Unlocking Infinite Potential in People to
Enhance Corporate Value through the
Self-Actualization of Diverse Employees
With our management philosophy of conducting business with integrity, we are committed to contributing to society through manufacturing, and are working to develop our personnel and create comfortable work environments as the foundation for such activities. Respect for human rights is also important, and is the basis for various activities with our domestic and overseas Group companies and business partners.

Human Resource Strategy for Achieving the 2030 Business Plan
At Toyoda Gosei, under the 2030 Business Plan, we are redefining economic and social value while advancing reforms to our business structure. In doing so, we aim to adapt flexibly to environmental changes and foster a polymer-like organization capable of creating new value by energizing both people and the organization.
The foundation of the value we provide to society lies in our people. By combining the specialized expertise cultivated through polymer technologies, such as rubber and plastic, with the organizational strength to transform that expertise into products, we are striving to become a polymer-like organization. This will enable us to drive the business growth and structural reforms outlined in the 2030 Business Plan. To achieve this, we are advancing our human resource strategies based on the following two key themes.
1. Allocation, Development, and Retention Based on a Talent Portfolio
To realize business structure reforms, we are transforming the composition of our workforce. We have systematically defined the necessary types of talent and their areas of expertise as a “talent portfolio.” Guided by this framework, we are focusing on planned development, appropriate allocation, and reliable retention of talent. At the same time, we support the growth of each individual team member, fostering their career development.
2. Realizing Well-Being for a Diverse Workforce
Enhancing the well-being of our members is essential for ensuring sustained business growth. By fostering psychological safety and enhancing engagement, we aim to create an organizational and workplace environment where members support one another and can perform to their fullest potential.
Through these two key themes of our human resource strategy, we will maximize our expertise in polymer technologies and organizational capabilities to achieve sustainable business growth as a polymer-like organization, balancing both economic and social value.
■2030 Business Plan and Human Resource Strategy

Allocation, Development, and Retention Based on a Talent Portfolio (Aligning Business and Human Resource Strategies)
As part of our efforts to support business growth and enhance our business foundation, we have consistently worked on medium-term workforce planning. This involves identifying the necessary number of personnel in priority areas based on the needs of each department, streamlining existing operations, and tackling the challenge of transforming our workforce structure through a resource shift to these priority areas.
Moving forward, under the 2030 Business Plan, we will build upon this direction of transforming our workforce structure as a human resources strategy toward 2030.
We will reassess company-wide priority focus areas and personnel requirements needed to achieve the plan’s objectives. By organizing these into a talent portfolio aligned with our business portfolio, we will not only manage workforce size but also improve the management of workforce quality.
To clarify the types of talent we wish to cultivate for achieving the 2030 Business Plan, we have defined the “Three Pillars of Talent” within our talent portfolio, as shown in the diagram below.
■Business Strategy and Required Talent

■The Three Pillars of Talent
Talent for Advancing Key Businesses | Personnel responsible for themes directly tied to the key businesses of the 2030 Business Plan |
---|---|
Talent for Enhancing Business Foundations | Personnel who enhance business foundations across all operations |
Next-Generation Management Talent | Next-generation leaders and overseas site heads who will lead the two areas above |
These pillars are further divided into 15 distinct talent types, categorized to define the ideal talent portfolio required. By identifying gaps between our current talent and the talent needed to achieve the 2030 Business Plan, we will develop strategic plans for talent acquisition, allocation, and development.
Furthermore, to support the career development and personal growth of our employees, we will use the talent portfolio to clarify career aspirations and facilitate the acquisition of necessary expertise.
Talent Supporting Advancement of Key Businesses and Enhancing of Business Foundations
The first pillar of the “Three Pillars of Talent,” Talent for Advancing Key Businesses, includes personnel involved in the development of the key businesses outlined in the 2030 Business Plan: Safety Systems, Interior/ Exterior Components, and Materials/New Businesses & New Products. To achieve the business plan, efforts will focus on allocating and acquiring these talents.
By clarifying the required talent and expertise in the talent portfolio, the Company will shift resources within internal talent while also enhancing recruitment of new talent with specialized skills.
The second pillar, Talent for Enhancing Business Foundations, refers to personnel who support foundational functions across all business areas within the Company to achieve the 2030 Business Plan.
This includes talent essential for expanding sales, enhancing production in key global regions, and advancing DX (digital transformation). Similar to the Talent for Advancing Key Businesses, efforts will be made to acquire, allocate, and develop this talent.
■Examples of Required Talent

Acquiring and Developing Next-Generation Management Talent
The third pillar focuses on “Next-Generation Management Talent,” who will be responsible for the Company’s future management. To systematically develop future leaders, we have clarified the key requirements for executive positions essential to executing management strategies. We are also implementing a succession planning system to select candidates, plan their education, and assign them to challenging roles (tough assignments).
Efforts are also underway to appoint and develop national staff executives at overseas sites. To accelerate these proactive appointments in various regions, we established a basic policy and targets for appointing national staff executives (vice president-level and above) in FY2021. Each business unit is actively working toward achieving these goals.
In addition, we aim to achieve a 40% ratio of national staff executives by 2025. To this end, we are progressing with evaluating high-potential talent and creating development plans across all regions. Key initiatives include providing “Fundamentals of Management Skills Training” and “Issue-Based Problem Solving Training” for national staff executive candidates.
We are also holding regional succession committees in the Americas, Southeast Asia, and China to share updates on development and recruitment activities for executive successors, as well as discuss challenges.

