Stakeholder Engagement upon the Establishment of the “Kirin Group Human Rights Policy”.

In reviewing our human rights policy, we exchanged opinions with human rights experts in their respective areas of expertise and with the relevant officers. The opinions of the human rights experts were received and incorporated into this policy. The opinions are listed below.

Item	Opinions
About Human Rights Due Diligence Assessments	Although it mentions local communities broadly, it does not go so far as to cover the human rights situation at the national level, and I think we can make the most of what we have learned in Myanmar by including such perspectives. This is also a point that is relevant to human rights DD, and I believe that consideration of the human rights of local communities should be fully addressed in the Human Rights Policy. I agree with your approach that emphasizes engagement.
About positive impacts	I respect that Kirin is trying to create positive impacts on human rights. Although it states at the beginning that it aims for positive impacts, I don't see a specific impact. It would be difficult to understand if you were to jump directly to making positive impacts on society, but I think it would be easier to understand contextually if you start with creating a positive impact from the employees who are closest to the company.
Reflecting the Content of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights	I think one point that is a bit disconcerting from a stakeholder's perspective is that it does not sufficiently include the UNGPs’ requirement that businesses prevent, reduce and address the most serious negative human rights impacts. As a stakeholder, I recommend that the perspective on how to address each issue, including collaboration with business partners, be elaborated on.
