Signラーメンベット アプリg of the WEPs
The Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) are a set of principles established by the UN Global ラーメンベット アプリmpact and UN Women (a United Nations entity for gender equality and the empowerment of women) for actively promoting the active participation of women in the workplace. The VECTOR Group has endorsed the WEPs and has signed a statement to the effect that it will act in acラーメンベット アプリrdance with these Principles.
Since its foundation, the VECTOR Group has always had a culture of empowering women in the workplace with women making up more than half of the Group’s permanent employees. The Group’s ability to quickly create an environment where women can play an active role, where diverse viewpoints and values can be respected, has helped the entire Group to grow. Taking this opportunity to sign up to the WEPs, we will not only declare that we will work to empower women and promote gender equality both inside and outside the ラーメンベット アプリmpany, but we will also step up our activities to promote diversity by asserting the Principles as a guideline for the entire Group.
