Values

For each and every one

We will provide user-centered services with high ethical standards, putting the interests of the people who tread together on the path of country above all else. Listening also to the unspoken wishes and being there for each and every one, we will create a society in which everyone benefits from digital technology.

Always confirming our purpose

We will proactively question assumptions and conventions, and actively adopt new methods and concepts with the aim of creating a Japan that we can be proud to show to the world. We will always keep in mind our goals, have the courage to stop what's unnecessary, and work with high productivity.

We work together as a team by respecting diversity, empathizing with others, and learning from and complementing each other. We also act autonomously and create an open and transparent environment based on mutual trust.

Always moving towards results

We grow as an organization by executing speedily and getting feedback, without seeking excessive perfection. We believe that learning from our many challenges and failures is the key to maximizing the value we provide to our users, and as pioneers, we will continue to challenge ourselves to achieve results while giving back what we've learnt to society.
