Stance on Diversity
The Tokyo Seimitsu Group believes that people inspiring each other on the basis of diverse perspectives and ideas can create new value and achieve synergies that exceed the sum of individual abilities. We are committed to eliminating acts of discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, country of origin, or disabilities, as well as to creating workplaces where diverse human resources can work in a safe and healthy environment.
Our goal is to build a work environment in which the individuality of each member of the workforce is respected and employees can work actively with a sense of fulfillment while bringing the best out of themselves.
In order to increase the number of women in core positions, we consider it an urgent priority to hire more female regular employees and improve our work environment. We have the "Action Plan for Promoting Employment and Careers of Women" (FY2021 - FY2025) in place, which sets the targets to be achieved by the end of FY2025.
-
Percentage of female employee hires (regular employees) 20%
-
Percentage of female employees (regular employees) 10%
We are also committed to raising awareness in the Company toward active participation by female employees and supporting them.
