ORIX Selected as a Nadeshiko Brand for the Second Consecutive Year

TOKYO, Japan – March 19, 2026 – ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced today that it has been selected as a FY2025 Nadeshiko Brand^*1 by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). This is the second consecutive year that ORIX has been selected as a Nadeshiko Brand.

The Nadeshiko Brand is an initiative aiming to introduce certain TSE-listed companies that are outstanding in terms of encouraging women’s empowerment in the workplace as attractive stocks to investors who place an emphasis on improving corporate value in the medium- and long-term, thereby further encouraging investments in such companies and accelerating such efforts by companies. ORIX has been selected as a FY2025 Nadeshiko Brand for being a company that links women’s empowerment to its management strategy through both “support for consistent career development from recruitment to promotion” and “support for dual careers and co-parenting.”

ORIX has expanded from its roots in financial services into neighboring fields and has developed a unique business model that creates new value. In April 2025, ORIX formulated “ORIX Group Growth Strategy 2035”, its long-term growth strategy centered on its Purpose. This strategy aims to achieve a sustainable growth cycle in three focus areas by leveraging its two business models, “Alternative Investment & Operations” and “Business Solutions”.
Enhancing the value of human capital is a key pillar of ORIX’s growth strategy. The diverse human resources who put this strategy into practice are ORIX’s most valuable asset, and fully unlocking that talent drives sustainable business growth.

ORIX will continue to build a workplace where all employees can fully maximize their performance, and will work to respond swiftly to market needs by enabling diverse talent to thrive. In doing so, ORIX will advance the realization of “ORIX Group Purpose & Culture^*2” and strive to sustainably improve corporate value.
