To build a foundation for embracing and leveraging change and diversity, Murata promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion (D,E&I). To foster D,E&I climate by employee-driven initiatives, we established the Murata Diversity & Inclusion Plaza (M-DIP) as part of our efforts to promote D,E&I, and we are continuously working on cross-organizational and cross-site activities. Starting from Murata Manufacturing in 2016, the group composed of switching volunteer members has now been active for seven terms, and a total of 148 individuals have contributed over that time. Since the 7th term, the group has welcomed participation from affiliates in Japan, expanding the scope of activities with more diverse knowledge, abilities, and perspectives. With the owner as the human resources officer, the activities are reflected in its operations through dialogue with the management.
As one of our core management issues, Murata aims to “achieve innovation, leveraging diversity.” To this end, we promote activities under the M-DIP mission of “creating more workplaces where people can bounce different views and ideas off each other and accept one another.”
Murata’s strength comes from over 20 volunteer members who gather every year.
