Message from the CFO

Approach to Sustainability

The Link and Motivation Group has set forth its mission: “Through Motivation Engineering, we provide opportunities to transform organizations and individuals and create a more meaningful society.” Helping to create a sustainable society is an indispensable theme for the Group in carrying out this mission, and we consider it an issue we must address in a straightforward and responsible manner.
For the Group, sustainability means using our businesses to help resolve a variety of social issues that arise in working to create a sustainable society, while also establishing connections so that conducting those businesses also contributes to the sustainable growth of the Group.
In working to achieve sustainability, we share the three unwavering goals of the Link and Motivation Group’s management policy with all employees, and address key issues as we monitor constantly changing social trends.

Three Goals of Our Management Policy

The first goal is “Management with Integrity.” The Group aims to conduct business with no illegality or dishonesty with regard to any of its stakeholders,including customers, business partners, employees and shareholders. This goal has been deeply ingrained in the Group as the most important factor in achieving good governance and fulfilling our social responsibilities.
Next, based on our belief that human resources are a company’s greatest, most powerful type of capital, our second goal calls for “Management in Which Every Employee Plays a Leading Role.” As business shifts from goods to services, the intangible power of ideas, motivation, hospitality and other qualities held by human capital determine the fate of a company.
We therefore believe it is important to be an organization in which each of our diverse human resources can work with strong motivation toward a common goal. The third goal is “Management with Good Reflexes.” As the pace of change in the operating environment accelerates, the ability to adapt will become crucial for companies in their ongoing efforts to resolve social issues. We believe that taking a stance of making swift management decisions to address changes in markets and laws as well as generating change ourselves is essential for sustainable corporate growth.

People Are the Linchpin of Sustainable Growth

Human capital management has been attracting attention lately. This concept is virtually synonymous with the message that the Link and Motivation Group has been communicating to society since its founding—a message that management driven by employee motivation will be the dominant force in our era. The Group believes that sustainable corporate growth is essential for achieving a sustainable society, and that the linchpin of this growth is people.
From its position at the forefront of human capital management in Japan, the Link and Motivation Group intends to lead by example, practicing what it preaches in conducting its own management and proactively disclosing the status of its initiatives.
We will continue working to improve the corporate value of the Group as we help to resolve social issues through our businesses in order to achieve a sustainable society.
