Kao Corporation

As we look back on Pride Month 2024, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible efforts of Kao PRIDE, the employee resource group in the Americas region and their enthusiastic engagement and demonstration of acceptance for all. Together, we created memorable moments filled with inspiration, community, and joy, reflecting our collective commitment to our journey toward a more inclusive and equitable future. We encourage everyone to continue to celebrate their PRIDE not only during the month of June but throughout the entire year. Every day is an opportunity to champion diversity, foster inclusion, and spread love. #KaoPride #Pride2024 #InclusionMatters

For us at Kao, the Japanese word Genba has a very special meaning. It describes the “actual spot” or "on-site", the place where we find knowledge, insight and innovation – both externally and internally. We think from the Genba and go to the Genba – whether this is about discovering first-hand what consumers need and how they are using our products or about trusting our local experts with their knowledge and experience. Genba is one of the core principles of our corporate philosophy, The Kao Way, that we apply every day to drive innovation and create solutions that truly meet consumer needs. #CorporatePhilosophy #Heritage #MakingLifeBeautiful

🌈🎉Celebrating Pride: Our Kao teams across the EMEA region celebrated Pride Month with special events, Pride Parade teams and store decorations! ❤️ To kick-off the London Pride weekend, our Kao UK team hosted a Pride event full of fun, curiosity, allyship, celebration, learning and connection. The event was led by our Kao EMEA LGBTQIA+ Community and UK Social Committee and featured an educational and fun workshop about LGBTQIA+ history, rights and culture presented by a special guest Drag Queen from Dragged Around London. Our Salon Team in Italy not only created special Pride decorations for their Salon Academy in Rome, but also organised for the team to participate in the Rome and Milan Pride Parades, with specially designed Pride t-shirts. Special Pride decorations were also put up at our Salon Academy in London and at our Molton Brown stores in London, Manchester and Liverpool, among others, supporting local Pride celebrations. Some great initiatives from our teams concluding Pride Month, with more activities planned for summer across the business! #Pride2024
