Focus on innovation and continuous business growth
DEI
Project Objectives
Tapping into diverse viewpoints and issues
In 2020, the Dentsu Group announced additional objectives: the use of Open Teaming to achieve Integrated Growth Solutions and Integrated Social Solutions.
To realize the objectives, we are addressing inequalities and fostering mutual respect, regardless of gender, age, nationality, or other differences. All employees shall have fair and reasonable access to information, opportunities, and resources.
Driving the Group to create solutions that benefit society will be the individuality and diverse perspectives of employees, as well as the range of issues they tackle. The Dentsu Group will create work environments in which a range of human resources are comfortable when speaking out.
