Promotion of DEI Initiatives through Financial Functions and Social Contribution Activities

Krungsri (Bank of Ayudhya), our Partner Bank in Thailand, has issued social bonds (gender bonds) to support the financial needs of women entrepreneurs.

Proceeds from the bond issuance are used to finance women-led small and medium-sized enterprises in Thailand.  Through the issuance of these bonds, the bank provided opportunities for the underserved women in SME segment to access financial services and contributed to the development of the fast-growing social bond market in Asia.

As part of our efforts to support women's health, MUFG donated 30 million yen to the Japanese Society for Fertility Preservation (JSFP) with the aim of spreading correct knowledge of breast and cervical cancers for early detection and prevention measures.

Also, for International Women’s Day on March 8th, we hosted a seminar for employees about cancers specific to women to deepen their knowledge of women’s health, concerning issues such as cervical cancer, breast cancer, HPV vaccination, and fertility preservation. The venue was decorated with mimosa flowers, which are the symbol of International Women’s Day, and participants were given colorful macaroons, conveying the image of diversity.

In the future, MUFG and its executives and employees will undertake a variety of initiatives to help our customers, local communities and society, and the next generation make healthy and diverse life choices.
