*1 The data for Sapporo Holdings, as well as its domestic subsidiaries and affiliated companies that regularly employ 301 or more employees, are aggregated based on the number of employees originally registered with these companies.

*2 The wage disparity between genders is calculated based on the average total amount of salary, allowances, and bonuses shown on withholding tax certificates. While there are differences in wages per person, these are not due to gender discrimination in the wage system or structure. Instead, they are understood to be a result of variations in role grades and the distribution of employment types. Specifically, the wage disparity among regular employees predominantly stems from a higher proportion of men in management roles, which are among the highest paying positions within the Group. Moreover, the wage disparities across all employees are largely due to a higher percentage of part-time, fixed-term female workers at companies like Sapporo Lion, Sapporo Field Marketing, Shinseien, and Hokkaido Sapporo Lion. In response, our ongoing efforts to promote female empowerment aim to correct these disparities by prioritizing women in management roles and by developing a work environment that supports continued employment, thereby moving towards eliminating wage differences between men and women.
