Basic Policy

We have stipulated our basic policies regarding Diversity and Inclusion in the Basic Policy on Corporate Governance, Sustainability Policy, and Human Rights Policy. We have also established the Guidelines for Support of Women’s Development and Advancement as our policy on promotion of women's development and advancement.
We have posted these basic policies in our internal HR portal website and continue to inform and cultivate the policies for all employees through activities such as explanations during internal training programs.

◆ Basic Policy on Corporate Governance (Excerpt)

Based on the belief that employees are the source of new values and the Group's sustainable growth, we aim to maximize organizational performance by creating workplace environments in which team members with diversity in every respect, including race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, age, disability, nationality, national origin, social origin, and professional background, can coexist, mutually respect one another, and actively demonstrate their individual abilities at their very best. (Article 10)

◆ Sustainability Policy (Excerpt)

We embrace diversity and acknowledge its importance in creating new value. We will promote Diversity and Inclusion as a source of sustainable growth within the Group. (Article 3)

◆ Human Rights Policy (Excerpt)

We aim to build workplaces where team members with diverse attributes, values, and experiences can coexist and mutually respect one another, and where individuals can work confidently with a sense of growth and fulfillment as they elevate each other and demonstrate their capabilities to the full. (Article 8)

Promoting Employment of People with Disabilities

We engage in a range of initiatives to promote the employment of people with disabilities.
Many employees with disabilities work at the Marunouchi Head Office and the Saitama Office, a “model workplace for disabled employees” aimed at enabling people with disabilities to learn, grow and contribute to society through their work.
At the Marunouchi Head Office, we mainly provide jobs such as cleaning and sterilization of the cafeteria and meeting rooms. At the Saitama Office, in addition to cleaning and sterilization of the cafeteria and training and accommodation facilities, the jobs include maintaining greenery on company premises, and producing business cards, including for the Group companies. We assign guidance staff to each workplace to respect the individuality and potential of each employee with a disability, innovate and improve how they work, and to foster their growth in a way that promotes a sense of fulfillment and job satisfaction.
We also accept the internship of students from local schools for special needs education, actively hold events such as company tours, and support the employment of students attending schools for special needs education, such as by motivating them to work at a company through these activities.