Toyoda Gosei Provides Many Different Educational Programs
To improve the skills and abilities needed in working at Toyoda Gosei, we are encouraging human resources development in three key areas: problem-solving, which is fundamental to work; the ability to work in teams based on communication; and basic skills for strong on-site abilities.
We also conduct training to develop Project Leaders who can bring about reforms in order to respond to changes in the business environment, and digital talent training to promote DX.
For the career independence of employees, we offer career design and other training and encourage self-study with e-learning. We strive to develop employees with a high degree of self-motivation who can think and act for themselves.
■Level-Specific Education System

New Employee OJT System
For early employee education, we have introduced a “New employee OJT system” for independence of young employees within three years of joining the company. We provide both on-the-job training and classroom training in the workplace so that they can perform their work according to the PDCA cycle.
Interviews in the pivotal second, fourth and sixth years in the company help them display their abilities, understand their individual growth, discover educational problems early, and take measures to counter them.

Special Skills Dojos, Maintenance Skills Dojos, and Mold Skills Dojos Raise the Level of Skill on the Manufacturing Floor
Improving the skills of each worker is an indispensable part of enhancing manufacturing capabilities at production sites. We therefore started up three dojos in FY2019 with the basic policy of “cultivating a culture that values skills.”
The Special Skills Dojo is designed to help managers and supervisors acquire specialized skills in addition to their supervisory duties. We have started a training program where they learn the mechanisms that lead to defects to better enable them to take corrective actions.
In the Maintenance Skills Dojo launched to train maintenance personnel, we have added application-level training to respond to the shift to robotics and IT. To promote autonomation through the use of collaborative robots on manufacturing floors, general shop floor workers are also being trained in robot teaching skills. We have also created a curriculum to train people who will bring autonomation to existing processes with the use of collaborative robots, and have been training these automation facilitators since FY2022.
The Mold Skills Dojo provides Basic Skills Training and Trainer Training for mold maintenance personnel at domestic and overseas locations. So far a total of 100 people have been through this dojo. We started Basic Skills Training for young shop floor workers in Japan in 2020. A total of 30 people have taken the training and are using what they learned in their work.
We have been entering the Skills Olympics since 2017. By helping young employees to acquire the high-level skills and knowledge related to their essential work, we are striving to develop employees who can play active roles on the production floor in the future. With these ongoing initiatives, we hope to achieve strong manufacturing floors that support the company.

Project Leader Training in the Age of VUCA
In addition to training based on problem solving, we believe people need to develop the expertise, capabilities, and skills required to respond to changes in the business environment and implement management strategies. We have started a training program where people learn new ideas, approaches, and other skills to create new value and take the lead in innovating business operations. Two types of project leaders are trained: 1) Business leaders who create new businesses and products, and 2) DX leaders who lead digital human resources and promote DX. This training has been fully implemented since September 2022.

Digital Personnel Development for People Who Can Carry Out DX
In response to the rapidly changing business environment, we are overhauling production processes and products using data and digital technology. While transforming our business model, we are also transforming the work itself and the organization, processes, corporate culture and atmosphere. We will continue this DX to gain a competitive advantage. Training people who can do this is an urgent task, and in January 2022 we introduced a new educational program to train core digital personnel.
With this we will ensure business innovations and our competitiveness in the market, so that we can grow as an organization that can respond flexibly and rapidly to market changes.
■Digital Personnel Education System
Necessary DX personnel | FY2021 | FY2022 | FY2023 | Cumulative goals by FY2025 | ||

Realizing Well-Being for a Diverse Workforce
We believe that realizing well-being is essential for the sustainable growth of our business. To achieve this, we are working to ensure psychological safety and enhance engagement through the experiences employees have after joining the Company.
To ensure psychological safety, we have focused on fostering two-way communication, encouraging dialogues between labor and management, and fostering an open workplace culture where employees feel comfortable expressing their honest opinions. The relationship between employees and their supervisors is particularly important for fostering individual vitality.
Through management reforms, we are striving to create safe spaces built on empathy and trust.
Furthermore, we believe that employees’ recognition of their sense of purpose at the Company leads to greater motivation and engagement in their work. To this end, we are implementing initiatives to promote alignment with our vision. We are also committed to creating an environment where employees can build their careers and access growth opportunities, supporting each individual to shine on a stage where they can thrive.

Experiences That Support Engagement
Since 2021, we have conducted engagement surveys targeting all employees, including those on international and domestic assignments, with the aim of improving employee engagement. While assessing the effectiveness of workplace culture reforms initiated in 2015, we have been tracking engagement scores, which reflect employees’ sense of belonging to the Company and their willingness to contribute through their work. These insights have guided our initiatives to create more fulfilling workplaces. The survey’s response rate has never fallen below 97%, and scores for questions about the expectation that the survey will lead to positive change have consistently remained above 66%.
In 2024, in light of diversifying values and changes in social conditions, we updated the survey to focus on measuring experiences that support psychological safety and engagement, which are essential for realizing the well-being of each and every employee. These experiences assess whether employees’ work and career align with their expectations and needs. With this update, the number of questions used to measure engagement was reduced*1 from five to three. The target score remains unchanged, with a goal of reaching 70% in 2025. Based on the survey results, we aim to identify the sources of motivation for each individual, fostering higher engagement and ultimately improving their overall well-being. To achieve this, we implement management initiatives that align with employee expectations by striving to use an approach from the employees’ perspective.
Engagement Scores

- *1 Engagement score: The average percentage of positive responses (response of 4 or 5 on a 5-point scale) to the following three questions:
・I am willing to contribute more than what is expected of me in my work.
・I feel a sense of personal accomplishment through my work.
・I would actively recommend working at the Company to my acquaintances.
Workplace Culture and Management Transformation
In 2015, a union-conducted survey revealed low levels of intrinsic job satisfaction among employees, prompting us to initiate workplace culture reforms. Since then, we have implemented a range of measures, including fostering workplace communication, delivering top-level messages, launching committees to enhance job satisfaction, and hosting lectures by external speakers.
These efforts have addressed both workplace culture and management practices in a sustained manner.
The results of our Experience Survey indicate that these initiatives have yielded measurable improvements in workplace culture in areas such as workplace cooperation and communication. However, challenges remain regarding psychological safety and the ability of supervisors to inspire motivation among their team members. In 2024, we will intensify our efforts to promote further management transformation and enhance opportunities for dialogue.

