Message of the Executive Officer in Charge
With the globalization of corporate activities in recent years, there has been increasing concern regarding the importance and necessity of respecting human rights. Respect for human rights is essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and is said to be a fundamental responsibility of companies.
In light of this situation, the Toyal Group has not only signed the United Nations Global Compact, but also established the Toyal Group Human Rights Policy in order to further strengthen the group’s collective efforts to respect human rights by respecting international human rights norms, including the International Bill of Human Rights and the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The Toyal Group engages in business activities under the slogan “Join Together to Shape the Future” and as a good corporate citizen, the group’s management philosophy is to take advantage of the excellent properties of aluminium for the benefit of the global community. We recognize that a respect for human rights is fundamental to our business activities, and we will continue our efforts with the basic principles of contributing to a sustainable society based on this spirit.
In addition, we will continue to make this policy known both internally and externally, and will fulfill our responsibility to respect human rights as expected of a company by engaging in dialogue and consultation with stakeholders through compliance and implementation in all our business activities.
Establishing a human rights policy is not the end of the journey. We will continue to carry out human rights due diligence to identify, prevent, and mitigate any negative impacts on human rights and strive for continuous improvement.
