Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Promoting the advancement of women
For sustainable development and innovation, JACCS is promoting the advancement of female employees. To increase the number of female employees involved in future management decision-making, the Company has established targets for the ratio of female employees among management-level positions, and is undertaking training and proactive promotions.
JACCS believes that it is important to create an environment in which female employees can pursue a successful career without suffering negative impact on their career advancement due to such factors as childbirth and child-rearing. JACCS is developing programs that enable employees to achieve a balance between career and raising a family, through child-rearing support.