■Management Transformation
A three-year “Empathy-Driven OMOIYARI Communication Training” (five sessions total) conducted by a psychiatrist is being implemented for all executives and managers. (Session 1 in 2023, Sessions 2 and 3 in 2024, and Sessions 4 and 5 in 2025) In addition to this, workplace leaders will continue participating in “Creating an Empathetic Workplace Training,” led by external instructors, building on last year's efforts.
Empathy-Driven OMOIYARI Communication Training
Participants: 1,207 (Session 1, FY2023)
Creating an Empathetic Workplace Training
Participants: Section Managers: 156, Group Leaders: 275
■Dialogue Activities
To put the results of these training programs into practice, roundtable meetings are held in each workplace, providing opportunities for top management and department heads to engage in dialogue with team members.
Vital and Cohesive Company Culture
Toyoda Gosei holds various companywide events to foster a sense of unity in the workplace. The eighth all-Toyoda Gosei ekiden distance relay race was held this year with total of 1,040 runners participating in the event from both Group companies and suppliers. Approximately 1,000 workplace colleagues and family members came out to cheer them on. Other events were the Morimachi Summer Festival held at the Morimachi Plant and Family Day, when employees invited their families to the company. The TG Festival to deepen family ties and interactions with the local community, and the TG Olympics where various blocks in the company compete athletically are other fun events normally held each year, but unfortunately in 2024 had to be cancelled due to typhoons. Through these events, ties among employees and with the community are strengthened. The events are planned as a way for the company to show hospitality and express its gratitude for the daily support, understanding, and cooperation it receives.
Vision Alignment
To communicate the intent behind the 2030 Business Plan, top executives have personally visited workplaces to engage in direct dialogue with team members and labor union representatives. Building on this, in 2024, leaders from each division will host “Sharing Our Vision” meetings at all divisions to articulate their thoughts on the Company's future and business strategies.
Encouraging each individual to view the 2030 Business Plan as personally relevant and to reflect on their role within it enhances their sense of purpose and engagement at work. By fostering opportunities for dialogue, management and supervisors aim to align with team members and clearly convey personalized expectations, saying, “This is how I hope you can contribute.” These efforts not only ensure the vision is well understood but also promote deeper alignment and empathy across the organization.
Supporting Career Autonomy
To inspire growth among mid-career and younger employees, a “Enhancing Job Satisfaction Working Group” was established in 2021. As part of this initiative, career development efforts were branded as “Waku-Career Initiatives,” focusing on three pillars: visualizing careers, raising awareness, and promoting career development. These three pillars have been integrated into company-wide programs.
These efforts have yielded tangible improvements in engagement among mid-career and younger employees (those in their 20s and 30s) year after year. However, challenges remain for employees in their 50s and 60s.
Through dialogue with their supervisors about roles and career design, the Company aims to boost motivation and engagement among this demographic as well.
■Examples of Waku-Career Initiatives

Initiatives to Enhance Corporate Value
To enrich employee benefits and support their wealth-building efforts, the Company has introduced a Restricted Stock Incentive Program tailored for employee shareholder associations. This initiative aims to foster a deeper sense of shared value between individual employees and the Company's shareholders and to enhance employees’ sense of participation in management decisions.
Shareholder association membership rate: Increased from 45% to 84% (as of October 2024)
Respect for Human Rights
Basic Philosophy
The Toyoda Gosei Group respects and supports the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and other international norms. The Toyoda Gosei Group Charter for Business Ethics lays out our basic principles of “respecting human rights and the diversity, character, and individuality of each person and striving to create workplaces that are free of discrimination and harassment and always healthy, pleasant and safe, based on labor-management cooperation.” This policy clearly prohibits discrimination, harassment, forced labor, child labor, and promotes respect for human rights.
■Toyoda Gosei Group Human Rights Policy
In order to accelerate existing efforts to Respect Human Rights, we established the “Toyoda Gosei Group Human Rights Policy” in April 2022. The policy was developed with support from external experts, and then reviewed by all Officers and Chiefs of Divisions at the Sustainability Meeting and approved at the Board of Directors Meeting.
In our human rights policy, we recognize everyone we do business as a business partner, and declare that if any business partner or other affiliate is somehow involved in human rights violations, we will apply pressure on that party so that human rights are not violated.
Also, we have shared the “Sustainability Guideline for Suppliers” with our suppliers and asked for their cooperation.
Initiatives System
Respect for human rights activities are discussed at meetings attended by Directors, and the results of those discussions are reported at Sustainability Meetings headed by the company president.
In addition, the Corporate Planning Division, Human Resources Division, Purchasing Division, Legal Division and other related departments regularly coordinate to advance efforts for human rights.
Human Rights/Due Diligence
In alignment with the “UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights,” the Group began implementing human rights due diligence in 2022.
Human rights due diligence refers to a series of processes that identify negative human rights impacts in a company’s operations, supply chain, and other business relationships; prevent or mitigate those negative impacts; track implementation and results; and communicate how the negative impacts have been addressed.
■Overall framework for initiatives related to human rights

