Declaration of Business Support for LGBT Equality in Japan
In May 2021, SEGA SAMMY Holdings endorsed the Declaration of Business Support for LGBT Equality in Japan, which calls for the introduction of LGBT＋ equality legislation* in Japan with the aim of prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and creating inclusive social and working environments in which all people will be treated equally. As a corporate supporter of the Declaration, we will provide active cooperation, including sponsorship of related events. In addition, we intend to maintain and expand our initiatives to promote greater understanding of LGBT+ issues among Group employees.
The Declaration of Business Support for LGBT Equality in Japan arose from Equality Act Japan, an international petition campaign launched prior to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games to call for the introduction of LGBT＋ equality legislation in Japan. This campaign was started as a collaborative project between the Japan Alliance for LGBT＋ Legislation, which is a federation of various LGBT＋-related organizations in Japan, Human Rights Watch, one of the world’s largest international human rights NGOs, and Athlete Ally, which engages in activities relating to sport and LGBT＋ issues. The Japan Alliance for LGBT＋ Legislation has been the main organizing body for these efforts since December 2021 .
