Osotspa has carried out a Human Rights Risk Assessment (HRRA). The scope of inspection and identification of relevant human rights issues has been determined for all factories and operating areas. The Osotspa Group has conducted the assessment every three years with the primary goal of identifying, preventing, and mitigating potential human rights risks through the implementation of corrective measures within the organization to the conduct of business activities throughout the supply chain to ensure that there is no violation of human rights and that potential risks are managed in a timely manner.
Osotspa conducts a human rights risk assessment by identifying and prioritizing each risk issue based on risk occurrence, severity, scope, and remedial capacity using a risk assessment table.
By implementing this guideline, the Company will be able to prioritize and manage human rights risks based on their severity. Issues with a high level of impact and likelihood of occurrence will be identified as high-risk, and the Company will manage to prevent the occurrence of these issues as soon as possible in order to reduce the risk severity and/or likelihood that may occur, as well as continuously monitoring the implementation s progress.

In line with this commitment, a comprehensive series of capacity-building programs has been carried out since February 2023. The Key Program Objectives is to:
1. Integration of HRDD Process: We are resolutely integrating the Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) process into every facet of our business and value chain. By doing so, we're embedding a culture of human rights considerations at the very core of our operations.
2. Understanding Human Rights and Right Holders: Empowerment begins with understanding. Our programs foster a deep comprehension of human rights and the critical role of right holders. This knowledge equips our team to navigate the complex landscape of human rights with precision.
3. Addressing Modern Practices: In today's rapidly evolving landscape, we're proactively addressing contemporary challenges. Our initiatives confront modern practices and working conditions such as forced labor, discrimination, and harassment. This approach ensures our practices remain in harmony with our enduring values.
This program has been conducted to empower the Human Rights Working Team and designated personnel with the knowledge and tools essential for integrating human rights considerations seamlessly into Osotspa's operations.
This movement marks a pivotal starting point for Osotspa's journey in conducting human rights due diligence. By initiating this process, Osotspa is taking proactive steps to identify, prevent, and mitigate potential human rights impacts within its sphere of influence. This approach underscores Osotspa's dedication to fostering a business environment that not only ensures operational success but also respects and safeguards the rights and dignity of all individuals connected to its operations.
