Global DE&I Summit
DE&I activities vary depending on the environment in each country, but in 2022 we began considering promoting them across the entire group, and as part of this, we have been holding the "Global DE&I Summit" online every year since that year. The second summit, held in October 2023, Summit, over 70 leaders from various countries and companies gathered to learn together on the theme of "inclusive leadership", which is essential for fostering an inclusive culture and promoting collaboration.
In the panel discussion with the CEOs of group companies from the US, Myanmar, and Japan, as well as external lecturers, the participants exchanged frank and open opinions from various perspectives on the elements and challenges of inclusive leadership that each of them emphasized, as well as future initiatives, and many valuable practical examples were shared with the participants. Group discussions were also held with the participants, and lively discussions were held on how to demonstrate leadership in their own workplaces.
As a global company, promoting DE&I is not only essential for creating an environment where each and every diverse employee can thrive, but also for contributing to customers, partners, and local communities through our business. Through the holding of such summits, we will continue to work to promote DE&I across the entire Group.
