Metawater Co., Ltd. (President: Kenji Yamaguchi, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) held an internal event to coincide with International Women's Day on March 8, 2026, in support of the day's principles.

This is the third consecutive year the company has held an event supporting International Women's Day, a tradition started in 2024. For this year's event, a special website was launched under the main theme, "Diverse Perspectives Open Up the Future." The company internally published interviews with three female employees active on the front lines from different backgrounds, including mid-career hires and new graduates. In the interviews, they shared messages about overcoming challenges, tips for balancing work with childcare and private life, and their spirit of inquiry as engineers.

Additionally, this year, original awareness posters featuring the faces and words of the interviewed employees were created for the occasion. These posters were displayed at the entrances of major offices and business sites—including the Manseibashi headquarters, Hino, Nagoya, and Tohoku—and were complemented by decorations of yellow flowers, the symbolic color of the day, to raise internal awareness of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I)*.

International Women's Day is recognized as a day to celebrate the achievements of women and reinforce the desire for a world free of discrimination. Through this event, our group hopes to create an opportunity for each employee to eliminate gender-based discrimination, embrace diverse values and possibilities, and create a bright future.

In its "Basic Policy on Sustainability," our group identifies "Human Capital" as a key issue (materiality). We will continue to foster a workplace where employees with diverse personalities can thrive, actively engage in DE&I and work-style reforms, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable environment and society.

*An acronym for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, a concept that aims to create an organization where employees with diverse individualities can flourish.
