In a rapidly changing global environment, the ANA Group promotes diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, in order to achieve sustainable growth, new value creation, and to contribute to a better society and life.
Our DEI initiatives in the ANA Group
In the ANA Group, we respect diversity in terms of age, nationality, gender, values, and disabilities, and we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where each individual can work with vitality and enthusiasm.
3 elements of DEI
01
Diversity
nationality, religion, cultural background, generation, disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, values, experience, working style etc.
02
Equity
support based on one’s diversity/ fair challenge opportunities
03
Inclusion

We respect the diversity of our employees and strive to contribute to a better society by creating a workplace where everyone can play an active role.

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.
All employees will make our best effort to alleviate inconveniences in the workplace for those with disabilities.
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.
We will focus on what our employees can do, rather than what they cannot do.
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.
No. of employees with disabilities 35
Employment rate of people with disabilities 2.5%
