Dentsu has been involved in the planning, execution, and management of international events and large-scale events in which a diverse range of people participate regardless of nationality, age, gender, or whether they have a disability. These guidelines have been compiled based on the experience of the participants, assuming all kinds of barriers and systematically organizing and editing their solutions, making use of the perspectives and knowledge of the event business cultivated there. By realizing comprehensive universal design (UD) support from event planning conception, venue setting, construction to operation, production and sampling, it is possible to hold events that everyone can enjoy participating.
By complying with these guidelines, Dentsu will increase the number of events that everyone can enjoy. In addition, by opening this to the public, we will contribute to the penetration of UD support into many events. The content of these guidelines will be updated as needed, and we are also considering developing check sheets and holding seminars for event organizers and creators.
Dentsu will continue to contribute to the realization of an inclusive society through consultation and implementation support for corporate initiatives in the DE&I domain.
