MOL, a Japanese shipping company, has achieved a significant milestone by being the first in its industry to receive a 3rd party certification from ClassNK for its human resources-related social data. This certification validates the accuracy and reliability of the data collected by MOL and its group companies between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, showcasing the company’s dedication to transparency and accountability. It underscores MOL’s commitment to ethical business practices and transparency in its human capital investments.
The certification from ClassNK includes various human resources data points such as the percentage of women in permanent and managerial positions, the wage gap between male and female employees, and the rate of male employees taking childcare leave.
