DEI
Promotional aims
Innovation and continuous business growth
In 2020, dentsu announced that its goal henceforth would be to design Integrated Growth Solutions and Integrated Social Solutions through Open Teaming.
To achieve this, we are using fairness and reasonable consideration to address inequalities in the provision of information, opportunities, and resources available to all employees. In this way, we will create a work environment where all employees, regardless of gender, age, nationality, or any other attributes, can respect each other and speak up with confidence.
The integrated solutions will allow us to demonstrate our individuality and, at the same time, accept diverse viewpoints and issues in the Group. As a result, we will create better solutions for society.
