Employees

In order to accurately grasp the ideal form of the Group that society expects, such as when the Group is facing various management issues or revising its policies in pursuit of sustainable growth, we aim to reflect the voices of society in our strategies through stakeholder engagement and to co-create value with society through our business.

The Kirin Group Award: The embodiment of the Group Philosophy, Values, and CSV

The Kirin Group Award, which awards initiatives that embody the Kirin Group’s Philosophy, Values, and CSV, is a platform for honoring opportunities of co-creation with specialized and diverse human capital across businesses. To foster a greater sense of Group unity in 2023, we improved this event, such as by revamping the content to place more focus on the employees, and will continue to improve it going forward.
