② Nikken Group Human Rights Slogan
In Japan, the Ministry of Justice takes the lead in designating December 4 through 10 of each year as “Human Rights Week,” during which human rights awareness campaigns are held nationwide. As part of this initiative—similar to efforts carried out by local governments, companies, and educational institutions—Nikken Sekkei also holds a “Human Rights Slogan Contest.”With the aim of promoting human rights and fostering a healthy workplace environment, this initiative provides employees with opportunities to proactively reflect on human rights issues, deepen their understanding of diversity and inclusion, and ultimately enhance communication and employee engagement.
Every year, we solicit human rights slogans from all Group executives and employees, select outstanding entries from among them, and present awards.
