In its 2025 Mid-Term Management Plan, NEC has identified "Accelerating Diversity," the source of innovation, as one of the pillars for promoting transformation of people and culture. The success of a diverse workforce, including non-Japanese employees, is essential to the creation of innovation.
In FY2021, the Non-Japanese Employees Community, an Employee Resource Group (ERG) was established. They have been working to foster a more inclusive corporate culture through cross-departmental exchanges and initiatives aimed at resolving workplace issues.
