KOSÉ

Diverse individuality is the source of innovation and creates the future.

As we have stated in our corporate message "Creating Beauty in a Sustainable World," it is imperative that all of our business activities connect people, including customers, suppliers, employees of the KOSÉ Group, and business partners.

No person is the same. Each individual is a different person, and a diverse backbone including gender, skin color, social, cultural, and geographical background, living environment, religion, creed, and physical characteristics, forms the individuality of a “person.” That is why we are promoting activities that recognize and respect different personalities. We believe that the combination of wisdom and sensitivities stemming from different personalities will create innovative and entirely new values for “beauty,” and will eventually achieve our group’s unique “adaptability” and “sustainability” for a diverse range of global customers and markets. For KOSÉ that has long been taking up a mission to provide people with dreams and hopes through beauty while embracing a concept of “beauty for each and every one of our customers,” it is a natural extension to take advantage of the strengths of each and every one of us to collaborate to create a society where everyone can play an active role.

Pursuing diversity, equity, and inclusion means exploring the source of innovation. We have set “promoting social opportunities” as one of the material issues in our Medium- to Long-term Vision, and declared in our Sustainability Strategy that “we will take initiatives and raise awareness to enable all employees and members of society to have opportunities to participate in society while exercising their diverse individuality” as our commitment, and identified the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion as an important management issue. We will promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, and aim to create new value for “beauty” by fusing the “beautiful wisdom” in each and every one of us.

Promotion Structure

Since human resources are the cornerstone of management, we value the individuality of each and every employee and continue to empower them and improve the working environment. In order to clarify this stance and promote DE&I as part of our enterprise management strategy, we organized a cross-function committee in 2017 to plan and execute various initiatives to support the activities of diverse employees. In cooperation with the Human Resources Team responsible for human resource development, the committee is promoting company-wide initiatives while presenting regular reports and getting approvals from the top management team.
