Title Our employee received the "4th Blue Rose Award for Active Women Leaders".

We are pleased to announce that a female employee of our company (belonging to the Product Development Department, Development Division) has received the "4th Active Female Leader Award (Blue Rose Award)" in fiscal 2025 sponsored by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

This award was established in FY2022 as a successor to the Osaka Sakuyahime Award, which was in place from FY 2016 to FY2020. The purpose of this award is to honor women who are active in corporate activities, etc., by introducing female leaders who can serve as role models in their companies and promoting network building among female leaders.

After returning from childcare leave twice, this employee has worked in the Intellectual Property Department to revise the rules for handling employee inventions and to develop an incentive system, and has contributed to strengthening the competitiveness of the business through the use of intellectual property. In the Product Development Department, to which I currently belong, I led the revision of development specifications and the introduction of a small-start system to create an environment in which anyone can easily take on challenges. Furthermore, in 2025, she will be the first woman to be promoted to a managerial position in the engineering field. By providing young and mid-career employees with more opportunities to take on challenges and receive recognition, she is driving human resource development and organizational revitalization. These ongoing efforts have been highly evaluated and led to this award.

Personal comments:
I feel that this award is not the result of my efforts alone, but rather the support of many people who have helped me in my daily work, and I believe that I received this award together with everyone who has been involved with me. I would be very happy if this award makes you think, "I might be able to do it, too.

We will continue to create an environment where diverse human resources respect and accept each other, and where employees can safely demonstrate their individual abilities to the fullest regardless of life events under fair opportunities to play an active role.
