DEI Statement (Enacted and announced in April 2024)
DEI Promotion Structure

Our efforts began in 2006 with the launch of a dedicated department to enhance women’s job satisfaction. From 2010, we expanded the scope of our initiatives to encompass the promotion of inclusion and diversity, intending to enhance job satisfaction for diverse employees, not women alone. In 2018, the Bank, the Trust Bank, and the Securities began to cooperate to promote DEI groupwide. Also, DEI promotion teams globally have been working on DEI issues specific to each region. Since 2023, we established three common key DEI pillars; “Gender equity,“ “Learning and Development“ and “Embedding DEI into our culture”, and we are accelerating a variety of DEI initiatives globally, in close collaboration with key stakeholders in respective regions.
In addition, while clarifying DEI in terms of equity (fairness), we are advancing DEI as part of management strategy committed by top management.
