女性役員「３０％目標」推進　人材多様化、５３社が賛同―経団連

　経団連は１５日、昨年秋に公表した２０３０年までに企業の女性役員比率を３０％以上に高める目標を推進するための取り組みに、日立製作所やトヨタ自動車など５３社が賛同したと発表した。上場企業の女性役員比率は現在約６％にとどまる。賛同企業を中心に活躍する人材の多様化や組織風土の改革を進め、目標達成に向けた機運を広く醸成していきたい考え。
　東京都内で同日記者会見した経団連の柄沢康喜審議員会副議長（三井住友海上火災保険会長）は、「日本の経済界として国内外に目に見える形で行動していくことが重要だ」と強調した。（2021/03/15-17:27）

The Japan Business Federation, or Keidanren, said Monday that 53 member companies have joined its initiative to have women take up at least 30 pct of executive positions at each company by 2030.
   "The business circle should act (to promote women's participation in corporate management) in a globally tangible way," Yasuyoshi Karasawa, vice chair of Keidanren's board of councillors, told a press conferenc. He also serves as chairman of Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co.
   Currently, women account for only about 6 pct of all executives at exchange-listed companies in the country.
   The 53 firms, including Hitachi Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corp. , are key members of Keidanren, which will call on the rest of its some 1,600 member companies and groups to take part in the initiative.
   Given the fact that many female executives come from outside, Keidanren will support member firms in employment of women and personnel development.
