Our Basic Sustainability Policy

At the Keyware Group, we have defined our role in society as “to use information technology rich in creativity to provide solutions that exceed customer demands, help customers realize dreams and ideals, and contribute to development of a prosperous society.”Our basic stance on sustainable initiatives is that it is our social responsibility to provide a reliable suite of optimal products and services that ensure safety and peace of mind and to aim to achieve a sustainable society through our businesses.

In order to provide IT solutions and services in response to the needs of customers and society and to further our growth as a corporation, we consider it essential to preserve the financial health and transparency of our business and to promote conscientious business activities, while striving to maintain active communication with our diverse group of stakeholders.So that every employee properly understands our role and how we are to contribute to society and puts this understanding into practice, we have established a clear statement of our mode of thinking as the Basic Sustainability Policy.We establish specific annual targets, track the results, and implement a PDCA cycle based on this Basic Sustainability Policy.In particular, we conduct ongoing education/training and employee events so that company employees can take the initiative to identify and solve social issues in their own fashion and create or propose new businesses that can solve social issues.Many employees actively participated in cleanup activities and blood drives in 2023 as well.We will hold various events such as participating in local volunteering efforts in fiscal year 2024 as well.

In addition to practicing compliance, we must never allow a situation to occur in which our customers incur damage as a result of system problems or security incidents that are our fault.We are involved in the development of information systems that support social infrastructure in various fields, including government administration, transportation, communications, finance, medical care, distribution, and manufacturing, and recognize that it is our social responsibility to ensure the safety and reliability of our systems.For that reason, we provide employees with various education and self-development programs related to information security and compliance.

Creating a comfortable work environment

The most important management resource for companies is “people.”We believe that the mental and physical health of our employees and their leading of full public and private lives are important elements to allow us to provide our customers with optimal products and services and contribute to the achievement of a sustainable society, so we promote health management and achievement of a work-life balance.In July 2019, Keyware Solutions received official certification as a company with superior health promotion infrastructure (Silver Certification). Furthermore, we were recognized for five years running (from 2020) in the large enterprise category of Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations.

In September 2019, we received certification as a “Childcare Support Company” from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and acquired the “Kurumin” next-generation certification mark based on the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children.

We have established frameworks to enable flexible work styles allowing employees to balance child care, eldercare, and nursing with their work duties, and promotes IT and workplace environments that stimulate communication and streamline work.We will not only simply build the system, but also conduct a variety of training sessions and seminars to support employee career formation.

We plan on continuously improving work and reevaluating our systems to allow for sustainable work styles.We will continue to build an environment where employees can engage in diverse work styles that consider work-life balance to allow them to work lively, as well as take efforts to support employee career development.
