CARTA HD Triumphs at D&I AWARD 2025

CARTA HOLDINGS (CARTA HD), headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has once again distinguished itself in the landscape of corporate diversity and inclusion (D&I). The company has been awarded the highest recognition, the 'Best Workplace', in the D&I AWARD 2025, marking a remarkable three consecutive years of excellence.

The D&I AWARD, organized by JobRainbow, is a prestigious evaluation system that aims to promote D&I within society, advocating for a world where diversity and inclusion are the norms. The award criteria are based on a comprehensive set of 100 indicators known as the 'Diversity Score', evaluated through five essential dimensions: gender, LGBTQ+, disability, multicultural coexistence, and parenting/caregiving. The evaluation process rigorously assesses corporate contributions to D&I initiatives, and CARTA HD received high marks in both score and content, reaffirming its commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace.

Key Initiatives in D&I at CARTA HD

CARTA HD recognizes the diverse talents within its workforce as pivotal to business growth and competitiveness. The company has integrated D&I into its core management strategy, creating an organizational culture where every individual can unleash their potential while working in a healthy and fulfilling environment.

Online Gynecological Consultations and Support for Medication

As part of its welfare program, CARTA HD offers online consultation services for gynecological health issues, along with support for the use of low-dose oral contraceptives and herbal medicines for menopausal symptoms. This initiative aims to provide women with accessible health options to address specific challenges unique to their experience.

Partnership Benefits for All Employees

CARTA HD’s partnership policy extends beyond traditional definitions of marriage, recognizing same-sex partners and common-law marriages. This inclusivity ensures that employees can enjoy benefits like funeral leave, parental leave, and family care leave, fostering a supportive environment for all members of its diverse workforce.

Enhanced Well-being Leave Policy

In December 2024, CARTA HD will revise its well-being leave policy, allowing employees to accumulate unused paid time off for various personal and family needs. This includes support for infertility treatments, egg freezing, gender-confirming surgeries, and hormone therapies, catering to employees at different life stages and with varying circumstances.

Support for Paternity Leave

The company actively promotes male employees taking paternity leave, establishing dedicated personnel for parental support and creating individual consultation services. With a paternity leave uptake of 82% and an average duration of 27.1 days (based on 2024 data), CARTA HD is committed to creating an environment where work and parenting can coexist harmoniously.
