Mitsubishi Electric urges women’s participation in decision-making by joining 30% Club Japan

This move follows the company’s efforts in recent years to promote the active participation of women.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced the joining of the 30% Club Japan, a global campaign aiming to boost the number of women in board seats and executive leadership of companies all over the world.

By joining the 30% Club Japan, Mitsubishi Electric will collaborate with member companies and organisations in this campaign, and further promote the increased participation of women in its own workforce and society as a whole.

This move follows the company’s efforts in recent years to promote the active participation of women. Such efforts include:

• establishing the Career Management & Personal Life Well-balanced Plan (CP-Plan) Promotion Center in 2006, and implementing work-life balance initiatives, including positioning the promotion of women's active participation as a core objective;
• establishing the Diversity Promotion Office to strengthen diversity initiatives, including for LGBTQ, people with disabilities, and foreign nationalities in 2021; and
• renaming the Diversity Promotion Office to the DE&I Promotion Office under the Global Human Resources Division, Corporate Human Resources Group, and also the Sustainability Innovation Group in April 2024 to steadily enhance the company's environment and culture in which everyone can work comfortably, fairly and inclusively.

The manufacturer of electrical and electronic products believes that endorsing the increased participation of women through diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives contributes to the company's sustainable growth.

This echoes its human capital strategy and commitment to ensuring that each member of its workforce can fully express their individuality and skills in every workplace.
