Formulation of a New D&I Strategy and Related Initiatives

The Southeast Asia & India (SEA+I) subsegment formulated a new D&I strategy with the aim of building a more inclusive and collaborative organization. The strategy sets out three pillars: cross-cultural collaboration, women empowerment, and multigenerational workforce integration. We are promoting the creation of an environment in which diverse talent can demonstrate their abilities while respecting differing cultures, generations, and values.

While respecting the different issues faced by each region and company, we share a common direction so that we can advance D&I with a sense of unity across SEA+I as a whole. This initiative is helping to create a workplace where every individual can voice opinions with confidence and grow by drawing on diverse perspectives.

Implementing a Learning Program for Managers A year of cultivating inclusive leadership

SEA+I conducted a year-long learning program on topics including cross-cultural understanding, unconscious bias, gender equity, and multigenerational team management. We provide training opportunities that deepen understanding so that managers can practice inclusive leadership that draws out the strengths of diverse talent.

As the culmination of the training, we held the Annual Learning Festival on December 5, where managers engaged in dialogue with one another and shared their learning and practical examples, providing an impetus to apply D&I in day-to-day management.

Global D&I Learning Using Training Videos Bringing REVVED to All Employee

To deepen understanding of D&I across the Group, SEA+I used People Connect, its learning management system, to distribute the President CEO’s message for International Women’s Day along with videos as D&I learning content. This content aims to instill the thinking behind the Group’s common D&I slogan, REVVED (Respect Every Voice, Value Every Difference), and we have put in place an environment in which employees can learn regardless of place or time. Through this content, we share the Group’s common D&I message across SEA+I as a whole and create opportunities for each individual to translate REVVED into daily actions

Promoting Women’s Advancement Through Interviews with Women leaders

For International Women’s Day, we promote women’s advancement throughout the year under the theme “Beyond a Day.” SEA+I conducted interviews with women leaders, who shared their respective careers, experiences, and thoughts on leadership, offering many employees new insights. By continuing to create an environment in which women can make the most of their abilities, we are giving rise to diverse leadership and contributing to the growth of the entire organization
