ESG

Message from the CEO

We believe that a company should be a means to enhance the well-being of everyone involved — employees, clients, shareholders, and society as a whole. Since our establishment in 2003, we have been striving to increase the number of people involved in and impacted by our business, while placing importance on making everyone happy.

We are committed to building an organization in which motivated employees work energetically, providing value to customers through our services and products, as a result increasing our corporate value, and contributing to society not only through tax payments and employment but also through various other activities. We believe that expanding our scope of influence by continuing to repeat this cycle is what running a company is all about.

In recent years, social issues such as the SDGs have been gaining attention around the world, and the promotion of ESG initiatives is indispensable for the sound operation of the above cycle. Among the many issues that our society faces, we believe that our mission is to create a society in which people feel motivated to work. We have been and will continue to take on a variety of challenges.

Identifying our materiality

In order to realize our goal of creating a society in which people feel motivated to work, we identified the priority issues (materiality) in the economic and social areas.

Materiality identification process

  1. By referencing international ESG guidelines such as FTSE, MSCI, GRI standards, and SDGs, we identified social issues that are highly relevant to our business activities.

  2. All employees discussed the social issues and weighed them based on their importance to the company's growth and economy, and to society. Then, these social issues were assessed for relevance to our business strategy through discussions by the Board of Directors, and materiality was ultimately identified through a resolution by the Board of Directors.