Human Rights Impact Assessment
As part of our human rights due diligence, we first conducted a human rights impact assessment together with external experts to identify the human rights issues within the Group that should be prioritized (salient human rights issues). Assessments of priority issues are also being conducted for domestic and international supply chains, and results will be disclosed in FY2024.
To obtain an overall picture of human rights risks associated with the Group’s business activities, products, and services, we first conducted a desktop survey to uncover human rights risks in the Group’s value chain. In addition, as a result of the survey, we conducted a questionnaire survey of Group companies, plus interviews in countries and regions with high risks, to confirm the actual status of and issues in efforts in this area. Then, based on the findings of these surveys, we evaluated and prioritized each human rights issue and identified salient human rights issues within the Group.
■Process of Human Rights Impact Assessment
-
Desktop Survey
- Comprehensively designate human rights risks specific to the Group’s business areas, products, countries/regions, and companies, utilizing indices and reports published by international organizations, governments, NGOs and others, internal documents, and the knowledge of external experts.
-
Survey & Interviews
- Survey: Conduct a web-based questionnaire survey for the entire Group to comprehensively investigate the situation of each company.
- Interview: Conduct interviews with Group companies in countries and industries found to be at high risk based on the desktop survey, and investigate their management situation and past cases.
-
Prioritization/identification of salient human rights issues
- Evaluate the degree of impact on human rights based on the results of the desktop survey, online survey, and interviews.
- Based on the evaluation results, and through consultation with external experts, identify human rights issues that should be prioritized as “salient human rights issues“ for the Group after approval by management.
As a result of the assessment, the three issues below were identified as salient human rights issues for which Toyoda Gosei should strengthen its management structure, and which should be prioritized.
With the cooperation of related departments, we will promote initiatives to prevent and mitigate negative impacts associated with the identified salient human rights issues. In addition, since the situation surrounding human rights is constantly changing, we will continue to conduct human rights impact assessments on a regular basis.
- * NB. Although “occupational health and safety” was also raised as an important human rights issue in the evaluation process, “occupational safety and health” was excluded as a priority issue in human rights due diligence because a Group-wide management system has already been established for this and initiatives are being promoted based on the PDCA cycle.

Initiatives
■Employee Awareness and Education Activities
Up to this time, Toyoda Gosei has provided education on respect for human rights on various occasions, such as when people join the company and when they are promoted. However, with the establishment of the Toyoda Gosei Group Human Rights Policy, the company has begun hosting presentations by outside lecturers on well-being and DEI, giving explanations of the company’s human rights policy in company newsletters, providing online training for technical and administrative staff, and developing awareness tools for skilled workers. Monthly communications are issued to create workplaces free of harassment and discrimination. Other efforts include training of representatives who will have a high sensitivity to human rights, including sending personnel managers to outside training for professional learning on human rights problems.
Target | Description | Frequency |
---|---|---|
Managers | Training on basic human rights knowledge, harassment and unconscious bias | 1 time/year |
All employees | Provide foundational content on human rights through e-learning | 1 time/year |
Human rights managers | Participate in external study sessions to cover fundamental knowledge and current trends | As needed |
Managers of Group companies | Conduct training on basic human rights knowledge and unconscious bias | 1 time/year |
■Harassment Prevention
Together with training for executives, managers, supervisors and others, a “TG Positive Workplace Support Squad” report is sent out about once a month and all employees strive to create a healthy and pleasant workplace free of harassment. In particular, ongoing training is provided to all people in supervisory and above positions to decrease harassment.
■Foreign Technical Interns
In 2023, a written survey was conducted on the employment situation at domestic Group companies, and it was confirmed that a total of 78 trainees had been accepted at six companies (as of July 2023). Each of these companies was asked to conduct a voluntary inspection of the workplace environment, health and safety, and document management similar to the inspections issued by the Japan International Trainee & Skilled Worker Cooperation Organization (JITCO). All group companies were then visited and on-site surveys were conducted, including trainee interviews and workplace tours. Toyoda Gosei provides guidance and implements immediate corrective measures for any shortcomings identified to ensure that there are no violations that could lead to human rights abuses. In these surveys, it was learned that more than half of trainees come from Vietnam, and efforts are also being made to ensure that fees charged are appropriate.
■Respect for the Rights of Workers
Toyoda Gosei respects the rights of workers to freely associate and to collective bargaining, based on the applicable laws of each country. We guarantee the rights of employees to communicate openly and directly to management without fear of retaliation, threats, or harassment. While respecting local laws, we will support those methods to protect workers rights to the fullest possible extent.
■Overwork Prevention and Appropriate Pay
Toyoda Gosei complies with all standards set in the labor laws of each country for working hours and days off. We distribute a pamphlet to all employees, including those overseas, to familiarize them with the upholding of labor standards.
We manage total working hours records to prevent excessive working hours and overwork, and try to take measures to reduce the total hours. In setting the salaries of employees, we confirm that they fulfill the minimum wage of each region.
■Prohibition of Forced Labor and Child Labor
Toyoda Gosei complies with the laws and regulations of each country. We do not use child labor, which robs them of educational opportunities and makes them work from an early age so that their development is impeded. We also do use any kind of forced labor through violence or threats, or forms of modern slavery in any form, including human trafficking.
When concluding labor contracts with foreign workers in Japan, we check their alien registration certificate or other documents to ensure that they are permitted to work, and that their age is not a problem. We do not keep their passports or other personal identification at the company, and endeavor so that they can freely change their residence based on their own choices.
■Encouragement of Social and Human Resource Development
To improve the skills and abilities needed in working at Toyoda Gosei, we encourage human resources development in three key areas: problem-solving, which is fundamental to work; the ability to work in teams based on communication; and basic skills for strong on-site abilities. We also conduct training to develop project leaders who can bring about reforms in order to respond to changes in the business environment, and digital talent training to promote DX. We offer career design and other training for the career independence of employees and encourage self-study with e-learning and other efforts for the development of employees with a high degree of self-motivation, who can think and act for themselves.
■Efforts at Domestic and International Group Companies
Self-check surveys are conducted at 61 Group companies (as of April 2023) in Japan and other countries to understand the status of human resources management compliance and human rights in accordance with the laws of each country and the Toyoda Gosei Group Charter for Business Ethics. Regular study sessions related to human rights, harassment, and diversity and inclusion are held within the Group to share knowledge that leads to improvement activities at each company. Head office employees also visit Group companies to provide training on site.
■Efforts for the Respect of Human Rights Throughout the Supply Chain
Toyoda Gosei also seeks to ensure that suppliers do not violate human rights or contribute to human rights abuses.
With the same procedures as for domestic and international Toyoda Gosei Group companies, we have conducted interviews and identified the following as risks.
Classification | Significant human rights issues |
---|---|
Domestic suppliers | Harassment, migrant workers (foreign technical trainees), DE&I |
Overseas suppliers | Child labor, forced labor, migrant workers |
The company’s Supplier Sustainability Guidelines includes necessary items for the respect of human rights, such as prohibitions on forced labor and discrimination. Suppliers are asked to understand and implement these guidelines.
Toyoda Gosei provides suppliers with check sheets for the purpose of becoming aware of hidden risks and taking early corrective measures, and has suppliers conduct self-inspections.
■Grievance Mechanisms
Toyoda Gosei has established internal and external channels that are available to employees of both Toyoda Gosei itself and Group companies. People can seek advice and make reports anonymously, and efforts are being made to protect the people who use these channels so that they will not be treated unfairly as a result of coming forward with concerns or reports.
An internal consultation service has also been established for matters including harassment, child and nursing care, and employment support for people with disabilities, and the company is striving to create an environment where employees can work in mutual respect.
A supplier consultation service has also been established for inquiries and reports from suppliers, while all stakeholders can consult or make reports through the “Contact us” section on the company’s website. We have constructed mechanisms for community residents and all other stakeholders inside and outside the company to make reports, with a contact point posted on our company website.
■Dialogues with Stakeholders
Toyoda Gosei establishes opportunities for regular dialogue with all stakeholders, including employees, shareholders/investors, community residents, and suppliers in coordination with related departments. We actively disclose necessary information.
■Status of Compliance Violations Related to Human Rights and Labor
The Toyoda Gosei Group had no human rights violations or infractions, or serious compliance violations, such as those related to labor laws and regulations, in FY2023.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)
Basic Philosophy
To incorporate diverse values and fresh perspectives into management, the Company has actively implemented the recruitment, development, and promotion of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and attributes.
Since 2020, the Company has focused on creating spaces and opportunities where diverse talents are welcomed and can thrive. Efforts have been directed toward fostering a culture of inclusion by developing systems, policies, and educational frameworks to support this goal.
In 2023, to further embed the Company’s diversity initiatives, employees were invited to propose ideas for a symbolic logo and slogan. The chosen slogan, “Let’s advance together towards a diverse future through DE&I.”

