Enriching+ Celebrates One Year! Introducing four Articles in Three Categories
Enriching+ was launched to show the authentic face of Sumitomo Corporation Group, its diverse range of businesses and initiatives, as well as its employees around the world. October 2024 marks one full year since Enriching+ was launched.
To commemorate this milestone, we have selected recommended articles across three categories: "Business Introductions" illustrating our employees' passion for business, "Personality Introductions" looking at the real side of our employees and executives, and "Employment Introductions" answering questions about employee hiring and human resources. We hope you enjoy these varied perspectives on Sumitomo Corporation.

Making Travel More Eco-friendly – the "Any Wear, Anywhere" Destination-based Clothing Rental Service
Any Wear, Anywhere, a clothing rental service for international travelers, was launched as an in-house startup by Sumitomo Corporation employees who love to travel. Since the pilot launched, the service has been well received in Japan and overseas, leading to the extension of the pilot until March 2025 and updates to the service.
We asked the creators about their experience developing a service that changes the way people travel.

Our new graduate recruiters answer 10 frequently asked questions (Part 1)
Many people think of Sumitomo Corporation as an integrated trading company or a "global" company. But what is it really like working at Sumitomo Corporation? What does a career at the company actually entail? To shed some light on the topic, new graduate recruiters with one to three years' experience – recruiters who remember how it feels to be job hunters themselves – answer some frequently asked questions from students. The conversations were highly illuminating, and the content is presented in two parts.

Human Resources Managers on Strengthening Mid-career Hires, Which Now Account for 40% of Openings Filled
Sumitomo Corporation does not hire new graduates all at once. Rather, the company is strengthening its career hire system (mid-career recruitment). Mr. Takahashi, the president of Hakobune featured in one of the recommended articles above, came to the company as a career hire and has been remarkably successful in his first year. We asked a recruiter from the HR Department why the company is strengthening its career hire system and how career-oriented employees embrace their work after joining the company.
