Diversity

Approach to diversity

The NAGASE Group believes that diversity is an important part of overall corporate strategy. To nimbly respond to changes in the environment, we need to ensure we have human resources with a wide variety of ideas and perspectives, both in Japan and overseas. Having a diverse range of employees encourages more dynamic discussions and leads to new ideas that become the source of competitive advantage in the market. This in turn leads to the growth of both the NAGASE Group and each individual employee.

Empowering women in the workplace

We regard the success of female employees as one of its important initiatives to promote diversity. To date, we have made efforts to proactively utilize women's strengths in our business by hiring women in career-track positions, appointing them to management positions, and expanding opportunities for them to play active roles.

To support the activities of senior employees, we have introduced a "part-time reemployment system" after retirement.
