Sapporo Holdings Ltd announced that it had decided to implement an early retirement incentive plan for its subsidiary, Sapporo Breweries Ltd.

The Group announced its Group Management Plan 2024, and to achieve this, it will promote the appropriate allocation of human resources in line with its basic policy.

At this turning point, Sapporo Breweries Ltd said it would offer early retirement incentives as an option for employees looking for new careers outside the company.

Employees who have worked at Sapporo Breweries Ltd and have worked for 2010 years or more and are 45 years or older.

The company does not set targets for the number of employees. In addition, measures to support second careers will be expanded. In addition to regular retirement benefits, the company provides second-career support benefits and outplacement support services through the company.

The company expects to book second-career support and outplacement costs associated with the implementation of the early retirement program as other operating expenses in Fiscal Year 12/2020.

As these amounts are still uncertain, the company will announce them as soon as they are finalized.
