To achieve GROUP VISION 2030 and our medium-term management plan, the aim of the Group's human capital management is to formulate and implement human capital strategies that interlock with our management strategies and, it refers to our commitment to sustainable value enhancement.By proactively investing in the knowledge, skills and motivation of our approximately 30,000 employees in over 100 companies as "human capital", we aim to become" a group that continues to create value" and "Toward a Vibrant Future for All".

Human Capital Strategy

To achieve GROUP VISION 2030, our vision for what we want the Group to be by the year 2030, we have established a human capital philosophy of aiming for growth and the creation of a sustainable society with every employee having "challenge-oriented DNA" and a "mission to engage in society." Based on this philosophy and our management strategies, we have formulated and are moving forward with three human capital strategies as policies to be implemented—"Develop people who create value," "develop organizations with diversity and a sense of unity," and "enhance motivation to work and foster an employee-friendly work culture."

Strategy measures and human capital KPI

One of the risks in promoting the human capital strategy is the possibility of a gap between the management strategy and the actual human capital measures. For this reason, human capital KPIs (see below) corresponding to each measure are set as indicators, and progress is reported at the Sustainability Committee meetings. By having management discuss human resources strategy policies, we ensure that management strategies and on-site measures are consistent.
