Materiality: Creating workplaces that support activities by diverse individuals
Environmental awareness
Based on the Earth Value of “Diversity,” we strive to achieve workplaces that support participation by diverse individuals. We are aware that putting in place workplace environments with attention to employees’ health and safety, and respecting human rights, maintaining diversity, and ensuring fair and appropriate treatment, enables us to achieve workplaces that enhance motivation and allow each and every employee to grow, and that this ties into the creation of long-term value for the company.
Basic approach
Based on the Earth Value of “Diversity,” the Earth Group strives to achieve workplaces that support participation by diverse individuals.
We have created the “Earth HR Philosophy” and the “Earth HR Management Policy” to realize the corporate philosophy and management goals.
The following initiatives have been conducted to create workplaces that support participation by diverse individuals.
- Promote the use of annual paid holidays.
- Increase the ratio of women in managerial positions, to promote the active participation of female employees.

Earth Diversity Declaration
People are everything: Diversity
Based on the value of “People are everything” shared by employees, we are aware that diversity is a central driving force for the growth of the Earth Group. The concept of diversity includes many factors, including gender, race and nationality, disabilities, age, sexual orientation or gender identity, religion or beliefs, career experience, and workstyles. The Earth Group has declared that in order to ensure continuous growth, we will strive to cultivate an organizational culture that fosters individuals who can understand and accept the differences among colleagues in the workplace.

Health management
In 2019, we put forward the “Earth Health Declaration” as a message from top management, and established a Health Management Promotion Team, placing executive officers in positions of responsibility. We also established a Healthcare Team within the HR Management Department, to follow up on health management for employees. These two teams will further strengthen “data health,” analyzing health checkup results along with industrial physicians and public health nurses, as well as “collaborative health,” promoting specific measures in collaboration with the Otsuka Pharmaceutical Health Insurance Association, and will continue to promote the physical and mental health of employees and their families.
