We also carry out risk assessments of our suppliers' manufacturing and assembly facilities to identify labor and occupational health and safety risks.
In the assessment conducted in 2023, we confirmed that there are no unacceptable risk at the manufacturing and assembly facilities of our suppliers.
The results of the risk assessments at our manufacturing sites are as follows.
