<p>At Toray, we believe that people are what make an enterprise rise or fall, and it is people who open a path to a company's future. Under our management policy that prioritizes people, the three principles which steer our human resources development are as follows.</p> <div class="bPattern02 mgnT30 fontB"> <ul class="discList"> <li>Fair-minded individuals who act with high ethical standards and a sense of responsibility</li> <li>Professionals with advanced expertise, technical skills and originality in problem solving</li> <li>Leaders who act with foresight and a sense of balance</li> </ul> </div> <p>To produce professional human resources armed with the most advanced, specialist knowledge, who are able to participate on the global stage, we use various human resource systems to promote an energetic corporate atmosphere in which bold personnel are encouraged to play an active role.</p> <figure class="bl_imgWrap -slim"><img class="lazyload" data-src="images/policy_01.jpg" alt="we use various human resource systems to promote an energetic corporate atmosphere in which bold personnel are encouraged to play an active role." /></figure> <h2 class="bl_headingLv2">Curiosity-driven Research</h2> <p>For the generation of new projects, Toray encourages employees to spend 10-20% of their work in research with their own motive and discretion at the initial stage (fuzzy front end) of new product research.</p> <h2 class="bl_headingLv2">Study Abroad Program</h2> <p>Toray has established study abroad programs for our researchers to gain state-of-the-art specialized knowledge and to develop into international businesspeople. Of those, one program dispatches researchers to world-class universities or research institutes across the globe to gain the most advanced knowledge and techniques in each field, or to conduct joint-research. Since 1983, 101 researchers (as of April 2021) have been dispatched under the system, which allows researchers to choose their own destinations and research topics.</p> <h3
