Main Initiatives for DE&I Promotion
artience group is working to promote DE&I with the aim of creating a workplace where each employee can work with a sense of fulfillment, respecting diverse values, ideas, and ideas regardless of gender, nationality, age, or disability, with the People-oriented management in its Corporate Philosophy.
- Promoting understanding of LGBTQ+ and developing institutions
In order to deepen the correct understanding of LGBTQ+, we have established the "Guidelines for Deepening Understanding and Supporting LGBTQ Understanding", introduced the "Common-law Marriage and Same-Sex Partnership System", endorsed the "Business for Marriage Equality" to promote marriage equality, and held in-house seminars. - Expansion of employment of people with disabilities
In order to create a work environment where people with or without disabilities can play an active role, we began hiring people with intellectual disabilities in 2019. In 2024, we established a special subsidiary, Clover Biz, to expand employment and job opportunities. - Balancing support
In order to ensure that each employee can choose a work style according to their life stage, we are working to create an environment where employees can continue to work with peace of mind, such as expanding the childcare leave system, encouraging men to take childcare leave, and balancing nursing care and work. - Promoting DE&I Education and ALLY Activities
We are also focusing on implementing various programs related to DE&I promotion at different levels, deepening understanding of diversity and expanding the circle of support for ALLY (*) activities, and regularly holding study sessions for ALLY members to foster awareness throughout the company.
- ALLY: In general, it refers to people who understand and support sexual minorities, and people who want to support them, but artience group positions it as "people who understand and are on the side of all differences."
