To do so would remove handicaps facing companies doing business in Japan in attracting and retaining talent and in treating the full diversity of their workforce equitably, which are foundational elements of a work environment conducive to maximum productivity.\n\nThere are 34 countries with marriage equality, including most of Japan’s international peers. There is now sufficient empirical evidence that equal marriage would result in concrete benefits for the LGBT community, for companies doing business in Japan and for Japanese companies doing business abroad. In addition to benefiting the country’s overall economic competitiveness and increasing productivity, marriage equality would positively impact Japan’s reputation on the world stage by demonstrating its continued commitment to individual liberty and human rights.\n\nThe business case for equal marriage is clear and universal. LLAN has worked closely with the ACCJ and other entities to ensure and expand the support for the Viewpoint, relying on the model of the Amicus Brief submitted by 379 major corporations in support of marriage equality before the US Supreme Court in 2015.\n***\n**The Viewpoint on Marriage Equality**\n***\n[Viewpoint: Support the Recruitment and Retention of Talent by Instituting Marriage Equality

Boilerpipe Text	日本語版 We have 143 supporters ! On 19 September 2018, the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan, alongside 4 other Chambers and having consulted with many of its members, issued a statement recommending that the Government of Japan recognizes the right to marry to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) couples. To do so would remove handicaps facing companies doing business in Japan in attracting and retaining talent and in treating the full diversity of their workforce equitably, which are foundational elements of a work environment conducive to maximum productivity. There are 34 countries with marriage equality, including most of Japan’s international peers. There is now sufficient empirical evidence that equal marriage would result in concrete benefits for the LGBT community, for companies doing business in Japan and for Japanese companies doing business abroad. In addition to benefiting the country’s overall economic competitiveness and increasing productivity, marriage equality would positively impact Japan’s reputation on the world stage by demonstrating its continued commitment to individual liberty and human rights. The business case for equal marriage is clear and universal. LLAN has worked closely with the ACCJ and other entities to ensure and expand the support for the Viewpoint, relying on the model of the Amicus Brief submitted by 379 major corporations in support of marriage equality before the US Supreme Court in 2015.

Readable Markdown	[日本語版](https://llanjapan.org/llan17/news/930) ### We have 143 supporters \! On 19 September 2018, the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan, alongside 4 other Chambers and having consulted with many of its members, issued a statement recommending that the Government of Japan recognizes the right to marry to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) couples. To do so would remove handicaps facing companies doing business in Japan in attracting and retaining talent and in treating the full diversity of their workforce equitably, which are foundational elements of a work environment conducive to maximum productivity. There are 34 countries with marriage equality, including most of Japan’s international peers. There is now sufficient empirical evidence that equal marriage would result in concrete benefits for the LGBT community, for companies doing business in Japan and for Japanese companies doing business abroad. In addition to benefiting the country’s overall economic competitiveness and increasing productivity, marriage equality would positively impact Japan’s reputation on the world stage by demonstrating its continued commitment to individual liberty and human rights. The business case for equal marriage is clear and universal. LLAN has worked closely with the ACCJ and other entities to ensure and expand the support for the Viewpoint, relying on the model of the Amicus Brief submitted by 379 major corporations in support of marriage equality before the US Supreme Court in 2015. * The Viewpoint on Marriage Equality * [Viewpoint: Support the Recruitment and Retention of Talent by Instituting Marriage Equality in Japan](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5eb491d611335c743fef24ce/t/663c9632235b7339593c2ed2/1715246644118/2402+Marriage+Equality_HRM.pdf) [BCCJ Press Release: Marriage Equality in Japan, September 21, 2018](https://bccjapan.com/news/legalizing-marriage-equality-would-be-economically-good-for-business-in-japan/) * Proud Supporters of the Viewpoint * The ACCJ has been joined by other Chambers, organizations, consultancy and law firms, and corporations in supporting the marriage equality: To learn more about this initiative or to show your support, [contact LLAN](https://llanjapan.org/llan17/contact) and visit our [Q\&A page](https://llanjapan.org/llan17/viewpoint/878).
