Initiatives and statements regarding modern slavery by the International Career Support Association, the Japanese Society of Natural Medicine, and related organizations

Modern slavery is a brutal form of organized crime in which people are treated as commodities and exploited for criminal profit. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that 21 million men, women and children, including trafficked persons, are working in conditions of modern slavery. The majority of these people are in legitimate industry supply chains.

The International Career Support Association and the Japanese Society of Natural Medicine and related organizations are committed to working within their own business and supply chains to address hidden labor exploitation and proactively reduce these practices in the broader supply chain. We are working to ensure that we implement a comprehensive approach.

Modern slavery resources
Our organization and its associated organizations must submit a statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 explaining the steps taken to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains. is required. The statement can be viewed below. We have also summarized our organization's statement in a short document highlighting the key activities we are undertaking.

Our risk assessment revealed that the most significant risks from a modern slavery perspective arise in the sourcing of raw materials and subcontracting. Therefore, we have developed guidance for suppliers that sets out the legal framework in this area and the requirements of the International Career Support Association and the Japanese Society of Natural Medicine and related organizations.