Key Initiatives for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I)
To ensure the success of DE&I initiatives, we have developed an action plan centered on the principles of understanding and learning about diversity, supporting one another, and translating these efforts into meaningful actions.
We are implementing the following key initiatives to raise awareness among all employees, including lectures by external speakers, community activities planned by volunteers, and the establishment of “Empathy Month” as an awareness-raising event.

Key Initiatives | Description and Key Activities | |
---|---|---|
1. Women’s Empowerment | Administrative and Technical Roles |
|
Skilled Roles |
|
|
2. People with Disabilities |
|
|
3. Support for Work- Life Balance |
|
|
4. LGBTQ |
|
■Women’s Empowerment
In the manufacturing industry, the proportion of female employees tends to be low, and workplace environments are often designed with male employees as the default. This, combined with a lack of female role models, has delayed the promotion and development of female managers in the Company. To address this, we have set a target of promoting 45 female managers by 2025 and 100 by 2030, accelerating initiatives to support women’s empowerment.
As one specific measure for administrative staff, we launched the Encourage Program, which helps participants better understand themselves, identify their strengths, and envision leadership roles that align with those strengths. For employees in manufacturing roles, we have started initiatives led by female leaders to create workplaces where everyone can work comfortably.
Recent measures to create better workplaces for women include installing shelves for sanitary products in women’s restrooms and assigning female consultants at each factory to create an environment where employees can easily seek advice.
To further boost motivation, we actively organize exchange programs with other manufacturing companies. These programs provide opportunities for employees to learn from and engage with diverse role models of women thriving in manufacturing settings.
■Employment of People with Disabilities
The Company has consistently conducted hiring of individuals with disabilities, particularly in manufacturing roles. To help prospective employees gain a clear understanding of what working in a manufacturing environment entails, we conduct pre-employment internships in collaboration with special support schools. By experiencing practical work during these internships, candidates are able to adapt more quickly to the workplace after joining the Company, setting the stage for their success.
From FY2024, we are enhancing our efforts to hire individuals for staff roles. This includes expanding the range of job categories available and actively participating in job fairs specifically designed for individuals with disabilities. These efforts aim to position the Company as an employer of choice. To ensure long-term employee satisfaction, we have assigned life consultants at each business site. These consultants conduct regular care meetings to address concerns and help create a more supportive and accommodating workplace environment.
■Support for Work-Life Balance
We aim to create systems that enable employees to balance their careers with childcare, caregiving, or medical treatment while staying true to themselves.
Additionally, we are fostering a workplace culture rooted in mutual support, reflecting the Japanese “otagaisama” spirit. Since 2023, we have been holding seminars for employees aged 55 and above to equip them with foundational knowledge for balancing caregiving and work. These seminars cover topics such as collaboration with local community support centers and basic caregiving techniques. For childcare support, we have implemented policies that exceed the standards set by the Childcare and Caregiver Leave Act. These include extended childcare leave until a child turns two years old and special leave that can be used for school events, among other purposes.
We have also actively promoted awareness campaigns targeting supervisors and workplace teams to encourage greater usage of childcare leave. These efforts have led to a significant increase in male employees taking childcare leave. Recognizing these initiatives, we were awarded the Platinum Kurumin Certification in FY2024.
■Creating Systems and Environments for Flexible Working Styles and That Support Increased Activity
In addition to systems that exceed the legal requirements for support in balancing work with childcare, nursing care, and medical treatment, we are fostering a workplace culture of mutual consideration. In working to achieve the company target of a childcare leave-taking rate of 100% among male employees, which is a company target for 2030, we actively conduct activities for the understanding of mutual support, not only in systems but with seminars for superiors and raising awareness through our in-house newsletters. These efforts were recognized with “Platinum Kurumin” certification in FY2024. For nursing care, we offer seminars for employees 55 years and older to gain knowledge that will help them balance work even when directly involved in nursing care. In FY2024, we began information seminars on the long-term nursing care system and insurance for employees at the milestone age of 40. To achieve a work-life balance, we strive to create an environment where all employees can continue to work with a sense of security and fulfillment, with work-life balance support and flexible work styles.

