*1 The figures are based on enrolled employees with employment contract including those seconded from Hitachi Group to other companies and those taking leave, and excluding those seconded from other companies to Hitachi Group (as of March 31).

*2 Manufacturing workers not registered in the employee database and employees of some newly consolidated companies are not included. As of the end of fiscal 2023, these numbers were approximately 23,000 and approximately 8,000, respectively.

*3 The increase in the number and percentage of women managers over time reflects improved coverage of our employee database and changes in the number of consolidated companies. Also, the figure does not include some employees whose grades (job titles) are not registered in the employee database.

*4 The figures are based on the number of employees including those seconded from Hitachi Group to other companies, those taking leave, and those seconded from other companies to Hitachi Group (as of March 31). Figures for fiscal 2021 exclude those seconded from other companies to Hitachi Group.

*5 We apply the same system of compensation and benefits regardless of the employee’s gender. The gender pay gap is resulting from factors including a high proportion of men employees in senior positions including managers and especially in Japan, the proportion of women employees in managerial position is low and a higher proportion of employees working shorter hours being women rather than men.

*6 Calculated in accordance with the laws and regulations of the country where each company is located, basically based on assumed cash compensation including annual basic bonuses, allowances and variable bonuses.

*7 Hitachi Group companies in Japan and the assumptions for these calculation are based on the Act on the Promotion of Women’s Active Engagement in Professional Life.

*8 Companies with 250 or more employees.
