Tokyo, March 21, 2024-Nomura Holdings, Inc. (Nomura) today announced that it has been named as a "Next Nadeshiko" company by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), for its commitment to helping employees balance their work and family life.

The Nadeshiko Brand program was launched in 2012 by METI and the TSE to recognize listed companies with outstanding initiatives to help women thrive in the workplace, and to showcase these companies to investors who prioritize improvement of corporate value. The Next Nadeshiko initiative was created in 2023, adding to the selection criteria initiatives that support both male and female employees in balancing work and various life events.