■LGBTQ Inclusion
In 2023, we introduced a Partnership Recognition System to create an environment where employees, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender, can work authentically and vibrantly. Initiatives include hosting lectures for managers and developing internal educational guidebooks. In recognition of these efforts, we were awarded the Silver Rating in the PRIDE Index for FY2024.
Other activities
■Mid-career hires
Toyoda Gosei hires people mid-career in order to bring in know-how and knowledge not available in the company. We began a new effort in 2024 to hire foreign national employees and hire for open positions to advance the active roles of women. Currently, approximately 30% of company employees are hired mid-career, and the company is creating a workplace environment where these employees can play active roles, providing them with introductory training after they join the company and education in each workplace. These employees are also interviewed by human resources staff with regard to any problems or difficulties they may have.
Trends in number of mid-career hires
■Continuing Roles of Senior Employees
We will create an environment in which senior employees, who are steadily increasing in number, can continue to work with a sense of security and high motivation after the age of 60. This will create new value by combining their wealth of experience, techniques, and skills with the ideas and perspectives of younger employees. To build a foundation for this, we have raised the retirement age from 60 to 65, effective April 2022. We will continue the initiatives shown in the table on the right to encourage employees to continue working enthusiastically and vigorously until age 65.
We are continuing activities to create an environment in which employees, regardless of age, can maximize their potential and to further improve engagement (target: positive response rate of 65% or higher for employee engagement (50s and 60s)).
For example, as a means of improving motivation, we conduct career training for employees in their 50s, providing them with opportunities to exchange opinions with their peers and rethink such matters as how they will work in the future and how to demonstrate the techniques, skills, and experience they have cultivated in the workplace.
In addition, to improve health and physical fitness, we are stepping up activities to promote health through regular discussions with employees, such as holding health seminars at milestone ages and reviewing cafeteria menus to improve dietary habits.

Safety and Health
Basic Philosophy
Basic Philosophy on Safety and Health
The Toyoda Gosei Group considers employee safety and mental and physical health to be one of the most important management issues, and we do our best to ensure secure and pleasant workplace environments for all business activities.
Safety and Health Initiatives
In the Toyoda Gosei Group, Safety and Health Declaration is made and company activities are spread based on the above basic philosophy.
Safety and Health Declaration
- 1. We will comply with all laws and company regulations and standards related to safety and health.
- 2. We will keep in mind that “Safety takes priority over everything else” and ensure that each and every one of us acts in a “safety-first” manner.
- 3. We will engage in initiatives with a sense of ownership, and strive to foster a culture of safety in which all employees participate and are mutually enlightened.
Implementation System
The Central Safety and Health Committee, chaired by the general manager in charge of the Safety & Health Promotion Division and attended by the president, the labor union chairperson, all plant managers in Japan, and the presidents of domestic and overseas subsidiaries, meets four times a year to report and deliberate on various safety and health-related measures, and report the results of these deliberations to the Board of Directors.
In addition to the deliberation results of the Central Safety and Health Committee, safety information is sent out repeatedly in the President’s New Year message and company newsletters. The entire Toyoda Gosei Group carries out these activities. We also regularly share information with our suppliers through procurement liaison meetings and other means.
Targets and Achievements (Global)
We believe it is the Company’s responsibility to ensure that everyone who works on company grounds can return home in the same good health as when they arrived at work. We have implemented various measures to achieve our goal of zero critical,*5 severe,*6 and STOP 7*7 accidents on a global basis aimed at a zero-accident, zero-incident workplace. In FY2023, we achieved the global goal of zero critical accidents, although two severe STOP 7 accidents involving “crushing or entanglement” occurred at overseas subsidiaries.
■Global Target Achievement in FY2023(including contractors and engineering companies)

Specific Efforts
■Safety and Health Management System
Globally, we have introduced and operate labor safety and health management systems to continuously improve labor safety and health standards.
After obtaining OSHMS certification, Toyoda Gosei has been voluntarily operating its own system at all 31 locations in Japan with the addition of internal control items. Of Toyoda Gosei’s 31 overseas locations, 14, or about 45%, have acquired ISO 45001 certification.
- As of December 2024
ISO 45001 certification body | OHSMS certification body | Independently operated companies/plants | |
---|---|---|---|
Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. (11 plants) | ― | ― | 11 |
Subsidiaries in Japan (12 companies) | ― | 4 | 8 |
Subsidiaries in other countries (31 companies) | 14 | 1 | 16 |
■Equipment risk assessments
Risk assessments of equipment are conducted at the time of new installation, modification, and relocation by equipment planning departments, with the purpose of eliminating risk factors in the equipment design and fabrication stages. A safety check is done at the stage before the equipment is used to evaluate compatibility with our own equipment safety criteria to confirm safety.
■Work risk assessments
In manufacturing departments, surveys of workplace risks and hazards are performed and work risk assessments are done to counter them. Reliable implementation of risk reduction measures leads to the prevention of risk.

