Based on the basic policy on D&I of “secure diverse personnel and support the growth of people who continually take on challenges” Furukawa Electric Group promotes to develop corporate culture that accepts and makes use of diverse human resources.
To realize this goal, we will promote initiatives comprehensively from aspects such as recruitment, job assignment and training, and work environment improvement.

Positioning D&I as an important element in “strengthening human capital and organizational execution abilities,” we have established HK^*/D&I Committee under the direct supervision of the President, and are promoting proactive initiatives such as promoting women’s careers, work-style reform, promoting employment of people with disabilities, and employment of global talent and mid-career hires.

We are working to promote women’s careers to secure diverse human resources. We consider it particularly important to ensure diversity in the decision-making level as a foundation for corporate growth, and we have set a target of improving the ratio of female managers. We aim to improve the ratio to 7% by FY2025 and to 15% by FY2030. 

Not only to fulfill our social responsibilities, but also from the perspective of D&I, which pursues the potential of diverse personnel and organizations as a foundation for corporate growth, we are proactively working to expand the environment in which people with disabilities can work.

We actively promote mid-career hires of diverse human resources to strengthen expertise and accelerate the diversification of perspectives. We are also promoting the employment of non-Japanese, in terms of demand in each business strategy and strengthening management capabilities, we are recruiting and assigning the right person to the right position from a global perspective. 

Aiming to create an environment and a corporate culture that accepts and makes the most of diverse human resources, we promote various measures for both "work style reform" to improve productivity and job satisfaction and "organizational culture reform" to promote the realization of the Group's Core Values.
