Orbray is committed to developing technology and manufacturing products through the mutual support of employees and all stakeholders, guided by our core value of “one company, one family.”
Throughout our business activities, Orbray aims to contribute positively to local communities and society at large, working to foster a prosperous future for all. Respect for human rights, based on our recognition of the inherent dignity and fundamental freedoms each individual is born with, forms the cornerstone of our business practices.
To advance this commitment, Orbray declares our respect for the human rights of all individuals involved in our activities and has established this human rights policy to guide our efforts.
Approach to human rights
Orbray understands and respects the fundamental human rights stipulated in the “International Bill of Human Rights”* and the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) “Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work” as a set of minimum requirements. We also support the United Nations’ “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights” and conduct our business activities based on these principles.
We respect and comply with the laws and regulations applicable in the countries and regions in which we conduct business activities. When internationally recognized human rights standards differ from the laws of the country or region in which we conduct our business, we will adopt the higher standard. When there is a conflict between the two, we will pursue ways to respect internationally recognized human rights to the maximum extent possible.
*Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)
