We interact with societies to contribute to the broadening and deepening of cultural wealth. Our policy is to aim for sustainable growth in corporate value by becoming a brand that promises "quality" to all stakeholders, and we are working with the understanding that the driving force behind this is human resources.
- Strengthening the human resource foundation
We recognize human capital as our most vital asset to realize our corporate philosophy and ensure the sustainability of our company. Aligning individual aspirations with our business strategy, we will strengthen the human resource foundation necessary for achieving our management goals and enhancing performance. For this purpose, we will introduce an e-learning system for all employees, provide career development training for staff, and offer leadership training for management to enhance organizational capabilities. - Promoting work styles tailored to individual lifestyles
Our company is committed to developing a work environment where all employees—regardless of age, gender, nationality, employment status, or disability—can fully demonstrate their abilities. To support diverse lifestyles, we have established flexible work arrangements such as flextime and telework. We also offer various leave and absence programs to help employees fulfill family responsibilities, including childcare and nursing care. In addition, we have introduced a special leave accumulation system that allows employees to take time off for personal health issues, caregiving, infertility treatment, child and nursing care, and social contribution activities. - Promoting Women's Empowerment and Gender Equality
In light of the current low ratio of female employees in our company, we have set a target to ensure that at least 20% of new hires will be women—exceeding the current ratio as of the end of March 2025. We will improve the overall ratio of female employees from a long-term perspective. Furthermore, we will increase the ratio of women in management positions to eventually match the overall female employee ratio, through focused cultivation and promotion initiatives.
