Diversity and Inclusion
At Daiwa House Group, human resources are the greatest assets.
To grow into a corporate group that can contribute to the world going forward, we need to respond flexibly to diverse values and to society as it constantly changes, and create new value capable of discovering potential markets. To do that, we need to foster a workplace culture that makes the most of perspectives and ideas that utilize employees’ diverse values, genders, generations, ethnicities, languages, cultures, lifestyles, abilities and disabilities, etc., and create an organization that can continuously generate concepts unfettered by conventional thinking and preconceived ideas.
At Daiwa House, as a touchstone of the promotion of diversity, we are actively working on one aspect of diversity, the workplace participation of female employees. In 2005, we established the Women’s Participation Promotion Project and, in 2007, founded the Wave Heart Promotion Section as a dedicated organization. In April 2015, the latter’s name was changed to the Diversity Promotion Section, and from October 2021 it became part of the Human Resources and Organizational Development Department.
In our 7th Medium-Term Management Plan, also, we will work diligently to create a workplace in which diverse employees, including women, older workers, LGBT, etc., can thrive even more.

Aiming to promote diversity, from fiscal 2019, the Office Diversity Score was included as a category in the evaluation of sound management at offices and plants.
