Diversity and Inclusion

For the group to continually enhance its corporate value, it is essential that every employee has diverse experience, skills, and ways of thinking, and that they can add value by demonstrating their individuality and capabilities. Although we extended the retirement age in 2021, we have not set a fixed retirement age for each position, and the treatment of employees regardless of age remains unchanged. In order to achieve diversity and inclusion, the group will focus on fostering a comfortable workplace culture, raising awareness, and building systems that embrace diverse attributes, values, and working styles, including ethnicity, religion, faith, gender, sexual orientation/gender identity, nationality, age, place of origin, educational background, or physical or mental disability.

The group aims to be an organization in which diverse human resources can play an active role regardless of race or nationality. Currently, regions outside Japan account for approximately 50% of the group’s revenue, and roughly half of our employees are non-Japanese. To secure and nurture human resources who can work globally, we are committed to creating a work environment where employees of different nationalities, religions, and lifestyles can cooperate and demonstrate their individuality, experience, skills, and other abilities.

We are committed to facilitating the employment of people with disabilities. When hiring people with disabilities, securing an appropriate employment opportunity that takes their specific circumstances into consideration is something we take very seriously. We make decisions about work locations and duties after talking with each employee about the nature of their disability and their areas of expertise. We will continue

In order to create a work environment where people from different backgrounds can respect each other and make the most of their abilities, we are moving forward with initiatives to promote proper understanding, awareness, and unbiased treatment of LGBT employees and other minority groups through internal measures such as posting information on intranet bulletin boards and conducting harassment prevention training. In our Charter of Corporate Behavior and the Code of Conduct for Executives and Employees, the group clearly states that it will not engage in any conduct that infringes on human rights, such as discriminatory behavior related to sexual orientation or gender identity.
