Promoting Women’s Participation
SUMINOE GROUP’s activities to promote women’s participation
To promote women’s participation, the Group takes a two-axis approach—encouraging female employees to develop their career (training and appointment) and supporting them in continuing to work (work-life balance). We strive to create a work environment where both male and female employees can play active roles.
Suminoe Textile Co., Ltd. and five Group companies in Japan analyzed the issues of respective companies. Reflecting the analysis results, each company established its action plan based on the Act on Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace.
