Human capital

Basic Policy

We regard our personnel as the source of creation of sustainable value and position investment in human capital as a core driver of corporate growth, thereby advancing human capital management across the company.

Human Capital Management Policy

The Nippon Steel Group' s basic philosophy is to “pursue world-leading technologies and manufacturing capabilities, and contribute to society by providing excellent products and services.” In addition, our management principles state, “We develop and bring out the best in our employees to make our Group rich with energy and enthusiasm.” In keeping with these principles, we have been working on human resource development as an important theme.

With the aim of continually evolving to become “the best steelmaker with world-leading capabilities,” we are also working to transform our business structure into a robust one with vertical and horizontal expansion, resilient to changes in the external environment, in addition to implementing the measures in the four pillars of our Medium- to Long-term Management Plan.

To successfully execute these business strategies, close alignment with our personnel strategies is essential. Accordingly, we are advancing three key initiatives: Human Resources Securing, Human Resources Development, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI).

In addition, we are fostering an open and communicative workplace culture which is the foundation of these initiatives by promoting active dialogue across the organization. Through continued investment in people, we aim to fully unlock the full potential of our employees, thereby further enhancing their productivity and capabilities.

We believe that these efforts will lead to the creation of both economic and social value and, ultimately, to the sustainable enhancement of corporate value.

Human resource securing

Amid major environmental changes, including intensified competition for talent due to population decline, increasingly diverse career perspectives among individuals, and greater labor market mobility, securing human resources and further promoting employees’ active participation and advancement are critically important to the successful execution of our management strategies.

Human capital development

At Nippon Steel, we recognize that our source of competitiveness lies in the power of our people, and therefore regard human resources development as an important management priority.

DEI

Through our efforts in promotion of DEI, we are committed to creating a company where diverse employees are empowered and feel proud and fulfilled.

Respect for Human Rights

Nippon Steel respects human rights and strives to create a working environment which allows diverse human resources to be more empowered.
