* About the “Declaration on Action by a Group of Male Leaders Who Will Create a Society in Which Women Shine”
Following the meeting of the Council for Supporting Women to Shine held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in March, 2014, the “Declaration on Action by a Group of Male Leaders Who Will Create a Society in Which Women Shine” was formulated in June 2014 by male leaders of companies that are actively working to promote women's participation and advancement.
The Declaration on Action is intended to declare that male leaders at the top of organizations or corporations will be “taking actions and sending messages ourselves,” “disrupting the status quo,” and “developing networking” to motivate various women so that they can make the most of their abilities.
The aim of the Declaration is that male leaders who support the Declaration will make concrete efforts in line with the Declaration and thereby expand the circle of efforts to include socially influential male leaders.
