Policy
Human rights initiatives
Respect for human rights is a foundation of our business activities. Accordingly, we have established a human rights policy for realizing the sustainability of local communities where we conduct business. In order that respect for human rights is thoroughly and consistently put into practice, we are carrying out an aggressive awareness campaign on the variety of issues. This campaign consists of training at the individual level, e-learning, and information-sharing through the company's internal network, in order to deepen understanding toward respecting human rights. We aim to build a sound and dynamic work environment where employees are trained to think of human rights issues on a personal level, to be considerate of others, and to always think about other perspectives before taking any actions.
Employee Job Satisfaction
We aim for employees to be able to enjoy sustainable growth alongside the company. Since we consider people the company's most important asset, we are advancing various human resource initiatives. Specifically, we strive to foster the type of environment in which employees find work to be fulfilling. To achieve this, we must have a fair and equitable human resource management system that nurtures individual development and an environment in which a diverse and multifaceted group of people can play active roles.
Personnel system
We set our Mission, Vision and Values as “MVV” and our personnel systems are designed based on this MVV.
For instance, we encourage our employees to make an effort for developing themselves, and provide training courses, learning opportunities and so on. Our evaluation and salary systems are performance based and it can give a great treatment to employees who create great contributions for the company. In addition, in order to enhance D&I culture, we also provide a various systems like flexible working and remote working.
HR development
Largely dividing the nurturing of employees into cross-organizational training (obtaining skills and knowledge that fits the employee's growth and career steps) and specialized training (obtaining skills and knowledge for executing the respective department's work), each department plans and executes training programs aligned with the department's theme. In terms of educational methods, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. Group provides 1) group training directed at improving the skills and knowledge of attendees; 2) on-the-job training (OJT) support for immediate supervisors who play a key part in nurturing employees; and 3) an environment for self-study (self-enlightenment) where individuals can study under their own conditions.

In order to evaluate each employee's performance properly and to ensure that he or she understands that evaluation, each employee has discussions regularly with a supervisor throughout the year.
As employees consistently demonstrate skilled performance, the company will reward them appropriately.
