Capcom promoting female roles to bolster company diversity

Japanese publisher Capcom has said that it is looking to up the number of women in senior management roles.

Capcom is fully recognising the importance of diversity of human resources in recent years while actively utilizing female workers and making evaluations according to performance and not based on gender, age and such,” it told investors.

As part of such efforts, we are promoting executive positions of female employees, and so far we have two female corporate officers and 20 female employees in management positions such as general managers and senior managers.”

The company last week reported an increase in profits on the back of strong sales of titles such as Monster Hunter 4.
