Keyence Corp. (Keyence), an electronics equipment manufacturer, ranks 45th out of 60 companies. Compared to 2020, the company improved its score by one point. This is because the company updated its supplier code to include freedom of association and collective bargaining, as well as a prohibition on the charging of recruitment fees to workers – although this policy stops short of stating that the costs of recruitment should be borne by the employer (”Employer Pays Principle”). The company discloses limited information on the internal team responsible for human rights in supply chains. The company is encouraged to improve its performance and disclosure on themes such as Traceability & Risk Assessment, Worker Voice, and Monitoring.
