Overall Disclosure Profile
Zojirushi Corporation seeks to strengthen personnel and organizations supporting brand innovation. The filing presents a policy of providing varied work experience for early-career employees, establishing a specialist system, using job rotation and personnel data, and revising its evaluation system. In research and development, its production development headquarters and affiliates collaborate on improvements to rice cookers and mugs, centered on heat retention, cooling, heating, and insulation expertise.
Engagement for the fiscal year ended November 2025 is disclosed as having improved from the previous period, but no score or links to specific initiatives are provided. Although efficiency gains from migrating internal systems to the cloud are described, measured outcomes such as hours saved are limited. The male childcare-leave uptake rate appears as both 104.5% and 105%, without an identifiable explanation of rounding within the disclosure.

Assessment Scope & Disclaimer
This assessment is based solely on information disclosed in the company's Japanese-language Annual Securities Report filed through EDINET.
It does not assess the human capital initiatives a company actually implements or the company's human capital capabilities themselves.
Items for which no disclosure was identified in the Annual Securities Report receive no points, regardless of whether the company actually implements the relevant initiatives.
This English-language assessment is a translation of the original Japanese assessment and is provided for convenience. In the event of any discrepancy, the Japanese assessment prevails.
