Various Initiatives Toward Achieving Goals
1. Initiatives for Promoting Women's Empowerment
By the end of 2026, we aim to achieve a global ratio of over 40% female managers and 25% within Asics Corporation, in order to revitalize our human resources. We are implementing various approaches to enable women to actively build their careers.
In the Japan region, we are strategically focusing on the commitment of our executives, along with various on-the-job training (OJT), off-the-job training (OFF-JT), and the creation and execution of development plans.
These initiatives, along with the increase in female managers, have been recognized, resulting in various awards and certifications.
2. Creating an Environment Where Everyone Can Thrive
We are also working on creating an environment where diverse talents can maximize their capabilities.
As part of these efforts, we have been awarded the highest rank of "Gold" for seven consecutive years in the "PRIDE Index," which evaluates initiatives for sexual minorities (hereafter referred to as LGBTQ+). (See details)
Our initiatives include:
Revising regulations and standards (clarifying the definition of marriage to include same-sex partners)
Conducting training and workshops to promote understanding of LGBTQ+
Establishing help desk both internally and externally
Hosting the online running event "Pride Run/Walk" and making donations based on the number of finishers
We are committed to creating a world where everyone can enjoy sports, and we will continue to promote these activities as part of our management declaration.
