We are making efforts to encourage women to take on new challenges and provide them with career development opportunities by setting numerical targets for female appointments and offering training for female employees and managers.
Setting numerical targets
At our three major companies, our joint numerical goal is to raise the ratio of female staff in managerial positions to 24% by the end of March 2021. We are also actively promoting numerical targets for female appointments in each company. By the end of March 2018, our three major companies' ratio of female staff in managerial positions was improved to 21%.
