Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) ONE TEL, DIFFERENT TOGETHER

With the strong support of management, we at TEL actively promote Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) as one of our management pillars that leads to the continuous generation of innovation and increased corporate value. Based on the idea “ONE TEL, DIFFERENT TOGETHER™,” TEL Group companies are implementing various initiatives to strengthen our commitment.

DE&I at Tokyo Electron

This chart represents the four principal themes of DE&I consisting of the 3Gs (Global, Gender, Generation) and Diverse Work Styles.

TEL’s engagement in DE&I consists of four focus areas, including the 3Gs (encompassing Global, Gender, and Generation aspects) and Diverse Work Styles.
We are establishing a work environment where every employee can play active roles regardless of nationality, gender, age, or disability, so they can grow as creative sources of innovation.

Why We Are Promoting DE&I

We state in our corporate philosophy that “we strive to contribute to the development of a dream-inspiring society through our leading-edge technologies and reliable service and support.” Furthermore, we uphold the vision of becoming “a company filled with dreams and vitality that contributes to technological innovation in semiconductors,” and pursue technological innovation in semiconductors that supports the sustainable development of the world.

The TEL Values represent the mindset we aspire to, as well as our codes of conduct and values. Sharing and practicing these values among the employees around the world has been the driving force of our growth.
While our business sites are located around the world, the TEL Group is a single, borderless entity (ONE TEL) united by the TEL Values that define who we are.

DE&I Targets and Focused Initiatives

We have selected the following DE&I targets and focused initiatives, aiming to ensure the employees’ full potential can be demonstrated in an environment where their individual traits and characteristics are duly respected.

Increasing the Percentage of Female Managers

In succession planning, we will focus on establishing a gender diversity-conscious talent pipeline, aiming to increase the percentage of female managers¹ to 8.0% globally and 5.0% in Japan by the fiscal year ending March 2027.

These graphs show the target percentages of female managers at TEL. Our target for Japan is 5.0% by the fiscal year ending March 2027 (FY2027), up from 2.7% in FY2023. Our global target is 8.0% in FY2027, up from 5.7% in FY2023.

Hiring Female Engineers

Since a large majority of TEL employees are engineers, we are hiring an equal or greater percentage of female engineers² compared to what is typical in each geographical region, with the aid of recruiting agencies and aggressive investments in branding initiatives.
