To meet diversifying customer needs, create innovation and respond to impending changes in the external environment, it is essential to secure human resources, including women, with diverse attributes, sensibilities, abilities, values and experiences, and to create an environment that allows all of them to maximize their abilities.
To take advantage of this diversity of attributes and maximize the capabilities of individual human resources, the Group has introduced a flextime system and is actively introducing a telework system for some operations, in order to promote flexible work styles.
Approaches for ensuring diversity, human resource development policies and internal environment improvement policies for ensuring diversity, and their status
Recognizing that the diversification of human resources and the development and securing of such human resources will contribute to enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term, the Group actively recruits women, foreigners and midcareer hires.
Currently, midcareer hires are fully promoted to management positions on the basis of a comprehensive assessment of their skills, experience, etc. However, the Group recognizes that the promotion of women to management positions is still lagging. Therefore, to ensure sustainable corporate growth, the Group will make further efforts to develop its human resources and improve its internal environment, with the aim of raising the percentage of women in management positions, as human resources who will play central roles in the Group in the future.
Voluntary and measurable goals for ensuring diversity and their status
- Percentage of women in management positions
The percentage of women in management positions as of March 31, 2025 is 4.8%. The Company’s goal is to increase the percentage of women in management positions by continuing its efforts to promote women’s active engagement and actively promote women to management positions.
- Percentage of foreigners in management positions
The percentage of foreigners in management positions as of March 31, 2025 is 4.8%. The Company’s policy is to recruit human resources regardless of nationality as long as they have the necessary skills and abilities, and the goal is to increase the percentage of foreigners in management positions through active promotion of global human resources in the future.
- Percentage of midcareer hires in management positions
The percentage of midcareer hires in management positions as of March 31, 2025 is 90.5%. Because the Company has long had a large number of midcareer hires and a high percentage of midcareer hires in management positions, no specific goal has been set for the future.
