It has also identified “Human Rights and Diverse Talent” as one of its key sustainability priorities, respects the human rights, individuality and values of all people, and works to provide a workplace where everyone can work comfortably and find fulfillment in their work.」

「If discriminatory conduct, harassment or other inappropriate behavior is carried out by an officer or employee of the group, this may not only damage the company's social reputation but also reduce employees' motivation to work due to a deterioration in the workplace environment, and lead to lower productivity in operating activities as a result of leave of absence or resignations caused by physical or mental health problems.」
