We are pleased to announce that we attended the certification ceremony at the Ibaraki Prefectural Office on February 27, 2026, and received the certificate. Furthermore, our measures that balance "fair personnel evaluation" and "individual consideration for culture" were highly praised and featured as a representative case study for the IT industry on the Ibaraki Foreign Human Resources Support Center's website.

Background of Certification: A System and Structure Embodying Our Corporate Philosophy Our corporate philosophy is "to contribute to customers and society through ceaseless technological innovation and creativity, and to develop as a company where all employees can work with prosperity and purpose." The "all employees" in this philosophy naturally includes people of all nationalities. We are promoting an environment where all employees can maximize their professional abilities and work with a sense of purpose. Currently, we have 10 foreign employees from Indonesia, China, and South Korea, who work and grow alongside their Japanese colleagues, fostering a corporate culture where diverse values coexist. Our Initiatives for Diverse Talent to Work Together Our efforts were recently featured on the Ibaraki Foreign Human Resources Support Center's website under the title "'Fair System' and 'Individual Consideration' Supporting the Retention of Foreign Talent." The following points were highlighted as mechanisms supporting employee retention: 1. A "Fair System" Common to All Employees Instead of treating foreign talent as a "special workforce," we apply a common and fair personnel system to all employees. We have established transparent personnel evaluations through 1-on-1 meetings using cloud tools and a qualification acquisition incentive system combining a lump-sum payment for passing and monthly allowances. By regularly defining career paths tailored to individual circumstances and aspirations and reaching an agreement with supervisors, we create an environment where everyone can envision a long-term career. 2. "Individual Consideration" That Accommodates Each Person's Religion and Culture To ensure that Muslim employees can work with peace of mind while cherishing their faith, we provide prayer spaces during working hours and arrange for halal-compliant meals at company events. When selecting housing upon joining the company, we prioritize the employee's convenience (access to mosques and halal food stores), thoroughly providing soft support tailored to each individual's background.

Future Outlook: From the Region to the Nation, Turning Diversity into Strength Udom is currently accelerating its business development with the high goal of achieving 10 billion yen in group sales. Supporting this growth is the power of "individuals" with diverse values. We will continue to build an organization where personnel from diverse backgrounds can leverage their individuality and challenge themselves towards a common goal.
