01Nisso Group Internal Environment Improvement Policy

Nisso Group Internal Environment Improvement Policy

As the environment changes at an unprecedented rate, the Nisso Group believes that a workplace environment that respects the diverse values and individuality of human resources is important for the sustainable growth of society.

Based on our founding philosophy of "Nurturing and Bringing Out the Best in People", the Nisso Group is committed to protecting workplace safety, as well as physical and mental health, and practices the creation of workplaces where all employees can have dreams and a sense of fulfillment. In addition, the Group will respect the human rights of all people, including women, the elderly, foreign nationals, and people with disabilities, and work to build a healthy work environment free from discrimination.

02Basic View

While the accelerating declining birthrate and aging population in Japan poses risks, the Nisso Group also recognizes this as a business opportunity linked to the need for recruiting and supporting the success of “people.”
Based on the Nisso Group’s “Internal Environment Improvement Policy,” we aim for sustainable business growth by building an environment in which diverse human resourcesl—including women, the elderly, foreign nationals, and people with disabilities—can thrive.
It is important to foster a corporate culture where diverse employees can autonomously choose work-styles suited to them.
We believe such a culture leads to a virtuous cycle that promotes engagement, secures outstanding human resources, and enhances productivity. We recognize that realizing this will contribute to further enhancing the Nisso Group’s corporate value.

03Aiming to improve the diversity ratio

In February 2025, the Nisso Group revised the indicators and targets under our “Internal Environment Improvement Policy.” We updated the implementation issues to “Promotion of DE&I (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion)” and newly established the “diversity ratio” as a key indicator. The target is set at achieving a 40% level by FY 3/2031.
With the declining labor population and the rising proportion of the elderly in Japan, the Nisso Group’s management environment is undergoing significant changes. As of the end of March 2025, the “diversity ratio” (women, senior employees, foreign nationals, and persons with disabilities combined) accounted for 31.9% of all employees. By increasing this ratio, the Nisso Group aims to strengthen organizational resilience and achieve sustainable business growth.

04Promotion of Women's Participation and Advancement

In order to achieve the sustainable growth of the Nisso Group, we believe that it is important to create a workplace where all employees can have dreams and a sense of fulfillment, and to create "a place where diverse human resources can flourish". We aim to increase the ratio of female managers in the Nisso Group in order to promote the active participation of diverse human resources.

In addition, the Nisso Group aims to strengthen our organizational capabilities by investing in human resources for the "creation of a comfortable workplace" where diverse human resources, including women, can work comfortably.

05Active Participation of People with Disabilities

In order to build a workplace model that enables people with disabilities to flourish, the Company strives to coexist with local communities, including school officials, support organizations, and the government, while promoting independent activities that make the most of each individual's characteristics, such as accepting contracts for light work from general companies and engaging in Web system development, etc., rather than just employing people with disabilities.
