MOL Selected For Inclusion In ‘MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index (WIN)

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) announced that it has been selected as a constituent of the MSCI Japan Empowering Women Index (WIN) (Note 1) created U.S.-based MSCI, Inc. for fiscal year 2023 (Note 2), reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to gender diversity.

Constituent companies in the index are selected based on the employment and promotion of women and other diversity initiatives, from stock price indexes (commonly known as MSCI World Indexes) calculated and published by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), a major U.S. financial services company. WIN is also one of the ESG indices for Japanese equities used by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF).

In April 2023, MOL established “MOL Group Human Capital (HC) Vision,” which states the group’s basic approach to human capital policy, and one of its basic principles is “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.”

MOL will continue to pursue sustainability initiatives to create an environment in which diverse human resources can play active roles, and to further enhance the group’s corporate value and realize a sustainable society.
