Enhancing the employee stock ownership plan to engage all employees in company management and strengthen human capital
As companies are expected to strengthen their human capital in recent years, Azbil has introduced the Japanese Employee Stock Ownership Plan - Restricted Stock (J-ESOP-RS) and the Trust-Type Employee Shareholding Incentive Plan (E-Ship®). This has helped advance initiatives to increase the enterprise value driven by both employees and the company. As the company aims to engage all employees in corporate management, Koichi Sakai (ESG Fellow, Nikkei BP Intelligence Group), who is an expert on enterprise value enhancement measures and has networked extensively with many corporate executives, and Takayuki Yokota (Director, Representative Corporate Executive Deputy President, Azbil Corporation) exchanged opinions about this topic.
