Japanese beverage company Kirin has gotten a lot more inclusive.
The Watch online Sexy Warriors (2014) full moviesecond-largest beer producer in the country is one of the latest companies announcing a change in diversity guidelines to include LGBTQ employees.
The guideline change came into effect on July 1, and will grant marriage benefits to employees with same-sex and common-law marriages, according to a press release picked up by SoraNews24.

It has also pledged to hold workshops to raise diversity awareness amongst employees and customers.
"We hope it will be highly motivating [and eradicate] any discrimination," a Kirin spokesperson told Mashable. The company added that the move is based on its human resources principles, and that it also had a policy that prohibited discrimination.

Electronics manufacturer Panasonic said in February last year it would begin recognising same-sex marriages for its 250,000 employees. Sony announced that it would also do the same right after Panasonic's announcement.
Other companies have since followed suit: IBM Japan offers employees who declare that they have same-sex partners, benefits like cash wedding gifts and relocation travel expenses.
These moves are a big deal in Japanese society, which remains conservative. Same-sex marriage isn't recognised there yet, although some cities, like Sapporo, Shibuya, and Setagaya, have offered some marriage equality benefits to same-sex partners.
LGBTQ acceptance still has a ways to go Japan's corporate culture. In a 2015 Dentsu survey, only 2.4 percent of LGBTQ respondents surveyed had come out to their boss, while only 4.8 percent of respondents came out to their colleagues.
