NYK’s Diversity and Inclusion Efforts Recognized for a Second Consecutive Year with Best Workplace 2024 D&I Award
Dec. 20, 2024
Respecting the diversity of human resources and creating an organization in which everyone can play an active role
On December 18, NYK was presented with a Best Workplace 2024 D&I Award, one of Japan's most significant awards certifying companies committed to diversity and inclusion (D&I). This was the second straight year for NYK’s D&I to be recognized.
Established by JobRainbow Co., Ltd. in 2021, the award aims to realize a society where D&I is commonplace by updating "the way D&I should be" to meet the needs of the times and expand the number of D&I promoters in society as a whole.
JobRainbow Co., Ltd. ranks a company's D&I efforts using a 100-item "Diversity Score" to place a company in one of four categories.* NYK received high marks in the gender gap, childcare/nursing care, disability, and multicultural criteria.
Of the more than 35,000 employees in the NYK Group, approximately 80% are from overseas. Since last fiscal year, NYK has released its “CX Story” and implemented a variety of measures to promote an environment and workplace culture in which a diverse workforce can thrive. In September, NYK formulated the D&I Promise, and in October the president's message on gender diversity was distributed.
With the aim of achieving sustainable corporate growth, NYK will continue to strive to foster diversity in its human resources and an inclusive organizational culture that respects and welcomes diversity.
