In aiming to achieve our mission of “Build brighter futures, everywhere,” it is critical for each and every employee to lead change, and accumulate world-class results by leveraging his or her own strengths. By getting familiar with a wide range of business domains, products, areas, and regions and collaborating with each other, management capital will be tapped to the maximum, which will lead our employees to create, grow and extend businesses by themselves and create new value throughout the world. Referring human resources who strive to raise their level of competition by collaborating with others and enhancing each other with a spirit of “Challenge and Innovation” as capable “individuals,” we are directing our efforts to developing them globally.

For the development of such human resources, while focusing on conducting on-the-job training (OJT) at each workplace, we are also directing our efforts to providing systematic talent development programs to complement such training though off-the-job training (OFF-JT), as well as various systems and bases for global career development with the intentions of our employees as the starting point.

Employees with diverse values and backgrounds work in our group.

Each one respects and acknowledges each other’s differences and embraces different and new ways of thinking, and we are aiming to be a company where everyone can freely maximize their capabilities.

We are also striving to create an environment where employees with diverse backgrounds can always interact with different and new ways of thinking and stimulate each other.

By revitalizing the organization, we bring new value to the business and contribute to the value enhancement of the global group.

Mitsui ＆ Co. is expanding globally with 16 business units at its center, and in order to demonstrate strengths by country and region, we have adopted a business unit system and a global matrix system with business and region as the two axes (refer to the diagram below). We will provide opportunities connected with management strategies to our employees for them to acquire skills and expertise, and stimulate their growth as professional worker who can play an active role globally. We will also provide assignments based on our employees’ career preferences to improve their engagement and performance with the aim of realizing the enhancement of our competitiveness and the sustainable enhancement of corporate value. We are promoting strategic aptitude allocation and autonomous career formation on a global scale.

Since formulating the Mitsui Health Declaration in 2017, Mitsui & Co. has been working on health management, aiming to maintain and promote the health of our employees. After that, in response to changes in health view and working styles, we formulated a new declaration, Mitsui’s Commitment to Employee Well-being, in 2023. We aim to enhance the well-being of each employee and achieve individual growth while also growing as an organization. We will also firmly work on measures based on laws and regulations related to health and safety in the countries and regions where we conduct business activities.

Incidentally, to promote the health maintenance of employees and enhance the well-being of each employee, initiatives related to well-being promotion are reported to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
