This page outlines Sumitomo Forestry Group's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a key driver of business development. The company promotes an inclusive workplace environment supporting diverse employees including women, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals, and rehired retirees. The Human Resources Department's "Work Style Support Office" leads DEI initiatives while the ESG Promotion Committee oversees progress. In 2024, the group issued a DEI Declaration and launched awareness campaigns including posters and educational materials. In November, a participatory DEI Forum was held with 40 employees from nine group companies, featuring discussions, networking, and unconscious bias training to encourage individual action on DEI principles.
