Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has received a "Bronze" award in the PRIDE Index 2022, which defines indicators for evaluating a company's commitment to LGBTQ+ and other sexual minorities. The PRIDE Index 2022 is an evaluation index developed for the first time in Japan in 2016 by "work with Pride," a voluntary organization that aims to create LGBTQ+-friendly workplaces in Japan beyond the framework of companies and organizations.

Based on the belief that employees are the source of new values and the Group's sustainable growth, we aim to maximize organizational performance by creating workplace environments in which team members with diversity in every respect, including race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, age, disability, nationality, national origin, social origin, and professional background, can coexist, mutually recognize one another, and actively demonstrate their individual abilities at their very best.
As of September 1, 2021, we established an organization dedicated to Diversity and Inclusion, and are accelerating our efforts as a vital pillar of our human resources strategy.

LGBTQ+ initiatives include the establishment of a consultation service related to sexual orientation and gender identity, training on basic knowledge related to LGBTQ+, and the inclusion of "other" in addition to "male" and "female" in the gender field on the entry form for employee recruitment selection.

We embrace diversity and acknowledge its importance in creating new value. We will promote Diversity and Inclusion as a source of sustainable growth within the Group and continue to enhance our initiatives through a variety of measures.
