JSR Corporation acquired Next Generation Mark certification “Platinum Kurumin” and JSR Micro Kyushu acquired “Kurumin” certification
In August 2007, April 2012, and October 2023, JSR Corporation was certified by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare as a company that provides child-rearing support and received Next Generation Mark certification (nicknamed “Kurumin”). JSR Micro Kyushu Co., Ltd. was certified in May 2017.
Furthermore, in October 2023, JSR Corporation acquired “Platinum Kurumin” certification, a special recognition given to leading companies supporting child-rearing with a higher level of initiatives.
This certification is the result of an evaluation of the status of JSR’s target achievement in the action plan for FY2020 to FY2022 (action plan announced based on the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children) and the content of various measures such as training. The action plan set a numerical target of increasing the percentage of male employees taking childcare leave to 30% or more, and in FY2022 the actual rate reached 81.3%. This figure is much higher than the national average of 17.1% for male employees taking childcare leave in FY2022. In addition, 100% of JSR Corporation’s eligible female employees have taken childcare leave, and as a result of heightened awareness among both men and women of the need to balance work and childcare, taking childcare leave is becoming the norm. In addition to childcare-related initiatives, JSR was also recognized for the wide range of initiatives we have put in place to foster a corporate culture that encourages diverse and flexible work styles and career support, including training for key management personnel and dispatch of employees for external training.