■Safety and Health Education
Educational curricula are set and various educational programs are provided in line with position in the company and timing of needed training. Because of the coronavirus pandemic and other factors, Web-based education is carried out in addition to conventional in-person education.
Safety Dojos have also been set up and are being operated at all Toyoda Gosei business locations in Japan to prevent past accidents from fading and to teach employees to sense risks. These dojos are being spread globally.

■Domestic and International Subsidiary Audits
We have been using safety and fire prevention maps (SFPM) since FY2020 for the purpose of understanding the safety and fire prevention levels at our domestic and international subsidiaries and rectifying weaknesses.
In FY2023, uniform assessment items were again established based on the results of voluntary assessments at each company. For domestic subsidiaries, on-site physical audits and support are conducted three times a year (13 companies: 39 times in total).
For 44 overseas subsidiaries, the assessment results (activity content) of each company are checked at regular Web meetings. For subsidiaries who are judged to require further improvements, Web-based guidance meetings utilizing videos and various materials (once/month) and audits and guidance are held (3 times) to improve safety levels.
Work Accident Occurrence
In FY2023, two serious STOP 7 accidents occurred. This refers mainly to entanglement accidents in which a worker gets caught in a machine. In both cases, a worker was injured when he put his hand into a machine even though it was still turning. To prevent the recurrence of such accidents, site managers and others regularly patrol manufacturing floors with genchi-genbutsu (go and see) to reinforce workers’ awareness of the danger and terrible outcomes that can occur from putting one’s hands into rotating parts of a machine. When these managers notice problems, they share them with everyone and implement thorough activities for immediate guidance and correction.
Given the rising trend in accidents, we aim to create a corporate culture where people can take ownership and make improvements with a sense of urgency. In FY2024, we have spread safety measures globally that go back and reinforce the basics and are applied to both human and machine/hardware aspects.

Health Management
Basic Philosophy
We conduct health management activities so that all people working in the Toyoda Gosei Group can continue working in both mental and physical health.
Health Declaration
To Achieve “Boundless Creativity and Social Contribution”
- 1. We believe the health of our employees is an important management resource and will strive to foster an organizational culture that puts safety and health first.
- 2. We will strive to create positive and lively workplaces where employees can work energetically, and develop our personnel.
- 3. To help improve the health of employees and their families, we try to raise health awareness for disease prevention.
Promotion System
Toyoda Gosei holds quarterly meetings of its Health and Happiness Promotion Council, a subbranch of the company’s Central Safety and Health Committee.*9 The Council aims not only for good health in work, but also happiness. With the Safety & Health Promotion Division acting as executive office, industrial physicians and the company’s Human Resources Division, health insurance union, and labor union come together to discuss management for health and well-being. These discussions and decisions are also shared with the safety and health committee of each workplace.
- *9 The Headquarters Chief responsible for the Safety & Health Promotion Division serves as chairperson, while the president of Toyoda Gosei, the labor union chairperson, plant managers of all plants in Japan, and the presidents of all subsidiaries in Japan are committee members
Health Management Activities
The ability of each employee to work with energy and health into the future is essential as a foundation to fulfill Toyoda Gosei’s corporate social responsibility as stated in our management philosophy. In recognition of this, we undertake health management to maintain and promote the health of our employees.
A strategy map based on the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Guidelines for Administrative Accounting of Investment in Health and Productivity Management was created for the purpose of quantitatively showing health management initiatives and results and implementing the PDCA cycle for these activities. Going forward, we will promote health management in a continuous and effective manner by quantitatively evaluating investments, effectiveness, and resources.
In Toyoda Gosei’s strategy map, “cultivating and embedding a health culture of mutual development” is set as a management challenge to be solved through health management. Activities are being conducted with the ultimate goals of (1) reducing absenteeism, (2) reducing presenteeism, and (3) increasing engagement.
Since FY2021, reducing presenteeism has been a special priority, and the company has been promoting health creation and education activities.
Health Challenge 8 in Health Management
To raise the implementation rate for the company’s Health Challenge 8,*10 which was established in FY2021 as a health KPI, every department releases its aggregate score results each year to give people an opportunity to check the status in their own workplace.
To promote health activities centered on the workplace, a health advocate system (health improvement rangers) was introduced. These health improvement rangers issue monthly health reports and support health activities in each workplace.
- *10 Health Challenge 8: The eight items of body weight, breakfast, alcohol, snacking, smoking, exercise, sleep, and stress
Raising Health Awareness and Changing Behaviors
We are in the ninth year of our workplace-based health promotion activities, one of the programs to achieve the goals in Health Challenge 8. The number of participants has increased year by year, reaching 94.4% of all employees in FY2023. Members are finding fun and creative ways to promote health and wellness, with activity leaders in a central role. The low exercise implementation rate in the Health Challenge 8 results is an issue that needs to be improved, but more than half of participating teams have adopted an exercise theme, indicating a high level of interest.
The annual health checkup is taken as a “Day to Think About Health” for each employee, and health education activities, such as “Health Message Drawing” and “Grip and Leg Strength Measurements,” are conducted by public health workers and nurses.

