・Restrooms that are accessible to everyone, regardless of gender, installed on each of the floors of Marunouchi Nijubashi Office

Study sessions, trainings and supporting guides

To enable employees to gain better understanding on LGBT+ inclusion and SOGI (gender identity and sexual orientation), all employees, from the top management, including the CEO, to newly hired members, participate in mandatory training on LGBT+ inclusion.

"Transgender Guide" provides basic information on transgender and transition, as well as what to do in daily/specific cases and situations.

LGBT+ Consultation Team

We have established a consultation team which anyone can consult about various LGBT+ Inclusion-related questions and concerns, providing support for those who wish to come out or transition or newly joining our group.

Ally Network

We have a group-wide Ally network, called “Deloitte Tohmatsu Rainbow (DTR),” composed of LGBT+ members and Ally members. The network members from our offices around Japan are working together, actively engaged in activities aimed towards empowering inclusion that cross borders between regions, organizations, and industries.

Ally goods to raise awareness and spread Allyship

We distribute our originally-designed Ally stickers to visualize allyship, and also sell other rainbow-branded items internally, in collaboration with our members with Diverse Abilities.
