13. Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)
Unconscious Bias
Workshop
13
The Unconscious Bias Workshop is mandatory
for managers at Mercari. It is designed to help
participants understand unconscious bias
(unconscious prejudice) and develop a habit of
recognizing unconscious bias in daily life, with
the ultimate goal of promoting D&I. (Materials
available for free online)
We entered into a school education
partnership with Kamiyama Marugoto
Technical High School (tentative name), a
private technical high school preparing to open
in April 2023, to promote D&I. Through this
partnership, we will incorporate Mercari’s D&I
expertise into school education.
We run Build@Mercari, a software engineer
training program to support tech industry
minorities such as women, the LGBT+
community, or other people who feel that they
are part of an underrepresented group.
Partnerships with
educational institutions
Build@Mercari
In order to achieve Mercari’s mission and provide a service welcomed by the
diverse societies and cultures all around the world, we must first ensure that
Mercari is an environment that respects and actively incorporates the
opinions and ideas of all of our diverse employees. In January 2021, we
established the D&I Council, a cross-organization internal committee with
CEO Shintaro Yamada as chairperson. In this way, we work to promote D&I
both inside and outside of Mercari Group.
