Training refers to employee training, including self-development training, conducted by the Human Resources Department, and e-learning, ISO 14001 environmental standards and CSR training programs provided by other departments. Sections of the e-learning data apply only to October 2018 to March 2019 period due to our transition to a new system during the FY2018. The dramatic rise in the number training participants is a result of our new e-learning program, which offers a variety of online training courses. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the number of trainees decreased because some group training courses (mandatory or optional) were shifted to e-learning courses (optional) and some e-learning courses (optional) were not taken in fiscal year 2020 by employees who took the courses in previous years. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the number of trainees decreased because some group training courses (mandatory and optional) were shifted to e-learning courses (optional). Also, some e-learning courses (optional) were not taken in fiscal year 2020 by employees who already completed the courses in previous years. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the basis for calculating e-learning training was revised, and training courses that included only videos were included in the calculation. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, however, "training courses that only included reading materials" and "training courses that included both video and reading materials," (previously excluded from the calculation), were included in the calculation. They were calculated using the actual median of the participants' training hours. Notation of numbers is rounded off to the first decimal place.

Employees cover Sojitz (non-consolidated) employees, excludes directors, executive officers, Audit & Supervisory Board members and employees who retired as of March 31.
