Nissan has received its eighth consecutive gold award in Japan from the Work With Pride organisation for being an LGBTQ+-friendly workplace.
Work With Pride cited Nissan’s active involvement in addressing the needs and concerns of LGBTQ+ people through various internal and external activities in Japan.
Work With Pride promotes LGBTQ+-friendly human resource management practices and rates Japanese companies using its Pride Index.
The index evaluates corporate policies for LGBTQ+ representation, awareness-raising, human resource systems and programmes, community work, and public relations.
Nissan has expanded its initiatives in Japan to create a workplace that is comfortable for everyone.
Nissan regularly provides e-learning, seminars and other educational activities for all employees to raise awareness and promote understanding of LGBTQ+ issues.
Nissan’s external initiatives include sponsoring and participating in Tokyo Rainbow Pride – the largest event of its kind in Japan – since 2019.
Truly sustainable
In 2023, employee resource group members participated in the parade for the first time. These ongoing internal and external initiatives have led to receiving the gold rating.
Globally, Nissan is striving to create a workplace that supports diversity, equity and inclusion. It aims to be a truly sustainable company that helps create a cleaner, safer and more inclusive society.
