Human Resources Policy

The SMFL's Human Resources Policy is based on the desire "to be of services to society and our customers," and "to make them happy which in turn makes us happy and makes our work more rewarding." This policy defines "What we expect of our employees" and "The value that SMFL provides" for the purpose of realizing growth among all employees–the source of our competitive advantage and most important management capital– supporting the sustainable development of SMFL as a whole.

We expect employees to produce results as a team of professionals who are always mindful of Our Principle and empowered by diversity reinforce and support each other. We also expect each individual to continue taking on challenges. Meanwhile, we cultivate an organizational culture empowered by diversity, and provide employees with opportunities to contribute to society and customers. In this manner, we support employees to achieve their career goals in order to ensure they can realize aspirations and dreams as professionals.

An aspect of our Human Resources Policy is the relationship between employees and SMFL, where each party elevates the other while building close ties by mutual growth. To this end, our employees must be able to sense their own growth, serve society and customers, feel joy in doing so, and maintain and enhance their motivation.

We will continue to set our Human Resources Policy as our fundamental guideline to strengthen business foundation by executing a human resources strategy linked to management strategy, aiming to realize the SMFL Way, create social value and expand economic value.

Human Resources Strategy

Our human resources strategy is built on three pillars based on our Human Resources Policy which is underpinned by the pursuit of deeper DE&I and improved well-being. SMFL is a company that attract a diverse range of talent with backgrounds in different corporate cultures. The organization in which different cultures and value coexist is our inherent strength that allows us to generate innovative value. This is why our human resources strategy is based on the pursuit of deeper DE&I and improved well-being as our management foundation, and relies on the following three aspects as its pillars.

  • ①Allocating personnel flexibly and optimally to achieve management strategies（Organization）
  • ②Establishing a corporate culture that encourages employee-led development（Culture）
  • ③Maximizing employee performance and supporting professional development（Talent）

We will steadily implement various measures based on this human resources strategy so that both employees and SMFL continue to grow. Through these efforts, we aim to achieve our management targets for 2030 and to create new value.
