Helping people to "live well"
Benesse Corporation is committed to three key objectives: 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. It is to achieve these goals that we dedicate ourselves to our business activities each day.
Japan is undergoing a major transformation now with the decline in the birthrate and the increase in the number of older persons.
As these trends intensify, education, welfare, and other social systems are changing dramatically. Given this context, I believes that Benesse Corpration is being called as a private-sector company to play an even larger role in Japanese society.
As our society and economy become increasingly globalized with the advancement of information technology, Benesse believes it is its mission to support children's learning in order to ensure that Japan's children -our nation's future leaders-are equipped to be dynamic participants in their local communities, Japanese society in general, and the international community.
We at Benesse look squarely at reality and carefully discern what we can do from a long-team and broad perspective and then work to achieve our vision. In this way, we aim to be a company that is indispensable to its customers, to communities, and to society in general, a company that is respected around the world.
