This marks the fourth consecutive year that the company has been recognized.

This is Japan's largest award recognizing companies working on diversity and inclusion. Based on a diversity score of 100 items consisting of five perspectives - "gender," "LGBTQ+," "disability," "multicultural coexistence," and "childcare/elderly care," certification is awarded in three levels: Beginner (certified score 1-20 points), Standard (certified score 21-60 points), Advanced (certified score 61-80 points), and Best Workplace (certified score 81-100 points).

・"Best Workplace" certification criteria
This is a D&I pioneering company that is working to promote D&I at a high level not only in Japan but also globally, and not only fosters a D&I corporate culture, but each employee is proactively working as an individual to promote D&I. The D&I philosophy is reflected in all aspects of services, business, and corporate organization, and is spreading outside the company as well.
