Basic Philosophy of HR/Employment Situation

We are committed to creating an organization where everyone works autonomously as a professional and continues to create new value for our customers and stakeholders.

Basic Philosophy of Human Resources

We are committed to creating an organization where everyone works autonomously as a professional and continues to create new value on the basis of the "Yatte Minahare—Go for it!" spirit. The Suntory Group is committed to the development of both our employees and the company, recruiting widely for employees with entrepreneurial spirit who want to broaden their own potential and providing them with opportunities to make maximum use of their capabilities. To achieve this, our fundamental approach to human resources is:

  • • hiring on the basis of the individual without regard to nationality, gender, age, disability, or other factors,
  • • assigning the right person to the right job in order to get the most out of each individual's capabilities,
  • • offering compensation based on performance, in accordance with each employee's role and results.

A Committee to Promote Human Rights

The Suntory Group has banned all forms of discrimination and abuse under its corporate behavior standards. We have created the Committee to Promote Human Rights Education, whose goal is to promote respect for human rights and eliminate all forms of discrimination, including those based on nationality, gender, age, and disability. Suntory has also created human rights education and awareness programs at all levels and is continually engaged in consciousness-raising efforts throughout the company so that all employees will have a proper awareness of human rights.
