Diversity and Inclusion
The Kuraray Group has set the destination for diversity and inclusion as being “a company where each employee in a diverse workforce works enthusiastically and tackles challenges without fear of failure, generating a succession of innovations while responding to change and continuing to grow.”
To this end, for the Medium-Term Management Plan “PASSION 2026” period, we will develop a consistent human resource platform and personal data across the Group, and implement the measures to promote human resource development and diversity based on a long-term perspective. We will seek globally to assign and promote personnel best suited to each job positions in a way that allows individuals to reach their full potential and help growing the business. We will foster an organizational culture in which each person respects diversity and tackles challenges without fear of failure.
Our focus in Japan is on promoting diversity in core human resources, defined as management layer. We will work to advance women, foreign nationals, and mid-career hires to positions of management. Our goal is to boost the ratio of such managers from 12% as of September 2021 to 25% or more by 2030 (excluding production sites).
