JTB Group
champions DEIB.(Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging)


At JTB Group,
we have been pioneering Ways for a New Era
by bringing people, places,
and possibilities together.
To pioneer the New Era,
we firmly believe that
it is essential to embrace diversity
from external aspects such as age,
gender, and race,
to internal aspects such as religion,
education, and lifestyle,
with no prejudice and discrimination.
While we are committed to embracing diversity,
the challenge still remains.
Unknowingly,
we have often relied on high-context communication
where one's age or career influences
the weight of their words.
Recognizing this challenge,
we feel a strong need to evolve.
By celebrating all forms of individuality,
we will build a world where diversity is the norm.
And by making the best of diverse individuality,
we will propel ourselves towards our new values.
We champion DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging).
We honor the experience and perspectives of every member.
Together,
we create an environment where individuals can thrive.
As a team, we challenge and empower each other
and we continue to pioneer the New Era.

Gender Pay Gap
- All Employees
- 60.4%
- Full-time Employees
- 63.8%
- Part-time Employees
- 46.7%
Wages are determined based on the same criteria regardless of gender. While the wage gap has been narrowing since last fiscal year, differences persist due to approximately 90% of female employees making some form of work-style choice (※) and the lower proportion of female managers (37%) compared to the female employee ratio (60%).
While maintaining diverse work arrangements that accommodate changing lifestyles, we will foster an environment where women can thrive and work long-term. For fiscal year 2024, we aim to increase the proportion of female managers to 40% and advance initiatives supporting career independence that enables multifaceted contributions.
Regarding non-regular employees, wage disparities exist due to wage improvements for senior employees (predominantly male) and the establishment of a temporary allowance system.
(*) Diversity in work styles: Employees can choose their work style by utilizing company systems that allow them to select their work location and scope of duties based on their personal values and living circumstances.
*Published figures are JTB Corporation's FY2024 results.

- Male

We aim to be a company where every individual can feel a sense of purpose and ease in their work, enabling them to thrive long-term. This involves not only establishing systems that allow women to confidently embrace childbirth as a life event, but also creating an environment where both men and women can take leave immediately after a child's birth and actively engage in childcare and household duties. Furthermore, we are working to deepen understanding and promote utilization of childcare leave-related systems. This includes introducing various initiatives for gender equality within the JTB Group's DEIB promotion efforts and sharing examples of how various systems related to childcare leave are being utilized through internal communication.
