All this seem to qualify as 'Conducting research':

"Toshiba Group performed a human rights impact assessment for each business, in collaboration with BSR, to better understand how our business activities impact human rights and to recognise what should be prioritised." (p. 3)

"We understand the importance of performing periodic impact assessments to respect human rights and will continue to perform assessments in approximately 3-year cycles." (p. 4)

"Toshiba Group has a risk management structure, the Risk Management System (RMS), for responding to various risks, including those related to business and compliance. As a part of the RMS, we undertake an annual Human Rights Risk Assessment Program (RAP), based on the results of the human rights impact assessment, in accordance with the UNGPs and laws and guidelines on human rights and labour practices. " (p .4)

"Our Human Resources & Administration Division is responsible for conducting the assessment and uses gap analysis to monitor the implementation of human rights initiatives." (p .4)

"We conduct an annual sustainable supply chain survey and monitoring in accordance with the Toshiba Group Procurement Policy. In FY2022, we surveyed 12,622 companies, covering human rights, health and safety, the environment, ethics, and BCP."
