    In an era marked by accelerated technological change, demographic transformation, and heightened geopolitical uncertainty, the significance of Human Resources is more pronounced than ever. 
     

    The 26th Global HR Conference in Tokyo (26GHR Tokyo) recognizes that HR must transcend its traditional support role to serve as a strategic catalyst driving both organizational and societal transformation. 
     

    We affirm that Global HR holds a pivotal position in generating value for enterprises and society through the development of human capital, facilitation of innovation, and promotion of sustainable economic advancement. 
     

    Through dialogue and collaboration among global HR leaders, executives, policymakers, and scholars, we commit to advancing the following principles: 

    1. Human-Centric Leadership 
      Organizations must place people at the center of strategy while embracing technological innovation. 

    2. Data-Driven Decision Making 
      People Analytics and evidence-based HR practices should support strategic management decisions. 

    3. Human Capital for Sustainable Growth 
      Effective human capital management contributes to long-term enterprise value and societal prosperity. 

    4. Strategic HR Leadership 
      HR leaders must play a central role in shaping organizational strategy and governance. 

    5. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 
      Inclusive workplaces are essential for innovation, resilience, and sustainable development. 
       

    26GHR Tokyo is dedicated to enhancing global collaboration among human resources professionals and institutions. Collectively, our objective is to foster organizations and communities where human potential is cultivated, ultimately contributing to a sustainable and inclusive future.
