The Nissha Group has set the ratio of female managerial staff, one of the symbols of diversity, as a KPI. We are working on promoting the advancement of women, setting targets of 23% globally consolidated and 12% for Nissha non-consolidated by 2026. In the fiscal year ending December 2024, several women will be appointed as managerial staff, and Nissha expects the percentage to increase to more than 8.5% on a nonconsolidated basis.

The Nissha Group is working to achieve a percentage that is above the statutory rate of persons with disabilities employed at domestic Group companies which are targeted by government’s employment ratio system for persons with disabilities. To ensure that employees with disabilities can work with peace of mind, we provide support from outside specialists, help them develop their skills, and hold regular interviews with Human Resources.
