Promotion of Women to Officer and Managerial Positions

Tokyo Century established its Action Plan on the Promotion of Women to Officer and Managerial Positions* in October 2014 in order to steadily increase its number of female officers and managers through the active employment, training, and promotion of highly motivated and talented women.

Action Plan on the Promotion of Women to Officer and Managerial Positions

Tokyo Century will work alongside customers in pursuit of their growth as a highly specialized and unique financial services company and further expand its business domains and developing its global business.

As such, we believe it is essential to employ, train and promote a diverse array of talented individuals such as women and foreigners, and for each and every employee to demonstrate their abilities and individuality to the maximum and flourish.

Tokyo Century aims to retain more than 40% of its new hires and 30% of its managers by 2030, and is steadily increasing the number of female executives and managers by actively recruiting motivated and talented women. Further, in order to ensure that every employee can work comfortably through every stage of life, we are continuously working to reform workplace culture, support career and ability development, and enhance and promote the use of systems which aid in balancing work and private life. (As of March 31, 2025, there was three women directors, and 73 women managers [13.7%].)

Promoting Active Participation of Global Human Resources

Tokyo Century’s overseas network has been expanded to more than 30 countries and regions around the world through an alliance strategy in collaboration with local blue-chip companies overseas. Developing global human resources is essential for our continued growth.

Tokyo Century proactively continues to hire non-Japanese employees in Japan with the aim of developing and appointing diverse human resources who thrive around the globe.

In addition, Tokyo Century is working to develop human resources who can play an active role on the global stage in the future by establishing an international course for new graduates and actively promoting the overseas trainee system and overseas assignment for young employees.

And check out a roundtable discussion with employees who have worked in Asian countries in the Tokyo Century News article entitled “Realities of Working as an Expatriate: Four Young Employees Share Their Overseas Experience.”

Promoting Employment of Disabled Persons

Tokyo Century seeks talented individuals from an extensive array of backgrounds and actively employs disabled persons in order to provide a space where highly motivated people can flourish. Tokyo Century also meets the standards for number of disabled people employed as established in the Act on the Promotion of Employment for Disabled Persons (disabled person employment rate as of June 1, 2024: 3.26%[Non-consolidated]).

As an effort to further promote the employment of people with disabilities, in April 2019 Tokyo Century hired staff members (persons with intellectual/mental disabilities) and opened the TC Work Happiness Farm in Funabashi-city in Chiba. We then expanded the farm in February 2021 and June 2023 to promote the employment of people with disabilities.

TC Work Happiness Farm provides a secure and fulfilling working environment for disabled persons in a long term basis. We grow vegetables in a farm house designed with the motto of safety and cleanliness, and donate the harvested vegetables to the Second Harvest Japan, as part of the company’s CSR activities.

Second Harvest Japan (2HJ) was established in March 2002 as Japan’s first food bank. A food bank is a charitable organization that distributes food to those who are in need to avoid hunger. 2HJ redistributes a variety of food donated from food manufacturers, retailers, farmers and individuals that are unexpired and safe for consumption before disposing, to welfare agencies, orphanages, women shelters, people without homes, and others in need. Furthermore, 2HJ performs various relief activities to respond to the needs in the regions hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, and others.
