Basic Concept
In order for Fujikura Group to continue to achieve sustainable development, we believe it is important to create organization diverse human resource can thrive, regardless of nationality, race, gender, religion, age, etc., and we are promoting various initiatives based on the "Fujikura Group Diversity Promotion Declaration" establishment 2016.
Fujikura Group Diversity Promotion Declaration
Fujikura Group Diversity Promotion Declaration
We will promote the creation of organization in which diverse human resource can thrive, regardless of nationality, race, gender, religion, age, or company of origin.
We believe that when people with different backgrounds and ways of thinking exchange diverse opinions, creative and cutting-edge ideas that lead to breakthroughs are born.
The Significance of Diversity to Our Group
- By creating an environment that makes it easier to balance life events with careers, we aim to strengthen our ability to recruit and retain talented human resource thereby contributing to increased profitability.
- Having diverse human resource working together will foster an environment that welcomes new ideas and a culture that is conducive to generating creative ideas, thereby contributing to strengthening "metabolism."
Promoting women's participation in the workplace
Fujikura has positioned the promotion of women's participation in the workforce as one of its key measures for diversity and inclusion, and aims to foster a culture in which all Fujikura employee, regardless of gender, respect each other while working together and cooperating, welcoming new ideas, and encouraging the birth of creative ideas, thereby enhancing corporate value. In fiscal 2023, the ratio of female managers was 4.5%, and the ratio of female section chiefs was 16.5%. Through active recruitment activities and the development of a comfortable working environment, the pool of candidates for managerial positions is growing. In order to increase the ratio of female managers, it is necessary not only to eliminate women's own concerns about their career development, but also to change the management's awareness and systematically train and promote them. We will continue to promote these efforts in the future.

Action Plan Period: April 1, 2023 - March 31, 2026

Fujikura's Initiatives
We implemented an inter-industry exchange program mainly for female Fujikura employee just before reaching managerial level. It was a combination of external training and in-house programs, and aimed to help participants proactively map out their careers through interactions with female Fujikura employee from other companies and external role models, life career design workshops, and interviews with superiors. Participants made comments such as, "Hearing about role models who have overcome similar challenges as me made me want to tackle everything in a positive way," and "I don't want to underestimate myself just because I have limitations while raising children, and I want to advance my career while increasing my strengths."
Employment handicapped person
From the perspective of social responsibility and normalization (helping each other with handicapped person and the elderly), Fujikura Group continues to promote the employment of handicapped person and to make efforts to enable them to settle in and work energetically. In addition, with the aim of becoming a company where human resource with diverse backgrounds and ways of thinking can play an active role, Fujikura Ltd. was established in 2015 to promote the employment of handicapped person throughout the group and encourage their active participation.
