Benesse Holdings, Inc. is a holding company that promotes growth strategies and effectively allocates resources in the Benesse Group for its operations in the five business domains of Domestic Education, Overseas Education, Lifestyle, Senior/Nursing Care, and Language/Global Leadership Training.

 

The Benesse Group is currently facing a host of changes in the business environment, from aging demographics to the march of globalization and advancements in IT communications network technologies. Approximately 30 operating companies including Benesse Corporation (education and lifestyle-related products), Benesse Style Care Co., Ltd. (senior/nursing care) and Berlitz International (language and global leadership training) focus on execution of business, as the Group strives for long-term, stable growth as a whole.

 

The common corporate philosophy linking Benesse Holdings and each of the operating companies is the "well being" concept embodied in the name Benesse. This philosophy is integral to our business activities, and each operating company seeks to commercialize the concept of "well being" in its respective domain.

 

Over the years the Benesse Group has consistently spread the message of providing the kind of high-quality services we would be happy to use ourselves and offer to our own families; supporting people in fulfilling their potential at every stage of life; and delivering services that help customers find even greater enjoyment in life the older they become. Going forward, we will continue to develop people-oriented business, gain more fans and loyal customers who will spread the word about Benesse to their communities, and become a company that is indispensable to society.
