Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Relevant SDGs

Vision

Realizing a corporate culture that welcomes diversity and harnesses it in business activities

Strategy

Spreading awareness of the Nikon Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy, creating an environment in which diverse human resources can participate fully, and applying DEI to business activities

Basic Approach

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is essential to the Nikon Group, and forms the foundation upon which we strive to fulfill our social responsibility of respecting human rights, to embody our corporate philosophy of Trustworthiness and Creativity, and to continue being a company that contributes to a more prosperous and sustainable society. We believe that engaging diverse values, talent, knowledge, experiences, skills and expertise is vital in adapting to a rapidly changing world to meet the needs of our customers and the communities we serve. Such diversity exists within each one of us, shaped by our characteristics and differences, such as age, gender, nationality, and background. Everyone working in the Nikon Group should feel like part of a team where they can perform at their best and feel comfortable in raising their voice, which will help improve decision-making and nurture innovation that drives the growth of the Nikon Group.
The Nikon Group clearly states our commitment to DEI in the Nikon Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy (Nikon Global DEI Policy). Based on this policy, the Nikon Group as a whole and as individual companies pursue specific initiatives that take into account local laws and regulations, business characteristics, and other factors. Through DEI-conscious business activities, we respond to social issues and customer needs, contributing to sustainable societies in which all strive together.
