In the event of an incident of discrimination, the Group will take immediate steps to investigate the situation, acting to help the affected individual(s) and to prevent any recurrence.

Respect Employee Personality and Individuality

The NAGASE Group established the Diversity Promotion Committee in the fiscal year ended March 2009, and we are participating in the subcommittee. We have set diversity promotion themes and are working on measures to promote diversity in the NAGASE Group.

• Respect for Employee Personalities and Individuality

We do not harass or discriminate on the grounds of race, religious creed, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, nationality, language, physical characteristics, disabilities, wealth, place of origin, or any other basis protected by national or local law or ordinance or regulation.
  NAGASE Group and its officers and employees also respect the history, culture and customs of each region. The Company shall address issues of sexual, power or any other form of unlawful harassment in the workplace. We shall not explicitly or implicitly allow any such behavior. We will promptly investigate reports of discrimination, offering aid to victims, and taking steps (including disciplinary measures) to prevent discrimination in the future.

• Establishing an Environment to Draw out the Strengths of Employees

  NAGASE Group has created safe and hygienic work conditions to establish an environment to draw out the strengths of employees. We are also aware of local laws and regulations regarding workplace safety and hygiene, conducting our operations accordingly. Should a workplace accident occur, we will do our utmost to minimize damage and prevent a recurrence.

  We will also strive to create a workplace that allows every individual employee to work with conviction and motivation. We will not only comply with labor laws related to working hours but also support both the work and private life of the employees (work-life balance) by realizing diverse ways of working and by making use of a variety of leave systems and so on. For employees who need pregnancy, childbirth, infant care and family care support, we will strive to achieve a balance between these needs and work, and create a workplace environment that delivers a fulfilling life for our employees.
