In accordance with the comparability principle of ESRS 1 (7.1), all quantitative indicators are disclosed in a three-year comparative format covering 2023, 2024, and 2025. The 2023 and 2024 data were extracted directly from the i-SENS 2024 Sustainability Report (official).

8. Diversity and Non-Discrimination Policy (S4-9 · S4-10 · ESRS S1-1 · S1-12 / GRI 405 · 406)

i-SENS, Inc. has rules to ensure that no discrimination occurs on the basis of gender, age, religion, social status, employment type, disability, place of origin, educational background, school of origin, marital status, pregnancy, childbirth, or medical history, without rational grounds, at any stage of human resource management — recruitment, wages, benefits, training, assignment, transfer, promotion, retirement, dismissal, or retirement age. The Company grants additional points in hiring for persons with disabilities and government-designated employment-assistance beneficiaries.

Three-year trend results: The female manager ratio rose from 17.0% to 22.9% (+5.9%p, the largest improvement range in five years); persons with disabilities rose from 4 to 6 (+50%). Improvement task: female executives decreased from 1 to 0 (natural reduction in 2025). The Company operates an executive-candidate diversity policy targeting the appointment of at least one female executive within the next reporting period.
