Recognizing the value of promoting diversity in the workplace
On November 14, NYK was given a silver rating in the 2024 PRIDE Index for the second year in a row, a recognition based on an evaluation of LGBTQ+ initiatives in the workplace.
The PRIDE Index was initiated in 2016 by the general incorporated association "work with Pride" (wwP)* with the aim of creating a workplace where sexual minorities can work comfortably in Japan.
Companies are scored on five indicators — Policy, Representation, Inspiration, Development, and Engagement/Empowerment — and placed on a three-tiered scale of "Gold," "Silver," and "Bronze.”
NYK's initiatives include the following:
- Supporting the Rainbow Communication Badge 2023 project sponsored by JobRainbow Inc., an LGBT support activity, and conducting awareness-raising activities in our group
- Thoroughly promoting LGBT awareness through e-learning for all employees, training for new employees and newly appointed managers, etc.
- Having an executive officer join the Pride1000 network, which aims to expand the circle of corporate managers who are allies (LGBTQ+ supporters and advocates) and promote the sending of positive messages
- Participating in the Tokyo Rainbow Pride 2024 parade
- Distributing a human rights column on the company intranet
- Sharing initiatives on LGBT and other human rights issues with other companies and inviting experts to hold study sessions, etc. through the Mitsubishi Human Rights Enlightenment Committee, in which we participate
