Keiichi Kobayashi, President of Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd., has endorsed the “Declaration on Action by a Group of Male Leaders Who Will Create a Society in which Women Shine”, an initiative backed by the Cabinet Office of Japan.
Based on the items indicated in this declaration, which consist of “Taking action and sending messages ourselves”, “Disrupting the status quo”, and “Developing networking”, our company will take action in coordination with the “IkuBoss Corporate Alliance”, which we became a member of on June 7 of this year, to raise the motivation of women and make it possible for them to utilize their abilities maximally.
Utilizing the opportunities provided by the “Kick Off Meeting for Supporting Women to Shine” held at the office of the Prime Minister on March 28, 2014, movements conducted by leaders in various fields to support women who will and do shine with outstanding ability have been spreading.
As part of these movements, a “Declaration on Action by a Group of Male Leaders Who Will Create a Society in which Women Shine”’ has been coordinated, made up of male leaders from companies working to actively promote the success of women.
In 2018 and 2020, Furukawa Electric was selected as a Nadeshiko Brand in non-ferrous metal as an excellent listed company in terms of the empowerment of women. The Nadeshiko Brand has been created jointly by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Tokyo Stock Exchange to show excellent listed companies in terms of the empowerment of women as companies appealing to investors that emphasize an increase in corporate value over the medium to long terms.