Group instruction for specific health guidance (active support) in partnership with the health insurance union.
Since January 2020, we have been checking all employees using even test items that occupational physicians say could be omitted in regular health checkups. The findings are used in the early detection of anomalies and the establishment of healthy lifestyles.
In addition to health guidance by industrial physicians and others for employees with adverse health checkup findings, since FY2022 employees have received age-specific health guidance through interviews with a public health worker every four years, regardless of whether or not any problems are found in health checkups. Opportunities are also provided for all employees to review their own health.
Trends in percentage of people with anomalies/Health Challenge 8 (lifestyle improvement rate)
In health promotion activities up to this time, the obesity rate and the rate of employees with anomalies in blood pressure and blood lipids has decreased and the rise in the rate of employees with blood sugar anomalies has been kept down.
The rate of Challenge 8 implementation, which serves as an indication of lifestyle improvement, has also risen.

Dietary Improvements
In FY2021 we remodeled our company cafeteria with the concept “Eat delicious food and be healthy.” Healthy meals with lots ofvegetables and protein were incorporated in the menu, which was adapted to be both healthy and satisfying in terms of qualityand volume. A system was also introduced that allowed people to check on their smart phones the nutrition and calories in the meal they ate that day for self-management.
Cancer prevention measures
Toyoda Gosei implements cancer prevention measures as a partner company in the Action to Promote Cancer Control.
Through opportunities such as individual consultations, milestone health education, in-house newsletters and the company intranet, we encourage employees to understand the importance of early cancer detection and encourage employees to undergo complete medical checkups and cancer screenings.
The health insurance union helps with expenses for complete medical checkups and cancer screenings (mail-in health checks). As one measure to raise the percentage of employees taking health checkups, we grant special leave for complete medical checkups in milestone years, and create an atmosphere that makes it easy for employees to undergo health checkups.
Initiatives to Maintain and Improve Women’s Health
With the aim of improving the cancer screening rate among female employees, we provide a special menu (pink ribbon lunch), provide information in panels, handouts and digital signage, and educate women on breast cancer and uterine cancer screening. We also distribute leaflets to raise the cancer screening rate among women in their 20s, who have particularly low screening rate, and encourage them to get health checkups.
We also try to support women who are returning to work after childcare leave by providing information on consultation services and self-care information to help them balance childcare and work from a health perspective.
Starting in 2022 we also opened a consultation office for women that is staffed by female medical professionals (doctors, public health workers) to offer health counseling.
Anti-smoking Measures
With the aim of preventing health damage in smokers and passive smoking in non-smokers, we first banned the sales of cigarettes in the company (including vending machines). At the same time, we provided support by public health nurses to help smokers quit smoking. Since 2016 we have held “Smoking cessation talks” with invited outside instructors and held experience-based exhibitions that include measurements of lung age as motivation to quit smoking.
In anticipation of the Revised Health Promotion Act in Japan, which went into full effect in April 2020, we extended a smoking ban on all company property in the country starting in January 2020. At that time, the ban on employee smoking was not limited to company property but was extended to at least 100m from the property boundaries to prevent passive smoking by neighborhood residents. In cases when a nursery school or medical institution was in that zone, we expanded the ban zone to include the area around them.
To protect all people working in the company from passive smoking, we set a company policy with the aim of preventing harmful passive smoking. In addition to steady efforts beforehand to gain employees’ understanding, we made repeated requests to staffing agencies and contractors for their cooperation. Today, one year after the smoking ban on company property, its continuation has had no effect on productivity or employee retention.
The companywide smoking rate has decreased from 42.5% in 2010 to 24.9% in 2023.
■Smoking Rate at Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.

Responding to and Preventing Mental Health Problems
Once each year, we conduct stress checks that will lead to self-care and early detection of problems.
We also offer individual consultations by public health workers and nurses and have opened a consultation office specializing in mental health. Other initiatives include EAP*11 (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare/employee support program) and education for managers and supervisors.
Since FY2020 we have focused on sleep, where the effects of poor mental health tend to appear early, and have tried to “visualize the quality of sleep” using a wearable terminal. By catching warning signs early, we hope to prevent the recurrence of mental health problems.

Percentage of people with high stress | 11.9% | 12.6% | 13.0% |
Prevention of Infections Among Employees
Subsidies for antibody tests for diseases such as measles and rubella were added to the company benefit system in 2020. Partial subsidies are also given for influenza vaccinations, including for family members.
As a measure to counter coronavirus infection, we have provided workplace vaccinations four times so far in the World Headquarters and Morimachi areas at the request of the government.
To counter diseases such as AIDS (including HIV infection), tuberculosis, and malaria that are subject to notification based on the Infectious Diseases Act, our Crisis Management Guide details prevention and initial response methods and we are familiarizing employees with them.
Many Types of Health Education
Since FY2021, we have actively incorporated web-based education and have provided annual mental health education to all management workers. Since 2021 we have modified our educational programs to avoid the 3Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, close-contact settings) and promote mutual communication, such as by reducing the number of people in age-specific group physical health education*12 classes.
- *12 Aspects of physical health including various types of health checkup, prevention of lifestyle-related disease, anti-smoking measures, and various types of health promotion

Spread of health management to domestic subsidiaries and suppliers
Toyoda Gosei conducts activities to promote health management in support of domestic subsidiaries and suppliers.
At a procurement liaison meeting for domestic subsidiaries and suppliers held in June 2024, we introduced Toyoda Gosei’s health management efforts and shared the importance of promoting health management.
We also conducted activities to promote health management for subsidiaries in cooperation with the health insurance union. Ten companies were certified as Outstanding Health & Productivity Management Organization for 2024.
In September 2024 we jointly held experience-based health promotion seminars in September 2024 for suppliers who desired them.
