【Note on wage differences between men and women】

  • a) There are no gender differences in the wage system.
  • b) As for "regular employees", there are differences in wages due to the large number of male workers in managerial positions at the section manager level and above. The Group is currently promoting the appointment of female workers to managerial positions.
  • c) The wage difference for "part-time and fixed-term workers" is due to the fact that they account for about 70% of the female workforce and about 40% of them are employees working within the scope of their dependents.

※1Subject is SG Holding Co., Ltd.

※2The calculation method is based on the percentage of workers who took maternity leave out of the number of births (in the case of men, the number of births by their spouses).

※3Percentage of those who returned to work during or at the end of the year among those who were scheduled to complete their leave during the year (aggregation is for women only).

※4The method of calculation has been changed since FY2022, and figures for FY2021 and prior have also been revised.
