  • The figures represent the number of consultations brought from all offices to the harassment consultation desk set up in the Company’s HR during the relevant periods. The cases were not necessarily identified by the Company as instances of actual harassment.
    We will continue to enhance training and consultation desks to raise employee awareness and create an environment that is easy for employees to consult with, and to promote enlightenment activities aimed at eliminating harassment.

The next report is scheduled for August, covering the results of 2022 Second Quarter (April-June) and the First Half (Jan-June).
