Message from Management

March 8 marks International Women’s Day, as designated by the United Nations. 

To commemorate this Day and confirm our commitment to its ideals, MUFG has declared “Moving Forward, Together” as our shared global group theme. In this spirit, we will implement a variety of initiatives – including video messages from leaders and allies who support the advancement of women – to all colleagues across the Group. 

To serve MUFG’s stated purpose of being “Committed to Empowering a Brighter Future,” we need an environment where diverse values and experiences are respected, and where everyone can fully leverage their individual strengths. The advancement of women contributes not only to MUFG’s growth but also to sustainable development of society as a whole.

Through International Women’s Day, we aim to deepen understanding of themes that support women’s success, including health-related challenges and balance between career and life. We also wish to reflect once again on nourishing an environment where each individual can take on challenges in a uniquely personal way. 

MUFG must be a place where each individual – regardless of gender or background – can fully develop and deploy their capabilities while being true to themselves. I am fully committed to supporting your challenges and aspirations as we move forward together to support this ideal.
