AMT actively promotes Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) throughout the firm to enable each individual with diverse background to fully demonstrate their individuality and play an active role.

As one of our efforts, we implemented our “Pride with AMT” activities below during June 1 to June 30, 2026 to promote understanding and awareness of LGBTQ+.

Promote understanding by holding an internal seminar by inviting an LGBTQ+ individual from outside as speaker
Promote understanding by encouraging the AMT members to take the “D&I Examination”
Strengthen the recognition of AMT as an advocate of LGBTQ+ by posting a rainbow logo on the firm’s SNS.
Conducting enlightening activities by creating and distributing original virtual rainbow-design backgrounds

First, (i) we held an internal seminar to deepen understanding of LGBTQ+ as in the previous year.
At this year’s seminar, we invited Mr. Fumino Sugiyama, Advisor of Tokyo Rainbow Pride, a non-profit organization, who has been engaging in advocacy activities for LGBTQ+ for many years as he himself being a transgender, to speak on “Knowing the Difference, Enjoying the Difference: Transgender and Sports Today.”

To hear the story directly from the individual was a very meaningful opportunity as the participants were able to specifically learn concerning the daily problems, feelings, and perceptions of LGBTQ+ that are difficult to be conveyed through books and media. Many participants of the seminar commented that this seminar gave them an opportunity to reflect on their own behavior and unconscious bias, and to reconsider diversity.

In addition, from this year, (ii) during the “Pride with AMT” period, AMT provided opportunity for all AMT members who wished to take the “D&I Examination,” which is useful to improve basic knowledge of LGBTQ+ and other issues. An AMT member who took this examination commented, “I found that I thought that I understood but I realized that I had to learn more.”

AMT also implemented the following initiative during this period as in the previous year.

(iii) Changed the firm’s SNS logo to a rainbow color to enhance the recognition of the firm’s advocacy of LGBTQ+

(iv) Created and distributed original virtual background designed for the Pride Month to raise awareness inside the firm

Through these efforts, each AMT member was able to benefit from the Pride Month as an opportunity to deepen their understanding of DEI and reconsider diversity.

AMT remains committed, not only through “Pride with AMT,” to create a working environment where the diversity of all AMT members is respected and each member can play an active role with peace of mind.
