Appointing women in management roles
Guided by our Basic Policy on Sustainability, the UNISOL Group has set out the promotion of diversity & inclusion as a priority issue (materiality) for the Group. We have set targets for the proportion of female managers, our number of non-Japanese employees, and other factors, and are moving forward with initiatives in these areas.
We have set a target of 3.0%* for the percentage of management roles occupied by female workers (the proportion of female managers) by the fiscal year ending December 2026 and are promoting the appointment of women into management positions.
*This figure covers: Maruka Furusato Corporation and our three main consolidated subsidiaries (Furusato Industries, Ltd.; Maruka Corporation; G-net Corporation)
Career training for female employees
We hold career training for our female career-track employees, aimed at giving them a clear picture of how they can consider their future plans and shape their career over the long term, as well as helping them to build stronger peer-to-peer connections with other female employees.
In FY2024, this training was attended by employees from several of our consolidated subsidiaries (Furusato Industries, Ltd.; Maruka Corporation; G-net Corporation; Security Design Inc.; and Gifu Shoji Co., Ltd.). The participants were either in their third to sixth year with us after joining us as new graduates or had been hired mid-career. During the training, each employee shared her concerns and approach, and emphasis was placed on the importance of their individual values. They then took part in group work. In the post-training questionnaire, attendees shared that they had discovered new aspects of themselves, their worries were alleviated by hearing about other women’s ways of thinking, and that the training gave them new motivation.
The training also included a discussion around the question of what systems should be in place to help women enjoy long-term careers going forward. Based on the thoughts the participants shared in this discussion, we introduced a scheme to provide female-specific cancer screening support from April 2025.
