Diversity Management

The Sumitomo Riko Group states in its Management Philosophy that it will "Foster an invigorating corporate culture that respects our employees' diversity, personal qualities, and individuality." We recognize the promotion of diversity and inclusion (hereinafter referred to as D&I) as the foundation of its management, aiming to "create a workplace where everyone can demonstrate their abilities." Currently, approximately 80% of all employees work outside of Japan, making the promotion and implementation of D&I increasingly important.
Our D&I promotion structure began with the establishment of the Diversity Committee in 2015 as a subcommittee of the CSR Committee (now the CSR Sustainability Committee), followed by the establishment of the Diversity Promotion Office in the Human Resources Division in 2016 as a specialized organization. Since then, the Diversity Promotion Section and the D&I Group of the Planning Section have been reorganized to promote activities from a company-wide, group-wide, and global perspective, while keeping a close eye on social trends, and gathering the opinions of employees. We will continue to accelerate our efforts to create a workplace and corporate culture in which each and every employee, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, educational background, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability, is respected and can play an active role on the world stage with fulfillment, in order to promote D&I aggressively.
We hope that all of our stakeholders will understand our efforts regarding human resources and D&I, and we look forward to your continued support in the future.
