Under the Management Policy of Building a Company for the Ages, the TOSE Group has long pursued management with an emphasis on sustainability. To achieve sound, sustained, and inclusive growth that contributes to the welfare of both our stakeholders and the nation, we engage in business based on a strong sense of obligations related to the environment, society, and governance. We see sustainability as a key aspect of risk management: Slow or inappropriate response in promoting sustainability can generate significant risks that affect our future. At the same time, we see these issues as opportunities to create a better future for society and the TOSE Group.

Representing the most powerful engine driving business growth, our human capital is instrumental in putting into practice the Group's Mission to Offer Better Products and Services to Contribute to a Sound, Enriched Society. This is why we focus on growing our human capital and maximizing capital efficiency, as we strive to strengthen employee engagement through various measures, including measures to promote diversity and inclusion, build systems that support the autonomous growth of our employees, and promote health and productivity management to further the well-being of our employees.

Assuming coexistence with the environment as a prerequisite, the Group believes that the key topics for an entity engaged in creating digital content are questions concerning how to contribute to the progress of digital technologies, improve quality of life based on these technologies, protect intellectual property, and create new value through its application.

We see achieving shared prosperity with the local community as another key topic. We strive to contribute to global sustainability; at the same time, we seek to be an enterprise that contributes to the progress of Kyoto, our home. In addition to participating in our community through our business activities, we support future generations and promote the arts and athletics in Kyoto.

Through sustainability initiatives focused on the above points, we strive to enrich the lives of all stakeholders and to help make society more sustainable. We ask for your continuing understanding and support in these efforts.
