Amid intensifying competition in recruitment due to population decline, along with the diversification of individual career perspectives and increasing labor market fluidity, we must secure talented human resources and promote empowerment to drive our diverse management strategies toward realizing the 100 Million Tons and 1 Trillion Yen Vision. Therefore, we position this initiative as one of the highest priority management issues.

In April 2025, following on from the previous year, we implemented substantial compensation improvement exceeding the rate of inflation, as part of our initiative for “investment in human resources” to realize a virtuous economic cycle. The list of actions that we will continue to implement includes diverse hiring measures, support for work-life balance, and human resource development, among others. These measures are intended to secure and promote human resources, as well as raise favorable recognition of the company through PR.
