Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) helps to realize job satisfaction and ease of work, and to create a foundation that opens up business prospects from diverse perspectives. We believe that the promotion of D&I is necessary to connect with society through services that bring smiles to the faces of our stakeholders and to pass on a prosperous future to the next generation.
To create an environment that promotes D&I, we believe it is essential to step up awareness, which can be expressed in four key phrases: ease of work, job satisfaction, employee ownership, and employee engagement. We will work on these issues as the core of D&I and all other human resources strategy.
By establishing an in-house environment for diversity & inclusion where employees with different experiences, knowledge, perspectives, and values can work and accept their individuality and differences, we will create a powerful management organization that can increase our knowledge and ideas, curb the risks posed by social changes, and lead to the creation of new social value.
