Japan Association of Corporate Directors

Considering a serious case of alleged sexual misconduct involving Fuji Television Network, Inc., the Japan Association of Corporate Directors (JACD) has issued a proposal emphasizing the need to embed respect for human rights as a core management priority. The proposal highlights failures in internal control and corporate governance and calls for the ongoing implementation of human rights due diligence. JACD advocates a shift in corporate culture from moral idealism to systemic responsibility, driven by top-down leadership and aligned with global standards.
