Human Rights Policy & Ethical Conduct Statement

1. Our Commitment At KyotoBrand Inc., we are committed to respecting and upholding fundamental human rights across all aspects of our business operations. Inspired by global frameworks—including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights—we maintain an uncompromising standard against modern slavery, forced labor, human trafficking, and child labor. As a pre-loved fashion boutique, our dedication to sustainability extends beyond circular consumption to the ethical treatment of every individual within our network.

2. Scope & Application This policy governs our corporate operations, digital platforms, retail environments, and all third-party partnerships, including:

  • Vendor & Supply Chain Code: All partners providing authentication, software, logistics, packaging, cleaning, and administrative services must strictly adhere to fair labor standards, safe working conditions, and legal minimum wage requirements.

  • Pre-Loved Sourcing & Circular Ecosystem: We conduct reasonable due diligence across our secondhand supply channels to ensure our resale operations do not directly or indirectly support systemic labor exploitation or illegal trade.

  • Internal Workplace Standards: We maintain an inclusive, safe, and equitable working environment for all direct employees and contractors, free from discrimination, harassment, and unsafe working hours.

3. Due Diligence, Compliance & Reporting

  • Partner Auditing: We evaluate supply chain risks and reserve the right to terminate relationships with vendors or logistics partners who fail to comply with our human rights expectations.

  • Whistleblowing & Grievance: Employees, partners, and customers who observe or suspect potential labor rights violations within our supply or operational networks are encouraged to report them to management at hr@kiotobrand.com. All reports are handled with confidentiality and protected against retaliation.

4. Governance KyotoBrand Inc. management holds primary oversight for this policy, reviewing and updating our ethical guidelines annually to align with evolving legal and international human rights standards.
