Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Our Workplaces

At Kao, under the theme “recognize the uniqueness of each employee to create a better world” we aim to become an inclusive and equitable organization, where diversity is valued and is seen as our strength.

We are committed to promoting the inclusion of diverse employees, focusing on key areas such as women’s empowerment, employees of the LGBTQ+ communities, employees from different cultures, employees with disabilities, balancing work and childcare, and balancing work and family care. We are also working to raise awareness of psychological safety and unconscious bias in order to create an organizational culture with strong communication and teamwork.

ERGs (Employee Resource Groups) are voluntary, employee-led groups that bring together individuals with shared characteristics or experiences, uniting employees around a common interest or cause.
Our Kao USA ERGs contribute to creating a more inclusive workplace.
