March 8 is International Women's Day, a global occasion to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women around the world.

This year's theme, "Give To Gain," reminds us that we find shared success when we support one another and come together to advance gender equality.

The Sony Group's long-term "Creative Entertainment Vision" defines where we want to be in 10 years, and how we aim to continue delivering Kando through creativity and technology. Our key to realize this vision is drawing on one of our great strengths: the diversity of our businesses and people.

The contribution and success of our diverse and talented employees drives innovation and leads to further enhancing our corporate value. Expanding opportunities for women to contribute and thrive brings new perspectives and capabilities that strengthen our organization. By fostering an environment where everyone can exchange ideas with confidence and take on challenges in their own way, we enable greater growth for all.

By collaborating beyond boundaries, supporting one another, and staying connected, we can maximize our combined strengths across the Sony Group and leverage our full potential, creating a brighter future inspired by what we can achieve together.
