Now in its second year, the Nissan Way DEI Awards continue to shine a light on the people and teams going the extra mile to create a culture of equity and inclusion within our business. These are AMIEO-wide awards, celebrating best practices and inspiring action across our entire region.
The Aftersales Warehouse Team at NMIPL (Nissan Motor India Private Ltd) recognised a clear opportunity to challenge the status quo and improve gender diversity in their operations. With women associates making up just 5% of the workforce, the team took decisive steps to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment. A series of DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) initiatives were launched, focusing on:
These actions created a more welcoming and empowering space for women associates, resulting in a remarkable increase in female workforce representation - rising from 5% to 16%. A strong step forward in making our workplaces reflect the values we stand for.
Another standout initiative at NMIPL helped expand opportunities beyond the workplace. In partnership with the White Lotus Trust, which provides bus services for students in remote villages, the team invited 44 young female scholars from rural villages to Nissan’s Head Office, giving them a first-hand look at corporate life and access to inspiring stories from female leaders.
Through thoughtful storytelling and real-world connection, the visit helped these girls envision a future for themselves in professional settings. It also supports our business goal of building a stronger pipeline of female talent.
