In order to reflect diverse viewpoints and values in areas closer to management, we have set a goal of higher-level positions than the previously targeted. We also actively promoting female appointments in each company.
As of the end of March 2021, the combined ratio of female employees at MUFG Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, and Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities (domestic and overseas combined) was 52%.
