Human capital management

To achieve GROUP VISION 2030 and our medium-term management plan, the aim of the Group's human capital management is to formulate and implement human capital strategies that interlock with our management strategies and, it refers to our commitment to sustainable value enhancement.By proactively investing in the knowledge, skills and motivation of our approximately 30,000 employees in over 100 companies as "human capital", we aim to become" a group that continues to create value" and "Toward a Vibrant Future for All".

Implementation structure and mechanism

We have established a structure and a mechanism for implementing human capital management to ensure the interlinking of human capital and management strategies. After receiving reports on human capital strategy issues and KPI progress, the Sustainability Committee and Risk Management Committee discuss what course to take together with senior management members and report the results to the Board of Directors.

Message from the Officer in charge

As we enter an era of great change in the environments around both companies and individuals, human capital is becoming ever more important. The Group comprises over 100 companies and approximately 30,000 employees, so I think it is essential that we strengthen our management foundation to create an organization that engages its diverse workforce.

To achieve GROUP VISION 2023, we have established three human capital strategies as policies to be implemented.The first, "Develop people who create value," is developing people who create value is a policy for cultivating human resources based on our Group philosophy and management strategies. Together with instilling the Group philosophy, we are striving to achieve our long-term vision through measures interlinking our Group policy, namely developing DX talent and advancing human capital development based on environmental management. The second, "develop organizations with diversity and a sense of unity," is developing organizations with diversity and a sense of unity is a policy which concerns the establishment of an internal environment which supports the Group's value creation. In addition to promoting the success of women in the workplace, such as increasing the ratio of female managers; and promoting the workplace success of diverse human capital through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives, we believe that fostering an organizational climatewhich is highly innovative.The third policy, "Enhance motivation to work and foster and employee friendly work culture," a policy which concerns the establishment of an internal environment which supports each individual employee. In addition to implementing health and productivity management, supporting diverse working styles, and increasing employee engagement.

By engaging in these three human capital strategies, we will aim to realize environments where employees can work with motivation and ambition and in good physical and mental health. At the same time, we will also aim to produce human resources who are highly-productive and widely contribute to society and, in turn, maximize our value chain.
