ANA Group Receives Gold for LGBTQ+ Inclusion Efforts at PRIDE 2024

For the ninth consecutive year, Japan’s ANA Group has received a gold award in the PRIDE Index 2024 assessment by Work With Pride, a Japanese non-profit organization.

The PRIDE Index aims to help create workplaces in Japan where LGBTQ+ people can work comfortably.

ANA said it has long prioritized promoting a safe and inclusive work environment for all employees and actively supports LGBTQ+ rights through various educational initiatives, including seminars, e-learning courses and discussion groups.

To promote an inclusive workplace and address LGBTQ+ issues, ANA Group has created its Core Policy on Respecting Sexual Diversity (LGBTQ+).

In 2023, the group launched activities that engaged nearly 580 employees as allies to support and advocate for their LGBTQ+ colleagues.

“We strive to champion diversity, inclusion and acceptance every day,” said Junko Yazawa, Group Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, in a statement.
