Fostering a DEI-driven culture

Creating an equitable and inclusive environment

Our global workforce comprises more than 100 nationalities, and we provide many opportunities to deepen the understanding of our differences. Nissan hosts a variety of open forums where voices are heard and acknowledged and aim to further cultivate an inclusive culture by creating spaces where our employees can feel confident and communicate openly.

Listening to individual voices

We are committed to constructing an environment where every team member feels included, respected and valued — a place where everyone has opportunities for professional and personal growth.

Broadening our understanding

Equity means respecting individual needs and circumstances, and providing resources and opportunities necessary. To further understanding, we are introducing training programs that focus on DEI-related considerations, including:

Unconscious bias training
Gender diversity training
LGBTQ+ training
Working parents and families training

Communicating openly

Nissan believes in open communication regardless of position or seniority in the company. We value initiatives that bring our people together, making sure everyone has the opportunity to exchange ideas, celebrate differences and employ unique perspectives. Open communication initiatives include:

Town hall meetings and fireside chats
Talk sessions with leadership
Workshops and discussion forums
Internal seminars, intranet and e-newsletters

Demonstrating and practicing inclusive leadership

An inclusive corporate culture requires consistent and inspirational leadership. We invest in honing the skills of leaders so they can successfully manage diverse teams and create a work environment where people feel motivated and empowered. The training programs cover a comprehensive range of initiatives including:

Executive leadership workshops
Diversity management training

Championing our DEI efforts

While DEI principles hold true at a global level, approaches may vary around the world. It is essential that we localize initiatives and materials to reflect themes that are unique to regions. As part of the company’s cultural transformation efforts, Nissan has created a DEI champion team that collaborates with business groups such as Human Resources, Communications, Global and Regional DEI councils, to enhance our existing DEI initiatives and drive further actions.
