Capcom Promotes Female Employees to Increase Diversity Within Ranks

Capcom has pledged to increase its internal diversity by promoting its female employees within its ranks into executive roles to further increase gender equality.

Details about the publisher’s decision to do so come from Capcom’s own financial report, which reads as follows:

“Capcom is fully recognising the importance of diversity of human resources in recent years while actively utilizing female workers and making evaluations according to performance and not based on gender, age and such.

“As part of such efforts, we are promoting executive positions of female employees, and so far we have two female corporate officers and 20 female employees in management positions such as general managers and senior managers.”

It is not known what spurred the company to make this decision, although we’re not going to question an undoubtedly good move from the company.
