Toray Group works to build workplaces in which employees from different backgrounds can coexist with one another while making the most of their respective skills and performing their jobs in an engaged, energetic manner.
As part of its efforts to encourage the participation of individuals over age 60, Toray concluded a labor-management agreement for union members in 2001 and introduced a reemployment system that is open in principle to all employees who wish to continue working. The labor-management agreement concerning this reemployment system was revised in December 2005 to expand coverage to include employees in management and occupational specialist categories.
In November 2006 we finalized plans to progressively increase the maximum age for reemployment and concluded a new labor-management agreement. As a result, the reemployment period will be extended to age 65 by April 2013.
Toray has fulfilled its social obligations of employing disabled persons through achieving the legally required employment ratio of 1.8%. Our efforts to provide a work environment in which disabled individuals find it easy to perform their jobs encompass “hardware” steps such as providing barrier-free spaces as well as “software” aspects such as training at the time of hiring and refinements in the work environment based on suggestions and requests from disabled employees.

Toray promotes the mid-career recruitment of experienced individuals with specialized knowledge and skills and employment of international students who have graduated from Japanese universities and Japanese students who have graduated from overseas universities. Our workplaces provide opportunities for these groups to make the most of their skills and personal qualities.
