From the viewpoint of realizing social responsibility and normalization (engaging in mutual assistance with disabled and seniors), we actively employ people with disabilities and strive to improve their working environments. To improve the working environment and make it easy for people with disabilities to work throughout the entire Fujikura Group, we will naturally achieve the statutory employment rate of 2.3% mandated from March 2021. We are also aiming to realize social responsibility and normalization.

The Fujikura Group basic principle on diversity states, “Create a corporate culture that encourages a range of human resources to proactively understand mutual characteristics, utilize their respective strengths, and make the most of their abilities.” We actively seek to employ people with disabilities and realize diversity and inclusion based on this principle.v
We are committed to complying with increases in the statutory employment rate to 2.3% under the national government’s policies aimed at realizing a society of coexistence where people with disabilities can live and work as a member of their own communities.
