DEI Education
Nikon continues efforts to communicate the need for DEI by broadcasting top messages from the president and the heads of each business unit. We made awareness reform and skills development a management-level matter in fiscal year 2024. These issues play an important role in organizational operations, and we treat these issues as a priority to address under a shared global theme. Nikon conducted group DEI training for personnel at the section manager level and above, as well as networking events for female managers in collaboration with other companies. We also held online workshops for CEOs of Group companies in and outside Japan to deepen their understanding of DEI.
Revised Nikon Human Rights Policy
We continue to pursue higher levels of respect for human rights in
response to changes in social demands and business activities. In fiscal year 2024, we reviewed
the policy after a human rights impact assessment, a close look of our past efforts, and other
factors, revising the Nikon Human Rights Policy in April 2025.
The Nikon Human Rights Policy
defines the Nikon Group approach to respecting the human rights of all stakeholders involved in
our business activities and our efforts to this end, based on our philosophy of Trustworthiness
and Creativity.
