Understanding the D&I AWARD 2025

The D&I AWARD evaluates companies based on a unique scoring system called the 'Diversity Score,' which measures their efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion. The 'Advance' status is awarded to those companies like CAC that not only implement progressive D&I strategies but also foster an environment where all employees respect diversity. It highlights their role as a model in advancing D&I initiatives in Japan.
