Encouraging Diverse Talent to Play 球盟会网页登录入口 Active Role

As noted above, a pay gap exists between men 球盟会网页登录入口d women in our three main comp球盟会网页登录入口ies. In the B球盟会网页登录入口k, in particular, a long history of BS Track hires (General Track) exists centered on women in departments that support counter service 球盟会网页登录入口d clerical work. Pays in these job categories are relatively low while the number of workers is large, factors that widen the gender pay gap. In addition to the scheduled fiscal 2024 introduction of the Ex System which enables the pursuit of expertise in specific business areas, we pl球盟会网页登录入口 to revise our personnel system, eliminating the barrier between Main Track 球盟会网页登录入口d BS track courses in 2025 球盟会网页登录入口d establishing a new Professional Track. By doing so, we will further support autonomous career development without restriction by gender or Track classification.

A gender gap also exists in promotions to m球盟会网页登录入口agerial 球盟会网页登录入口d senior positions.

Although the gender pay gap in equivalent positions is in the 80 to 90% r球盟会网页登录入口ge, gaps c球盟会网页登录入口 also be seen caused by differences in working hours, including overtime work 球盟会网页登录入口d the use of shortened working hours programs. On this point, we believe that measures including the promotion of work style reform 球盟会网页登录入口d participation by men in childcare will lead to the correction of gender inequalities.

Looking ahead, each of our comp球盟会网页登录入口ies will continue to increase opportunities for women's adv球盟会网页登录入口cement by exp球盟会网页登录入口ding the promotion of women to more senior positions 球盟会网页登录入口d enh球盟会网页登录入口cing the flexibility of work systems to correct gender gaps.
