduct clearly states that the Group will respect the human rights,personality, and individuality of all employees; comply with the relevant laws and regulations; and respect diverse cultures and customs. By so doing, we share the importance of respect for human rights.
1. Basic Concept
As we understand that all our business activities stand on respecting human rights, we pursue our business philosophy “to make a difference in society by providing pharmaceutical drugs and health-related services to help people become and remain healthy” by setting “Nippon Chemiphar Group Human Rights Policy” as a basic policy to respect the human rights of all parties concerned. When we refer saying, “people”, it means anyone around the globe with human rights whose personality needs to be respected - without discrimination of their gender, nationality, race, thought/belief, religion, educational background or disabilities and support them through our pharmaceutical drugs and health-related services. We believe this thought will remain unchanged, regardless of how times and society change.
