④ MISUMI Organizational Development, which creates an environment for taking on challenges without constraints

  Our Company empowers individuals to embrace a wide range of challenges, develop strategies, and execute them independently, regardless of age, nationality, years of experience, or whether they are new graduates or mid-career hires.
 As a result, we have cultivated a unique and healthy corporate culture characterized by strong diversity and minimal political influence.
 We particularly emphasize two key initiatives to create an environment where employees can confidently pursue their next challenges without constraints.

  In 2017, our Company implemented a Zero Tolerance for Harassment declaration within the MISUMI Group. We actively promote initiatives toward this goal by regularly conducting compliance training for employees worldwide, completely overhauling and globally deploying our Corporate and Employee Codes of Conduct and establishing widely publicized internal reporting systems.
 As a result, the number of harassment cases has declined in recent years. For instance, in fiscal year 2023, there were very few cases resulting in sanctions due to harassment, with only two cases reported in Japan and one case outside Japan.
 However, we recognize that we have not yet achieved Zero Harassment. Therefore, we will further strengthen our education, preventive measures, and response strategies to eradicate harassment. Additionally, to ensure that harassment is neither hidden nor concealed, we will continuously provide information about our internal reporting system and consultation services.

  Our Company is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment by strictly prohibiting any form of discrimination based on nationality, gender, age, educational background, or employment status, regardless of whether employees are new graduates or mid-career hires. Recruitment, promotions, and transfers are based solely on individual skills and achievements.   As evidence of this commitment, our Company boasts a notably high percentage of female managers, with 17% in MISUMI Japan and 24% globally—distinctions within the manufacturing industry. Additionally, in MISUMI Japan, 85% of our hires are mid-career professionals, contributing to a highly diverse workforce.
 We believe that diverse talent and perspectives drive innovation within the MISUMI MODEL. Therefore, our Company is committed to further enhancing diversity, particularly by increasing the number of locally hired executives in each region and improving the ratio of female managers. We are implementing comprehensive measures globally to achieve these objectives. In the interim, we have set a target to raise the global ratio of female managers to 30%, and we are actively working toward this goal.

Current global percentage of female managers: 24%

Target: 30%
