Promoting active participation of women through
DE&I initiatives
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today
that it has joined the 30% Club Japan, part of a global campaign to
increase the ratio of women in key corporate decision-making
positions. Founded in the United Kingdom in 2010, the 30% Club has
expanded to more than 20 countries, and in Japan it has set a
target of at least 30% women on TOPIX 100 company boards by
2030.
As part of its goal to realize Circular Digital-Engineering,
Mitsubishi Electric is committed to ensuring that each member of
its vast, multi-talented workforce is able to fully express their
individuality and skills in every workplace, in line with the
company’s human-capital strategy, “Grow together with our people
and build a brighter future with the power of human capital.”
Mitsubishi Electric believes that endorsing the increased
participation of women through diversity, equity and inclusion
(DE&I) initiatives contributes to the company’s sustainable
growth.
Since establishing the Career Management & Personal Life
Well-balanced Plan (CP-Plan) Promotion Center in 2006, Mitsubishi
Electric has been implementing work-life balance initiatives,
including positioning the promotion of women’s active participation
as a core objective. Specifically, efforts have included increasing
the number of female employees and improving various leave systems.
In 2020, Japan’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare awarded the
company Eruboshi Certification (Grade 2) for formulating and
reporting initiatives based on the Act on Promotion of Women’s
Participation and Advancement in the Workplace.
