Social issues to be addressed

Now we live in the world where diversity is turned into strengths. In corporate management, to create a work environment suitable for diverse human resources and diverse work styles, as well as to develop every individual’s career and skills will be the key to strengthening competitiveness. In society, respecting different cultures and values and working together across differences in nationality, gender and religion will lead us to solutions to issues and further development.

Vision

Respecting human rights and diversity, the entire Seven Bank Group will strive to be a group of companies that help everyone to have a sense of purpose in life and satisfaction in work. We will expand our drive to also involve our business partners and partner companies to achieve a society where diversity can thrive.

Promote employees’ autonomous growth and voluntary career development

We support individual employees’ autonomous growth and provide arenas for their success to contribute to society through our business

We support individual employees’ growth and provide arenas for their success, toward achieving the “future of everyday life” set forth in our Purpose. We aim for all employees to utilize their innovative mindsets to contribute to society through our businesses. We have also defined the "independent human resources" that we seek, and actively provide opportunities for our people to acquire the necessary skills, mindset, and knowledge.

Improve employees’ well-being and engagement

Aiming to Create a Comfortable Workplace, Tailored to the Life Stage and Circumstances of Each Employee

The Seven Bank Group is creating a comfortable workplace for every employee by expanding systems to support diverse work styles, such as childcare leave and nursing care leave.
The Customer Center has received the Well-being Customer Center Award for two consecutive years (as of 2025).
Furthermore, we are focusing on invigorating internal communications by holding the Purpose Award once a year to recognize initiatives that embody our Purpose, and by holding Office Open Day every summer during the holiday period, inviting employees' families to the company.
