Our Human Rights Approach

Shiseido has established the Shiseido Human Rights Policy based on the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights and its basic corporate philosophy, which is described in the group-wide code of ethical behaviors. We will contribute to the realization of a sustainable global society by promoting various efforts to respect human rights in all Shiseido Group businesses, including in the creation of our products.

Our Human Rights Approach

Shiseido Code of Conduct and Ethics

Shiseido Policy on Human Rights

It was formulated based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Shiseido Code of Conduct and Ethics. It promotes the Shiseido Group's efforts to respect human rights and sets guidelines to fulfil their responsibilities. In order to become a company trusted by consumers and societies all over the world, and to continue developing along with the global society, all our business activities are based on respect for human rights. In the policy, we declare our commitment to protecting people's rights. We respect workers' rights, such as freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, and fair remuneration, while strongly opposing human rights violations, such as human trafficking, forced labor, child labor, and discrimination. The policy was formulated in 2017, published with the approval of the Board of Directors, and revised in 2022. This policy applies to the Shiseido Group and our business partners.
