Human Rights Policies and Philosophy

As the value chains of global corporations expand, the international

community is ever more concerned about respect for human rights and how

business affects these rights. The automobile industry is also recognizing

the issues of human rights as they relate to its labor environment and

handling of natural resources, water and conflict minerals. Nissan considers

the strict adherence to corporate rules and applicable laws and practices

fundamental to its business activity in every country and area where

it operates. We are committed to delivering engaging, worthwhile and

sustainable mobility to people and acknowledge that, for this to be achieved,

the human rights of all stakeholders must be respected and all employees

must act while upholding the highest ethical standards. We do not

discriminate on the basis of race, nationality, gender, religion, disability, age,

place of origin, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other characteristic.

We also work to rectify and eradicate working practices that infringe human

rights throughout our entire supply chain, such as forced labor and child

labor.

Human Rights Policy Statement

As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, Nissan s respect for

human rights is informed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

and the International Labor Organization

s Declaration on Fundamental

Principles and Rights at Work.

Based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

(UNGPs), we have formulated the Nissan Human Rights Policy Statement*

to actively prevent adverse human rights impacts. This policy statement

makes our commitment to protecting human rights clear to all stakeholders

and underpins our initiatives in this area.

Human Rights Management

The Nissan Human Rights Policy Statement is applicable to all of Nissan s

executives and employees. Nissan

s fundamental ethical expectations are

also clarified in the Nissan Global Code of Conduct, and all executives and

employees recognize the importance of applying the statement beyond

Nissan

s own operations. At every level of our global supply chain, we aim to

conduct ethical, social and environmentally conscious business activities. We

also work together with suppliers, contractors and other business partners to

achieve this goal.

Since 2006, we have shared a set of common values and processes around

purchasing known as The Renault-Nissan Purchasing Way with its worldwide

network of suppliers. Common values regarding human rights and labor are

also shared via the Renault-Nissan CSR Guidelines for Suppliers, in which

we detail our expectations and request implementation regarding respect

for human rights and prohibition of child labor and forced labor. In addition,

we require businesses we deal with to take the initiative on responsible

procurement of minerals and carry out due diligence on conflict minerals.

We are also strengthening communication with our sales companies and

promoting consistent sustainability management, including on human rights

issues.

At the same time, we have deployed the SpeakUp system, a globally

consistent system that allows not only employees but also other

stakeholders as well to report matters internally.

Human Rights Achievements

Nissan recognizes the need to take a comprehensive approach to managing

human rights. After identifying actual or potential risks related to human

rights that we might have inadvertently caused or contributed to, we consider

it vital to monitor and assess such risks, as well as to develop appropriate

response strategies.

In the 2001 Nissan Global Code of Conduct, we detailed our policies

regarding equal opportunity and respect for diversity. In 2004 we were

a frontrunner among our industry peers in signing the United Nations

Global Compact, accepting reporting obligations that we continue to fulfill

today. Regarding suppliers, in 2010 we published the Renault-Nissan

CSR Guidelines for Suppliers, clarifying our respect for human rights

and commitment to eliminating forced and child labor and sharing our

sustainability policies.

In 2017, referencing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human

Rights (UNGPs), we formulated and issued the Nissan Human Rights Policy

Statement. This policy makes it clear that, we respect all our stakeholders

human rights, and require our employees to act according to the highest

ethical standards.

In June 2018, we launched our new sustainability strategy, Nissan

Sustainability 2022, specifying the main goals through fiscal 2022 for the

aspects of Environmental, Social and Governance. For the Social aspect, the

strategy also reiterates the importance of respecting all stakeholders

rights.

In 2018, we cooperated with Business for Social Responsibility (BSR),

a US organization promoting sustainability to implement a human rights

assessment, allowing us to identify four key areas of potential risk related to

human rights, namely supplier labor conditions, employee labor conditions,

product safety and customer privacy*

. Furthermore, in 2019 we worked with

BSR to conduct a human rights assessment at Nissan South Africa (Pty) and

confirmed human rights risk was clearly low at that company. We formulated

an action plan to remediate items requiring improvement and have been

implementing a PDCA (plan, do, check, act) cycle in this area from fiscal

2020. We plan to expand our human rights assessment reviews of affiliated

companies in the Asian area going forward.

We also work to build awareness of human rights among employees and

conduct several e-learning seminars, for example,

Global Code of Conduct

and

Unconscious Bias . Unconscious Bias e-learning is for all indirect

employees and has been completed by 15,225 people (12,687 in fiscal

2018 and 2,538 in fiscal 2019). In addition, a total of 350 people have taken

part in our LGBT seminars, held annually since fiscal 2014. Since fiscal

2016, all senior managers have been required to take an e-learning program

about LGBT issues. In fiscal 2020 the content of the e-learning program has

been updated and made mandatory training for managers and staff. We also

have proactive initiatives to support LGBT staff.*

As described in the Nissan Global Code of Conduct, employees can submit

inquiries related to human rights issues via a global reporting system.*

are committed to investigating, addressing and responding to any concerns

reported, and employees who make inquiries are protected from any form of

retaliation.
