Against the backdrop of increasing momentum regarding consideration for human rights and the working environment in the supply chain, as well as expansion of the group's business, we formulated the "Ryohin Keikaku Environment, Labor and Safety Management guidelines" in 2007 for the group and its business partners. In 2015, to further strengthen our activities, we formulated the "Basic Policy on Environment, Labor and Safety of Ryohin Keikaku" based on the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the ILO Declaration of Human Rights and revised the "Ryohin Keikaku Environment, Labor and Safety Management" guidelines along with it.

Requests for corporate CSR engagement are changing day by day, and to build good relationships based on mutual trust and to fulfill our responsibilities for giving consideration to a fair, safe, and appropriate working environment and natural environment throughout the supply chain, we renamed these guidelines as the "Code of Conduct for Production Partners" (hereinafter "Code of Conduct") and established the Code of Conduct in July 2020; we only contract with factories that pledge to comply with these standards. We conduct working environment monitoring at our business partner factories in accordance with the Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct covers the following matters, satisfying the relevant laws and regulations and taking into account international treaties and standards. The Code of Conduct will be revised in line with international standards.
