SMFL is a company with a diverse group of people from different corporate cultures. We value not only the diversity of external attributes such as age, gender, race, and nationality, but also the diversity of internal values held by each employee. We believe that respecting each and every employee who has a variety of values and experiences and creating an environment in which they can make the most of their abilities will lead to improvements in job satisfaction.

Enriching the "work" and "life" of each and every employee is the driving force behind the realization of Our Mission ("Looking beyond the present, we are committed to contributing broadly to the sustainable growth of our customers and society by providing high value-added services.") and the power to create new added value. The entire company will work to further promote diversity and inclusion.
