Participation in Initiatives

UN Global Compact

Teijin Limited joined the UN Global Compact* in March 2011 by a decision of the Board of Directors. Participation in this global initiative for sustainable development is voluntary. Participating companies are required to follow the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact relating to "human rights," "labor," "environment" and "anti-corruption." As a global company, in order to practically implement high-quality CSR management, in FY2011, the Teijin Group reviewed its Corporate Code of Conduct and Corporate Standards of Conduct based on the principles of the UN Global Compact. In addition, in terms of business activities, we clarified policies to practically implement the basic principles such as respecting human rights. Furthermore the Teijin Group has revised its previous Corporate Code of Conduct and Standards of Conduct to the Code of Conduct to clarify the Group's engagement with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UN Global Compact and other frameworks in accordance with changes in the social environment in June 2018. Our new Code of Conduct now includes the statement, "Integrity: We act with integrity in compliance with laws and regulations, and show respect for human rights and local communities in which we operate." Additionally, in March 2019, we established the Teijin Group Human Rights Policy. Under this policy, we pledge to endeavor not to be involved directly-or to be complicit indirectly by way of external affiliates-in any kind of human rights violations in our business activities, in recognition of the fact that respect for human rights is an important social responsibility to be fulfilled as a company.

Declaration of Support for UNICEF's Children's Rights in Sport Principles

In February 2019, the Teijin Group officially endorsed the Children's Rights in Sport Principles put forward by UNICEF and the Japan Committee for UNICEF. In the context of worldwide problems, that sports have a negative impact on children, such as violent coaching and excessive training that do not take account of children's mental and physical development, these principles were established on November 20, 2018, to build a society that supports the healthy growth and development of children and contributes to promoting the rights of children. The Teijin Group has developed materials and products for the field of sports, sponsored the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament as part of our CSR activities, and supported soccer clinics at Teijin Polyester (Thailand) Limited. In ways such as these, we are working to aid in the development of young people through sports, and to protect children's rights to ensure that they are not negatively impacted by sports.
