MUFG Bank, Ltd. Program | Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
DEI Strategies | Global Brands & Corporate Culture
With the generous sponsorship of MUFG, the JAPAN HOUSE LA Foundation is hosting an ongoing series of programs exploring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) through various perspectives, from entertainment to sports, governance to culinary traditions.
This July, we welcomed top business and civic leaders to share their insights on how DEI initiatives are strengthening corporate culture and transforming global brands. From inclusive talent-search programs to nuanced communication strategies, DEI is unlocking new ways for brands to shape empowering workplaces, and engage meaningfully with employees, customers and the public at large.
Speakers from various industries and sectors discussed these themes and offered a wealth of perspectives on the impact of DEI initiatives. Moderator Sachi Hamai, retired former CEO of the County of Los Angeles, brought a unique viewpoint from a county renowned for its diverse talent and industries. On the panel, we’re thrilled to have welcomed guest speakers Masatoshi Komoriya, Executive Chairman of MUFG Americas Holding, who has deep expertise about the critical role of DEI in shaping corporate culture globally, Courtney Moore, Vice President for DEI at the Dodgers, a sports organization celebrated for its pioneering diversity initiatives, and Terry Feit, Managing Partner of Deloitte Los Angeles, the region’s largest professional services firm that has championed a corporate culture of trust and team-building.
Immediately following the program, guests were invited to join a networking reception to talk to the speakers and expand their own networks while enjoying the Japanese cuisine catered by JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles’ acclaimed UKA restaurant.
