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 working 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 following 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.

Hiring of Foreign Nationals and Mid-career Workers
Mid-career workers are an indispensable part of our workforce. Also, we hire competent human resources, without regard for their nationalities. These mid-career workers and workers with foreign nationalities play major roles in bringing diverse perspectives and ideas and achieving close collaboration with overseas partners.
Among the managers of Tokyo Seimitsu, employees with foreign nationalities account for 1.5%, and mid-career employees 41.3%.
