Human Capital

Initiatives for Human Capital Management
We understand that human capital is an important management resource. We will therefore strive to accumulate human capital.
We seek to survive the global competition and achieve sustainable growth by helping employees make full use of our accumulated technologies and knowledge.

Human Resource Development Policy

We will continue to work on human resource development to permit each employee to play active roles as professional human resources. At the same time, we will provide expansive opportunities to our diverse workforce to play active roles, as they take on challenges of the future.

• We will approach employee development with the mindset that human resources are our most important management resource.
• We will create a structure for development that permits employees to continue taking on challenges to improve their own value as professionals.
• We will provide employees with opportunities to learn voluntarily.

Example of Initiative

Our training system consists of job-class-specific training and specialized training for employees in their respective duties, so as to support all employees in their personal development.
We have also introduced overseas training that gives employees a sense of global business, as well as a subsidy program for supporting their personal development. We therefore provide learning opportunities for encouraging each employee's initiative.

Diversity & Inclusion

“Respect diversity to help build a sustainable society and become a company which can achieve growth.”

Diversity & Inclusion Policy

At the Tomen Devices Group, we believe that respecting and recognizing our diversity and achieving active participation and personal development together enables us to help build a sustainable society and improve our corporate value.
For this purpose, we will strive to secure diverse human resources, develop an environment and corporate climate that allow employees to work with vitality, and raise awareness of individual employees.

Example of Initiative

• People with diverse nationalities are participating actively at Tomen Devices. We are proactively recruiting these human resources, valuing their performance toward the globalization of our business.
• We have developed an action plan with the goal of establishing a work environment that is employee friendly to help employees display their potential and achieve a balance between work and their personal lives.

Targets

Policy for Internal Environment Development

We will work to build a comfortable work environment, where diverse human resources recognize each other and can fully demonstrate their personal qualities and capabilities.

• We will provide a system that can maintain high labor productivity and an environment that enables close communication.
• We will create a system for career formation that facilitates the achievement of the missions of the company and organizations and the self-actualization of employees.
• We will focus on work-life balance in promoting good health and building our workplace environment.

Initiatives and Action Plans

We position “improving labor productivity”, “active roles for diverse human resources”, and “health promotion” at the core, and they are all closely related. We therefore adopt initiatives from the perspective of total optimization.
In addition, an action plan has been formulated and specific measures are being considered and introduced.

Human Rights

At the Tomen Devices Group, we believe that respecting and protecting human rights is essential for promoting the Group's Code of Conduct and achieving our Mission and Vision, and more than anything, that are important social responsibilities that we should fulfill as a company.

Responsible Procurement (Supply Chain Sustainability)

The cooperation of all stakeholders, including our business partners, is essential for our corporate activities, and we believe that promoting initiatives throughout the supply chain in cooperation with them is important for the establishment of a sustainable society.
The Toyota Tsusho Group, the corporate group that we belong to, has built diverse global value chains and it believes that sustainability and CSR that consider human rights, labor environments and the natural environment must be promoted to ensure the sustainability of the entire supply chain in each region. Based on this belief, it has established the Supply Chain Sustainability Behavioral Guidelines. As a member of the Toyota Tsusho Group, we will practice these Behavioral Guidelines.

We share the Supply Chain Sustainability Behavioral Guidelines with our business partners, including suppliers, and request that they practice the guidelines.
Moving forward, we will increase our communication with our business partners to monitor the status of the implementation of the guidelines.
In the event of a serious violation of the guidelines by a business partner, we request that the business partner improve and continue to ask them to understand and observe the guidelines through activities such as providing instructions and support as necessary.
