JR East Group's Initiatives for Promoting DEI

○ Under the group management vision "Move Up 2034," the JR East Group prioritizes "Ultimate Safety" as its top management priority. Based on the "trust" of our stakeholders, we are promoting a dual-axis management strategy of mobility and life solutions. To achieve this, we are accelerating efforts to strategically promote DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) as a unified group to maximize the potential of our employees.

○ We have established the "JR East Group DEI Policy" as the fundamental guideline for promoting DEI within our group. This is the first time our group has announced a formal policy regarding DEI promotion.

○ Furthermore, we have formulated a new general employer action plan based on the Act on Promotion of Women's Participation and Career Advancement in the Workplace and the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children.

○ By continuing our DEI initiatives in this new stage, we will further support the challenges taken on by each of our diverse employees and enhance our corporate value by delivering peace of mind and inspiration to our stakeholders.

1. Establishment of the JR East Group DEI Policy

To promote DEI initiatives as a unified group, we have established the "JR East Group DEI Policy" as our fundamental approach to DEI. We aim to create a corporate culture where everyone working in the group understands this policy, communicates actively within a healthy corporate climate, and respects and challenges one another.
