Roadmap for Advancing Human Rights Management
Pan Ocean’s Human Rights Management Expansion and Enhancement
Management system enhancement and efficiency assessment
(2024)
Expansion of human rights risk assessments for subsidiaries and suppliers
(2025~)
(e.g. sharing cases)
Pan Ocean launched its human rights management framework in 2023 and has since maintained and enhanced the system. Starting in 2024, written assessments for human rights risks were implemented for employees to identify potentially vulnerable groups. In the first half of 2025, the scope of these assessments expanded. Pan Ocean plans to further extend these evaluations to include supply chain suppliers, with the goal of raising human rights awareness and promoting responsible practices throughout the entire value chain.
