Promotion of Diversity
We actively promote the creation of environments where everyone can work in fair conditions and with a sense of fulfillment as a member of society. Since our founding, we have cherished the belief that human potential is limitless as well as the idea that all of us can change, grow, and find a place to shine. Respecting diverse values and giving importance to the individuality of each person, including their race, nationality, gender, age, possible disability, and workstyle, we aim to build an organization that leverages diversity and to realize a society where everyone can experience the joy of work.
Diversity and Inclusion Promotion System
In accordance with our commitment to fostering a supportive organizational culture, encouraging an appetite for growth, and respecting diversity, in 2021 we established the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Promotion Group, which actively hires people with disabilities, establishes workplace environments compatible with diversity, and furthers in-house understanding of D&I. To create workplaces where people with disabilities can work with peace of mind, we have introduced a leave system for regular hospital visits and set up a dedicated consultation desk. We are also encouraging appropriate consideration for people with disabilities through the creation of a guidebook on the reasonable accommodations that can be made for such employees.

Equal Employment Opportunities
We do not discriminate in hiring on the basis of race, nationality, gender, or sexual orientation. Rather, hiring standards are based only on abilities and aptitudes, and we promote the recruitment and utilization of diverse personnel. To ensure equal opportunities for employment, we have adopted our own entry sheet format that eliminates items that could lead to discriminatory hiring practices. -
Initiatives to Enhance D&I Literacy
To enhance understanding of diversity and inclusion (D&I), we conduct e-learning training programs. These programs aim to deepen understanding not only of disabilities but also of the diversity of each individual, thereby invigorating the entire organization. -
Scheduled Hospital Leave System
As part of our efforts to create an environment where people with disabilities can continue working with peace of mind, we have introduced the Scheduled Hospital Leave System. This system is available to employees who hold a disability certificate and allows them to take one day of paid leave per month for medical visits. It is designed to support the balance between work and treatment by reducing the burden of regular hospital visits, encouraging long-term career continuity, and fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can work in their own way. -
Recognized as “Advance” Rank at the D&I Award 2024
The D&I Award is one of Japan’s largest awards recognizing companies that are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion. Its evaluation covers a wide range of criteria, focusing on five key areas: gender gap, LGBT, disability, multicultural coexistence, and childcare/nursing care. In addition, companies are assessed on their D&I policies, employee training and awareness programs, efforts to promote flexible workstyles, and initiatives to improve work-life balance.
In the 2024 announcement, our initiatives were highly evaluated, and we were recognized as “Advance,” the second-highest rank. We will continue to strengthen our efforts to create an environment where diverse talent can thrive and to further advance our commitment to D&I.
