CSR Management of the TAKARA & CO GROUP

The TAKARA & CO GROUP has achieved growth through the provision of disclosure-related services, earning the trust of listed companies and numerous other customers. Today, under a holding company structure, we have set a direction to evolve into a corporate group which serves as a consulting firm providing highly specialized services to support our customers in enhancing corporate value on a broader scale.
Our management policy is to strive to improve our corporate value by deepening the relationships of trust with our customers and building a foundation for creating new value. At the same time, we will give due consideration to compliance, the social environment and safety to develop together with all of our stakeholders into the future.

Refining "invisible assets" will be the key to fulfilling our social mission

The desire to be of service to people using our expertise was the starting point of our Group's foundation, a principle which has been handed down from our founder. I believe that the source of the Company's corporate value lies in remaining aware of this fact, ensuring that each and every employee fully recognizes the importance of our social responsibilities and earning the trust of customers, while also creating an environment which allows us to act in the best interests of our customers and engaging in management that enhances the strength of our organization.
Our history and achievements are the culmination of the earnest implementation of this founding principle and the trust of our stakeholders, and I consider this to be the source of our value creation that has enabled us to acquire the business base, customer base and trust that the Group enjoys today. The accumulated efforts of our predecessors who worked tirelessly to put this philosophy into practice, and the power of our present-day employees who have inherited and refined these efforts, in other words, the Group's DNA and human resources, are our "invisible assets." The Company's vision is to further refine these assets and to "fulfill our role as a public entity of society," as stated in our management philosophy.

For the TAKARA & CO GROUP to continue to exist in the distant future

While the arrival of a super-aging society and the decrease in the working population pose major issues, the fourth industrial revolution as represented by IT, AI, and IoT is gaining greater momentum. Amid dramatic changes in the business environment, it can be said that one of the major challenges facing our Group at present is to brush up on our "invisible assets" in order to achieve sustainable growth and continue to exist together with society.
In order to be an indispensable company for society, we must not forget the origin of our founding and promote the practice of "customer first," develop innovative human resources, and transform our company into a resilient organization that responds flexibly to changes in the business environment. I believe that the answer to the question of how the Group can co-exist with society can be found in our activities to refine our "invisible assets."
