Initiatives for employment of people with disabilities

All ANA Group companies hire people with disabilities not because of legal requirements, but because it is the natural responsibility of a socially-conscious public enterprise and because these employees are valuable assets to the Group.
Therefore it is important that all Group employees possess a correct understanding of disabilities and the diversity of people with disabilities. By implementing the following policies, our goal is to create a vibrant, dynamic organization where each employee can work with confidence and pride, and reach his or her full potential.

1. All employees will make our best effort to alleviate inconveniences in the workplace for those with disabilities.
2. We will fully appreciate one another and respect each person’s individuality. Employees with disabilities will be free to communicate their needs to their colleagues, and will help those they work with to gain a better understanding from those around them.
3. We will focus on what our employees can do, rather than what they cannot do.
4. The ANA Group believes that each employee, regardless of his or her disability, is indispensable to the success of the business. Therefore we will provide opportunities to all employees to be successful.
