Daigas Group Diversity Promotion Policy
President's Commitment
Greater diversity within the Daigas Group for expanding its business fields
At the Daigas Group, we value our employees as one of the most important assets, respecting their uniqueness and independence as individuals. We promote the development of employees’ potential at work, encouraging them to make a good use of education and training opportunities provided by the Group to achieve its objectives. In the meantime, we provide a number of programs to support our employees’ initiatives to realize their suitable work-life balance respectively.
With Japan’s demographic structure changing and individuals’ lifestyles and values diversifying, we expect that our customers’ needs will become more complex. To sustain a steady growth of the Group, we need to explore broader business fields beyond the traditional domains of gas utility business, which requires us to accept more diverse values. We must respond swiftly and flexibly to these changes in business environment, identify business opportunities in that, and be a corporate group that can continue to create new types of value that meet the changing needs of our customers.
The new types of value can be created not from an individual and isolated idea but from a joint and organizational approach, where innovative combination of knowledge, interaction of concepts, and fusion of ideas among employees take place vibrantly. To that end, we should provide a workplace that encourages every employee to have strong intellectual curiosity and fertile imagination, interact with other people with different views, values, and ways of thinking, and accept and respect diverse opinions without prejudice. Promoting diversity is key to establishing such a workplace, where people freely discuss their own ideas regardless of gender, age, nationality, physical disabilities and other attributes.
Following this Daigas Group Diversity Promotion Policy, we strive to be a corporate group that respects diverse talent, tolerates no discrimination, and provides a workplace where everyone has a sense of fulfillment in their work.
