Kose Co., Ltd.
Kose expands its personnel system and welfare benefits to same-sex partners – Vacations, leaves of absence, and various allowances are now eligible for payment –
……
Starting in April 2024, Kose Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kazutoshi Kobayashi) will adopt a personnel system that targeted employees based on marriage. We have also decided to expand the provision of vacation, leave, and various allowances. Based on the idea that diversity is the source of innovation, our company has been working toward “practicing diversity and inclusion
management” as one of the foundations of our medium- to long-term vision “VISION 2026.” Furthermore, we are accelerating our efforts by adding the concept of equity, which states that access to a variety of information and opportunities should be guaranteed fairly, to the perspective of diversity and inclusion. For example, in addition to creating systems and environments for this purpose, we are also implementing the Kose DE&I (Diversity Diversity/Equity We have created a “Handbook” and are distributing it internally. This time, as a new concrete initiative, from April 2024, personnel systems such as vacation, leaves of absence, and payment of various allowances, which were previously subject to marriage, will be changed to cases where the gender on the family register is the same. Employees with a partner were also included. By building a foundation that allows each individual to demonstrate their full potential and fostering a culture where each individual respects and enhances each other’s
individuality, we aim to create an organization where employees can work in their own ways with peace of mind, and to serve a diverse range of customers. We aim to be a company that continues to create “unique value” for our customers. ■Kose Corporate Information Site “Diversity & Inclusion”
