Human Resources Development
Policies and Basic Approach
At Mitsui & Co., our focus on human resources is in our DNA. One of our greatest missions is to develop our human resources through our business activities. We have identified human resource development as an aspect of our Materiality. It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the key reasons for our existence.
The growth of each employee takes place on-the-job. Our human resource development is based on their commitment to self-realize our MVV (Mission, Vision, and Values), plus the guidance (on-the-job training) they receive from their supervisors and senior colleagues who are striving to support the growth of their irreplaceable team members.
To support and complement this development based on-the-job, our Human Resources and General Affairs Division offers off-the-job training (Off-JT). Most of this training is conducted by Mitsui & Co. HRD Institute, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Human Resources and General Affairs Division, that supports human resource development for Mitsui and its group companies. Off-JT for employees at our overseas subsidiaries and overseas affiliates is organized in concert with our overseas regional business units. Together we strive to reinforce both our policies and training for human resource development at a global group level.

Human Resources Development Programs
To achieve the goal of fostering growth in human resources capable of driving "Transform & Grow" and taking on a central role in global group management, we have been implementing a wide variety of human resources development programs that focus on themes such as business skills and leadership. These programs are available to all employees (including contract employees) from new hires to management. Depending on each employee's career stage and job needs, we offer job position-oriented training, optional programs, and training for selected employees. Additionally, we cover the costs of certain language exams, IT skill certifications, and other training expenses, providing employees with opportunities to enhance their business skills through certification acquisition.

Human Resource Management in the Mitsui & Co. Group
Since its founding, Mitsui & Co. Group has recognized human resources as the source of sustainable value improvement and has focused on and invested in them. Mitsui & Co. Group's human resource management systems are designed to empower diverse employees, and these systems have served as a foundation for handing down Mitsui's vital DNA since its establishment. Based on our human resource strategy, a variety of measures have been implemented to support value creation by Mitsui & Co. Group.
The working environment forms the foundation for Mitsui & Co. Group's human resource management structure. The pillars of the structure are our human resource management philosophy, career development, and diversity & inclusion. The core value that enables this structure to work is "well-being".
This structure will continue to evolve as we work to make it more attractive not only for all current Mitsui & Co. Group employees, including those working for domestic and overseas affiliated companies, but also for those who will join us in the future.
