About the Declaration on Action by "Group of Male Leaders who will Create a Society in which Women Shine"
Amid this movement, male leaders who had already been promoting the empowerment of women compiled the “Declaration on Action by a Group of Male Leaders who will Create a Society in which Women Shine.”
Nissha Printing Co., Ltd. initiatives to promote women employees’ participation in business
True to the Diverse Capabilities cited in its set of Shared Values, the Nissha Group aims to be a corporate group where employees can live up to their potential regardless of nationality, gender, or age. Amid growing demand from society, the group recognizes women employees’ participation in business as a particularly important priority, and to this end launched a project team led by Human Resources in July 2014. Three companies of the Nissha Group—Nissha Printing Co., Ltd., Nitec Industries, Inc., and Nitec Precision and Technologies, Inc.—are subject to the Act on Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace (Women’s Participation Act), which came into effect in April 2016. But activities extend beyond these three companies across the Nissha Group as a whole.
