First Silver Sponsor of Tokyo Rainbow Pride 2024


EBARA Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as EBARA) was the first silver sponsor of Tokyo Rainbow Pride 2024 (held from Friday, April 19 to Sunday, 2024), one of the largest LGBTQ+ events in Asia. We are also planning to participate in the pride parade that will be held on Sunday, April 21.


1. Background


We have set "Promoting the Active Participation of Human Resources" as one of the key issues of our long-term vision "E-Vision2030" and aim to be a corporate group that allows diverse employees to feel a sense of job satisfaction and ease of working by building a corporate culture that emphasizes DE&I(Diversity, Equity & amp; Inclusion: diversity, fairness and inclusiveness). The Tokyo Rainbow Pride, a specified nonprofit corporation, is premised on a variety of ways of being diverse, and Happy allows everyone to live "in life, comfort, and comfort"! This organization aims to realize a society. By supporting that goal, we believe it will be an opportunity to further strengthen our approach to DE&I and to emphasize the importance of equity and inclusiveness in society as a whole, and we have reached our first sponsorship.


2. Tokyo Rainbow Pride Overview


Tokyo Rainbow Pride is an event that celebrates "sex" and "live" diversity with LGBTQ+ parties and their supporters (All). Pride parade and pride festival are held every year in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo.

3. Future development


EBARA will hold a workshop to promote understanding of LGBTQ+ within the company during the Pride Month of last June and formulate a rainbow logo.We have focused on creating a comfortable work environment for all employees. In addition, we agreed with Business for Marriage Equality, which promotes the equality of marriage in Japan (legislation for homosexual marriage).

In order to continue respecting diversity and providing support, we will expand the range of employees eligible for these seminars, expand the scope of our in-house system, and improve the environment, including the installation of barrier-free toilets. We aim to make a sustainable contribution to society by accepting not only the LGBTQ+ community, but also the diversity of each and every employee in an inclusive manner, and transforming that diversity into a force. The EBARA Group will tackle material ESG issues based on its long-term vision and medium-term management plan. We will strive to further improve our corporate value with the aim of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
