Overall Disclosure Profile
ITOCHU Corporation develops business professionals through both workplace experience and training, combining outcome-based evaluation and remuneration, self-directed career choices, and health and working-style support. Human capital development investment for FY2025 is JPY 2,700,000,000, and aggregate training attendance was 53,811, including repeat participation. For internal audit personnel, the filing discloses an aggregate count of approximately 50 certified internal auditors and other qualification holders, including repeat counts. Their expertise is applied to audits, evaluations, and improvement recommendations.
In textiles, it associates generative AI-driven reductions in working time and improvements in planning, customer service, and inventory management with a 1.9% year-on-year ROA improvement at 7 retail operating companies. This comparative result corresponds to multiple initiatives, and the contribution of AI alone is unclear. In addition, "1.9%" is not described as an improvement of "1.9 percentage points." The formula and base year for labor productivity are also disclosed. However, the metric divides consolidated net profit by the parent-only employee count, differing from profit per employee across the entire group.
Scores by Assessment Item

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.
