Shimizu pursues initiatives in respecting スポーツベット 市場規模 aimed at being “a company that values people,” as stated in the Code of Corporate Ethics and Conduct. We formulated the Shimizu Group Basic スポーツベット 市場規模 Policy in December 2018 as a guide to fulfilling this responsibility, in line with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and スポーツベット 市場規模. As a group company with operations around the globe, we aim to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as manage our business by recognizing and addressing relevant environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. In order to fulfill our responsibility toward a sustainable society, we consider スポーツベット 市場規模 issues from various perspectives.

スポーツベット 市場規模 Education Promotion Structure
Under the Sustainability Committee chaired by the President, we have established the Companywide スポーツベット 市場規模 Education Promotion Committee. This committee formulates and implements the annual policy and specific companywide measures in line with the Shimizu Group Basic スポーツベット 市場規模 Policy. Decisions made by the Company-wide スポーツベット 市場規模 Education Promotion Committee are implemented under the supervision of Division スポーツベット 市場規模 Education Promotion Committees by employees specifically tasked with スポーツベット 市場規模 promotion at each division. Group companies also work with Shimizu on rolling out various スポーツベット 市場規模 initiatives.

Shimizu Group executives and employees are distributed handbooks aimed at deepening their understanding of スポーツベット 市場規模. The handbook is a compilation of information on the Shimizu Group's basic スポーツベット 市場規模 policy, スポーツベット 市場規模 education promotion structure, various スポーツベット 市場規模 issues, and fair recruitment selection.
スポーツベット 市場規模 Week Events
To heighten awareness of スポーツベット 市場規模, we hold a series of events during スポーツベット 市場規模 Week in December of each year. These events include an awards ceremony to recognize the best slogans for raising awareness of スポーツベット 市場規模, employee training, and production and display of posters that raise awareness of スポーツベット 市場規模. スポーツベット 市場規模 awareness-raising slogans are solicited from the entire Group, including Group companies, and we received 3,412 entries from employees and their families in fiscal 2024.
Internal Whistleblowing System
Per the Basic スポーツベット 市場規模 Policy, which stipulates that “Where we identify that we have caused or contributed to an adverse impact on スポーツベット 市場規模, we work to provide appropriate remedy,” shimizu has established a system for company officers and employees (including temporary employees) to contact an external expert via email for consultation on or reporting of workplace harassment and other issues. When a user seeks a specific resolution, the wishes of the user are confirmed based on the report from the expert, and the company takes the appropriate steps as required. Whistleblowers will not be subjected to disadvantageous treatment for seeking consultation and reporting a problem. Whistleblowers information is kept highly confidential. When the company responds as necessary based on a consultation or report, we maintain strict confidentiality of the user, the information provided, and other pertinent information.
We have also set up an external whistleblowing hotline for subcontractors on our website via which employees of subcontractors can report or get help concerning unlawful acts by parties related to Shimizu or the Shimizu Group. Measures are in place to prevent whistleblowers suffering from disadvantage. Anonymous reports are also accepted.
Shimizu Group Basic Policy on Customer Harassment
The Shimizu Group believes that ensuring a positive workplace environment—one in which the スポーツベット 市場規模 of officers and employees (hereinafter referred to as “employees, etc.”) are respected—is essential to earning client trust and providing high-quality services and products.While we remain committed to sincerely listening to client feedback, we have established this basic policy to guide our response if employees, etc. are subject to socially unacceptable demands or language/behavior from clients or others.
Due Diligence on スポーツベット 市場規模
From the sustainability standpoint of our business, we are promoting スポーツベット 市場規模 due diligence, identifying, preventing, and mitigating adverse impacts on スポーツベット 市場規模. We also call for our supply chain to support the Shimizu Group スポーツベット 市場規模 Policy, and we engage in a wide range of efforts.
Previous Initiatives
FY 2019
Shimizu conducted a fact-finding survey of スポーツベット 市場規模 risks for foreign technical trainees and other foreign workers who work at construction sites in the construction business, which is Shimizu's main business. This survey was conducted in light of the many reports of スポーツベット 市場規模 infringements relating to foreign technical trainees and students studying abroad. We worked together with a third-party institution to ensure objectivity and neutrality in conducting surveys at 10 subcontractors with which Shimizu does business. The fact-finding survey consisted of interviewing business owners, verifying documentation, interviewing foreign workers*1, and verifying their living environment. A survey showed that there were no major スポーツベット 市場規模 risks, but it did reveal issues such as employment regulations not being available to foreign technical trainees in their native language.
FY 2020
In response to the results of the survey conducted in fiscal 2019, we raised awareness of matters required by law and operational guidelines for hiring technical trainees from abroad and matters requiring improvement by publishing them on a dedicated website for subcontractors and providing training. A third-party institution was also retained to survey and analyze スポーツベット 市場規模 risks for workers who work at construction sites in the main countries and regions where Shimizu operates overseas. The third-party institution evaluated スポーツベット 市場規模 risks in each country. The evaluation identified five countries in which a high level of スポーツベット 市場規模 risk exists and where Shimizu is expected to have ongoing business operations or will focus on in the future. The five countries identified were China, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The survey confirmed a high level of スポーツベット 市場規模 risks, including as child labor, forced labor, and improper payment of wages.
FY 2021
We conducted a survey among our major subcontractors*2 1,297 companies in Japan on accepting technical trainees from abroad. The results of the survey revealed that 118 companies employ technical trainees from abroad in their companies, and we obtained responses from these 118 companies regarding the status of their acceptance of technical trainees. Although we were able to confirm that each company was properly accepting these trainees for the most part, some needed to make corrections or improvements to their contracts with respect to responsibility for supervision fees and return flight costs, penalties, and compensation for damages.

FY 2022
Based on the results of the survey on accepting technical interns from abroad, we worked to prevent and mitigate スポーツベット 市場規模 risks by raising awareness of matters requiring correction or improvement and best practices through training for subcontractors.
FY 2023
We visited the business sites of group companies that accept foreign technical trainees and conducted reviews and interviews regarding their contracts and working conditions, confirming that the trainees are being accepted appropriately.
FY 2024
For granite and timber (formwork plywood), materials for which international organizations have raised concerns about forced and child labor, we conducted a traceability survey to verify whether any スポーツベット 市場規模 violations occurred in the supply chain from raw material extraction through delivery to work sites. The survey confirmed that no スポーツベット 市場規模 violations were identified.
Initiatives at overseas construction sites
We are also actively engaged in スポーツベット 市場規模 due diligence activities at overseas construction sites. We carry out スポーツベット 市場規模 due diligence initiatives for employees of foreign nationality by putting up illustrated posters and holding local workshops that encourage respect for スポーツベット 市場規模, which includes rejecting child labor, forced labor, inappropriate wages, and other スポーツベット 市場規模 violations.

Activities of the construction and real estate スポーツベット 市場規模 Due Diligence Study Group
We participate in the construction and real estate スポーツベット 市場規模 Due Diligence Study Group, which was established by eight general contractors and developers in 2018. In addition to promoting collaborative initiatives with other companies, we share information on individual initiatives and positive examples to address スポーツベット 市場規模 issues common to the industry, such as using sustainable concrete form material and technical trainees from abroad at construction sites. Moreover, to deepen real estate developers understanding of スポーツベット 市場規模 issues among foreign technical intern trainees, we actively interact by letting them attend to our interviews conducted with subcontractors.
