Furthermore, in addition to direct revenue projects, we are actively developing various social contribution activities such as public health promotion, Sports and Cultural Promotions, also we have grown to be one of the leading welfare enterprises in Japan, both in terms of scale and quality, we have expanded our field from Tokushima to Kagawa, Kochi, Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo.

Not long ago, the social structure and economic situation in Japan changed dramatically, and so as welfare services from measures to contracts. Towards the creation of a sustainable nation as a response to the rapid aging with low-birthrate, Care and Welfare, Medical Care and Childcare are viewed as a “new growing industry”, as a group of professionals which plays a part of a growth strategy in achieving a goal, a mission to open up a new era with efficiency and productivity. With the amendment of the Social Welfare Law, comes a strong demand for Social Welfare Corporations for strong governance and societal contribution, and as a top leader of Nursing Care in Japan we strive hard to enhance the transparency of the organization and improve work efficiency while continuing further reforms on the workplace to provide high quality services for the consumers.

We open up a new age, in the pursuit of “co-creation and competition”, “evolution and expansion” and “gentleness”; we will strive hard to build services based on the “pursuit on quality of service, co-creation in the workplace, and focusing on societal contribution”.
