Promotion of Female Empowerment

Acquisition of “Kurumin” Certification

In May 2025, we have been granted the Kurumin certification by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare as a “childcare support company” that works on balancing work and childcare.
We have developed systems including childcare and caregiver support, remote work, flexible working hours, etc., and made the system known so that employees can work in a pleasant workplace. We have also conducted enlightenment activities and raised awareness to create an environment that will enable employees to take childcare leave. This has led to the increase in the rate of childcare leave and others.
Our goal is to have the childcare leave percentage to reach 100% for both male and female employees by 2030. We will continue to make efforts to create a workplace and foster an organizational climate so that diverse human resources can fully demonstrate their abilities.

Acquisition of “Eruboshi” Certification

In March 2026, we have been granted the Eruboshi certification (Level 2) by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare as a company promoting women’s active engagement in professional life. Our company respects the diverse values and background of each employee and has promoted systems and initiatives to foster diversity. These include creating a workplace environment where each employee can maximize their abilities, supporting career development, promoting flexible working hours and maintaining the ratio of women among new hires at 30% or higher. These efforts have been recognized, leading to our achievement of acquiring the Eruboshi certification.
We will continue to promote DEIB and strive to create a workplace environment and foster a culture where all employees can work thrive and excel.
