Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) has announced its membership in the 30% Club Japan, a global initiative aimed at increasing the representation of women in key corporate decision-making roles. Launched in the United Kingdom in 2010, the 30% Club has since expanded to over 20 countries, with a target of achieving at least 30% female representation on the boards of TOPIX 100 companies in Japan by 2030.
As part of its commitment to Circular Digital-Engineering, Mitsubishi Electric emphasizes the importance of fostering an inclusive workplace where every employee can fully express their individuality and skills. The company’s human-capital strategy aims to “grow together with our people and build a brighter future with the power of human capital.” Mitsubishi Electric believes that enhancing women’s participation through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives is vital for its sustainable growth.
Since 2006, Mitsubishi Electric has focused on work-life balance through its Career Management & Personal Life Well-balanced Plan (CP-Plan) Promotion Center, making the promotion of women’s active participation a core objective. The company has implemented various initiatives to increase female employment and enhance leave systems. In recognition of these efforts, Mitsubishi Electric received the Eruboshi Certification (Grade 2) from Japan’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2020, acknowledging its compliance with the Act on Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace.
