Respect for Diverse Perspectives and Values

The Tokyo Seimitsu Group believes that diverse perspectives and ideas stimulate each other to create new value and achieve synergies that exceed the sum of individual abilities. We are committed to eliminating acts of discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, national origin, or disabilities, as well as to creating workplaces where diverse human resources can work in a safe and healthy environment. We respect the personalities of each and every employee and are creating an environment where employees can make the most of their capabilities in a rewarding way.

Scope: Regular employees of Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd. (non-consolidated basis)
*1 The ratio is calculated using the “number of women in managerial, section chief, and assistant section chief positions” as of the end of March 2025 as the base value of 1.00
*2 Disclosed starting in fiscal year 2025 to report progress toward the targets set out in the Action Plan (fiscal years 2025–2026).  Scope of this item only: Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd. (non-consolidated; full-time workers)
*3 Data depicted in the table are current as of June 1 of each year. The “Act to Facilitate the Employment of Persons with Disabilities” stipulates that employment of one individual with a serious disability is equivalent to employing “two individuals” for purposes of calculating the number of associates with disabilities and percentage of employment.

Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement

In order to ensure that women can work more actively as core human resources in our organization, we consider it an urgent issue to hire more female regular employees and improve the work environment for them. Based on this understanding, we formulated the “Action Plan for Promoting Employment and Careers of Women” (FY2021 to 2025) and have been pushing forward a variety of measures to meet the challenge.

As a result, we have been able to achieve the target metrics sooner than we set out to accomplish by the end of FY2025. Therefore, we have newly created the "Action Plan Based on the Act on the Promotion of Women's Active Engagement in Professional Life" (FY2025 to 2026).
We intend to continue to increase recruitment of female regular employees and further step up efforts to promote women's engagement with the aim of making our organization sustainable.
