AEON Diversity Equity &
Inclusions
AEON's purpose in promoting diversity management.
This is so that "AEON" (Latin for "eternal") will remain AEON.
Aeon sees promoting diversity not just as a response to social issues, but also as a part of its management strategy.
We will eliminate discrimination based on nationality, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc.
Our basic approach to personnel management is to focus on ability and results, and we make full use of the capabilities of our diverse workforce.
We aim to become an organization that can boldly respond to dramatic changes in the environment and continue to innovate in a flexible manner to meet customer needs.
We call the satisfaction of employees and their families, customers, and the company that is generated by promoting diversity "Daimanzoku," and are engaged in various activities throughout the group.
The entire group is involved in a variety of activities.
FUTURE
Aeon's future
To be the best company in Japan for women
to work and play an active role.
At the general meeting of shareholders held in May 2013, Aeon's president (at that time) stated the company's goals of "having a ratio of female managers at 50%," and "becoming a company where women can work comfortably and play an active role. The company in Japan where women want to work the most." Currently, about 9,000 women are active in managerial positions.
Promoting women's advancement is not to solve social problems, but to achieve corporate growth. That is our belief at Aeon.
To a company where you can work more like yourself.
AEON 's Basic Human Rights Policy states that "We will not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or mental or physical disability." We are working on LGBTQ+ training and ally training, aiming to learn basic knowledge and the latest information on LGBTQ+, create a workplace where each employee can work in their own way, and become an LGBT-friendly company.
Beyond borders, globally
Developing talented people who can thrive.
As part of the AEON Group Mid-term Management Plan, one of the four shifts mentioned is a "shift towards Asia" and building up human resources who can play an active role globally. In Asian countries such as Japan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam, we are actively hiring young individuals who will lead the future, and we are promoting international human resource exchanges throughout the group.
A company where people with disabilities
can challenge their own potential.
As part of our efforts to create a workplace that is easy for everyone to work in, AEON strives to create an environment where people with disabilities can find job satisfaction.
Once a month, we hold online training in collaboration with Abilities Jusco Co., Ltd.*, a subsidiary of AEON Group specializing in the employment of people with disabilities. This training has been changed from the previous training for managers to a more practical training that anyone can take, with more specialized content. It has been expanded to include employees closer to the workplace, providing an opportunity for many people to learn.
*Abilities Jusco Co., Ltd. is a special subsidiary of AEON CO., LTD. established in 1980. Based on the management philosophy of "making it normal for people with disabilities to work in storefronts in society," the company operates a total of nine centers to support the employment transition and retention of people with disabilities and sells welfare products.
A place where everyone can work comfortably,
Aiming to be a company where people can work with satisfaction.
Aeon is working to create an environment that creates a comfortable company where everyone can play an active role. By promoting work style reforms that utilize digital tools, building an environment where people can work efficiently, and increasing autonomous work style options such as telework, we can accommodate diverse values and flexible work styles. In addition, we keep in mind the original goal of promoting diversity, "everyone can play an active role," and focus on initiatives that support it. We are also focusing on the key "IkuBoss" individuals who manage various organizations and help cultivate their subordinates, leading to results and dispelling unconscious biases.
