To establish diversity as an integral part of our corporate culture, we periodically conduct diversity training for all employees, including those at Group companies. We are also organizing a project team called Purejo-Bu(abbreviation for Pleasure in the job)whose purpose is to create a company in which all employees can take pleasure in their work, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, culture, disability, work style, age, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity, conducting training to promote active roles for women, holding LGBT study group sessions, running childrearing and nursing care seminars, enhancing harassment consultation systems, etc. We are actively seeking to promote diversity across the company through such activities.
