Toppan aims to evolve as a company that creates value for society. It endeavors to ensure a culture conducive to job satisfaction and advances diversity and inclusion efforts to enable diverse personnel to fulfill their potential. The TOPPAN SDGs STATEMENT published in 2019 presents Toppan’s basic approach to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and includes quantitative targets to eliminate gender disparity in management roles by 2030 as part of strengthened gender equality initiatives.
Toppan’s Diversity & Inclusion Promotion Office leads efforts supporting employees in fulfilling both their work and childcare responsibilities. Programs are designed to ensure a smooth return to work after parental leave, create networks of employees bringing up children, and promote understanding throughout the workplace of how people balance their jobs and families.
