Altius Link Achieves Gold at PRIDE Index for Six Straight Years

Altius Link, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has been awarded the highest rank of Gold for the sixth consecutive year in the PRIDE Index 2025, a measurement tool for sexual minorities in the workplace created by the non-profit organization, Work with Pride. This award recognizes the company's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives aimed at promoting a respectful workplace for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Altius Link's Commitment to DE&I

Altius Link operates under the purpose: "Strengthening connections to make them more beautiful and interesting". The company fosters a culture that values each individual's uniqueness, enabling its workforce of approximately 56,000 employees to thrive in a safe and comfortable environment, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.

To exemplify its dedication to human rights, Altius Link has published a code of conduct that respects individuals and prohibits any form of discrimination that could undermine personal dignity. Among its significant initiatives, the company has established a “Partnership Recognition System” that identifies same-sex partners as “spouses”, allowing equal access to various allowances and leave systems. Additionally, the “Family Recognition System” acknowledges children of same-sex partnerships, granting them equal benefits and leave entitlements under company policy, despite legal constraints regarding parental rights.

Altius Link also implements e-learning sessions aimed at fostering ally understanding among employees. They utilize a rainbow logo displayed prominently on PCs and other visible areas as ally stickers, strengthening the corporate culture of mutual respect for individuality.

Continuing Commitment to Diversity

Looking ahead, Altius Link remains dedicated to fostering an environment where differences are acknowledged and respected, helping each employee to thrive. The company recognizes diversity as a vital source of value creation and is committed to sustainable growth through their initiatives. They have set specific evaluation criteria across five areas: Policy, Representation, Inspiration, Development, and Engagement/Empowerment in their efforts to promote LGBTQ+ understanding and rights.
