The second category of the PERSOL Group's materiality is “Foundation for achieving sustainable growth”. We have selected four issues in this category: active roles of diverse personnel, strengthening data governance, respect for human rights, and responding to climate change.
Active roles of diverse personnel is related to development of a corporate culture and environment that leverages diversity. Strengthening data governance is related to improving the user environment through the strengthening of privacy governance. Respect for human rights is associated with initiatives conforming to international norms and measures to reduce human rights risks that we implement as a responsible company. Responding to climate change is related mainly to carbon neutrality initiatives and environmental (GX: Green Transformation) human resource services. These issues are also important factors (a foundation for growth) for solving the material issues related to “solving social issues through our business”, including “the creation of work opportunities”.
