Deepen corporate culture that respects human rights
We upholds the corporate philosophy "the spirit of human dignity". This means that we have a constant sense of gratitude to all stakeholders, extending to shareholders and business partners as well as customers and employees, as we build relationships of mutual respect. We set respect for the fundamental human rights of all people as the foundation of our actions. By respecting, recognizing, and accepting each other's differences in attributes such as gender, age, ability, marital status, and nationality, we equally promote making the most of the innate abilities of all people and allowing them to do their best.

Introduction of Activities
Promoting Women's Participation
ACOM respects the abilities, ideas, and values of our diverse workforce and creates an environment in which each individual can play an active role. In the fiscal year ended March 2023, female employees–selected via open recruitment to form the Women's Activity Working Group–examined measures for promoting women's participation from their own perspective, and made recommendations to Directors. Action is underway to implement several of the recommended measures in cooperation with the Human Resources Department. In addition, we have established the Woman Career Program, a training program to help female employees recognize the need for autonomous career development and support the challenge of stepping out of their comfort zones.
Providing Career Opportunities to Persons with Disabilities
The percentage of employees with disabilities exceed the statutory rate at ACOM. (2.7% as of March 31, 2025) We are committed to have such employees satisfied and motivated to continue working at ACOM. Therefore, we have contact points available for them should they have concerns and/or difficulties working at ACOM.
Supporting Career Enhancement
We provides diverse career opportunities to support employees' career enhancement. For example, fixed-term employees are able to move up to full-time employees, and those who started their career with limited promotion opportunities can change their work course to broaden their opportunities. We also provides periodical opportunities for employees to assess and submit their desired career development plans in order to support their fulfillments.
Continued Employment of Retirees
Recognizing the increasing diversity of employees' life planning, and to support workers who wish to remain active after passing the mandatory retirement age, we have systems for ongoing employment of employees who wish to remain employed with the company.
Same-Sex Partnership System
The partnership system was introduced in January 2025 to regard same-sex partners and their children as family members and take various leaves and allowances. The workplace environment where employees can use the system with peace of mind has been created by conducting LGBTQ study sessions for all managers with subordinates aimed at providing correct knowledge and promoting understanding.
