As part of efforts to tap the potential of diverse human resources, the Company supports the hiring of non-Japanese individuals in addition to people with disabilities. Aiming to improve our organizational capabilities through fair compensation and respect of diversity and to fulfill our corporate social responsibility, we promote the hiring of such individuals, confident that they will develop into sources of strategic strength.
