About JR East Group's Initiatives for DEI Promotion

Under the Group Management Vision "Yusho 2034", the JR East Group prioritizes "ultimate safety" as its top management priority and promotes a dual-axis management of mobility and lifestyle solutions, based on the "trust" of all stakeholders. To achieve this, the Group will strategically promote DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) as a unified entity and accelerate initiatives to maximize the potential of its employees. We have now formulated the "JR East Group DEI Policy" as the basic policy for promoting DEI within our Group. This is the first time our Group has established a 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 Advancement in the Workplace and the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children. By continuing our DEI promotion initiatives in this new stage, we will further support the challenges of each diverse employee working within our Group, and enhance corporate value by delivering peace of mind and inspiration to all stakeholders. 1. Formulation of the JR East Group DEI Policy To promote DEI initiatives as a unified group, we have decided to formulate the "JR East Group DEI Policy" as the fundamental philosophy regarding DEI within our Group. We aim to create a corporate culture where everyone working in the Group understands this policy, respects each other, and embraces challenges through active communication within a healthy corporate environment.
