Women's representation in the members of the Board of Directors*2

Striving for gender parity among the members of the Board of Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board by FY2030*2.

A well-balanced board — comprising members with varied skills, experiences, and backgrounds — is critical to transparent and sound governance, and high-quality decision-making. In particular, Recruit Holdings sets a specific goal in terms of gender.
Progress in FY2024

Maintaining Women’s Representation Among Board Members at 33%*2, 3
The proportion of women on the Board of Directors rose from 20% in 2021, when we established our target, to 33% as of FY2025. While this represents meaningful progress, we did not meet our three-year target of 36%*2, 3.
Although the election and retirement of directors at the 2025 Annual General Meeting will not affect the gender ratio, we will continue considering candidates based on the skills and backgrounds needed to realize our medium- and long-term strategies.
The Skills Matrix of the Board of Directors*3
Candidates for the Board of Directors members are selected based on consideration of the best structure for the mid- to long-term governance policy and the timing of planned CEO successions. The Skills Matrix is referenced to identify the skills, experience and other qualifications necessary to create the optimal composition of members and enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors.
