Since, code of conduct includes modern slavery. We have considered training in relation to it as MS training.

Pg. 4

“A key initiative to address modern slavery in its supply chain is Fast Retailing's Code of Conduct for Production Partners. The code is based on the core labour standards of the ILO and sets minimum standards including for legal compliance, child and forced labour, health and safety and working conditions.”

Pg. 5

“During the Fiscal Year 2021, Fast Retailing conducted training for a total of 503 factories across 24 different countries. Training is developed to ensure Production Partners understand the Code of Conduct for Production Partners, the latest labour standards and local legal requirements and apparel industry issues, such as fire prevention safety standards, correct pay calculations for overtime work and other matters.”

The training is specifically to prevent child labour. Hence it is not considered.

Pg. 9

“Factories assessed as having a high or medium level of risk are required to be trained based on the assessment results. The content of the training for factory management includes preventive processes against child labour, best practices of preventive measures, as well as methods to deploy child labour prevention policies to factories to which they subcontract production processes.”

Pg. 10

“Throughout 2020 and 2021, Fast Retailing continued improving our understanding of migrant worker vulnerabilities and risks they face during recruitment, employment and return, particularly in the context of the continued COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, four training programs were provided by the IOM to Fast Retailing to further strengthen our responsible recruitment efforts and these will continue into 2022.”

The last point mentions responsible recruitment, but does not indicate which types of employees are provided the training. Thus I've added the answer option "Training - not specified"

"To this end, four training programs were provided by the IOM to Fast Retailing to further strengthen our responsible recruitment efforts and these will continue into 2022."
