Climate action
As climate change becomes even more serious, the damage that humanity and society suffer from natural disasters, such as typhoons, torrential rains, earthquakes, tsunamis, severe droughts, and water shortages, could be far more significant than we anticipate. We tackle the problem of climate change to prevent, to the maximum extent possible, a crisis that could pose threat to our learning and our work and to ensure that we and future generations will be able to lead safe and rich lives.
Contributing to the development of society through business
In these times of VUCA—volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—society has been changing at an accelerating pace year by year. In order to illuminate a formerly undefined future, we defy stereotypes and continue to offer new services that are able to meet a variety of needs and address all kinds of social issues. Not only do we support career development and help create a better work environment, but we also innovate to broaden people’s potential, thereby contributing to the development of society.
Promoting decent work
As the working population decreases and work styles become increasingly diversified, it is important to provide a workplace environment in which all employees are able to demonstrate their ability, and thereby ensure that all employees are able to envision a promising future. We establish a workplace environment that values employees’ well-being and provide workplaces where employees are able to feel a sense of fulfillment about their work and perform at their best.
Promoting respect for human rights and diversity
We accept diverse values and value respecting all people we work with. We promote respect for human rights and diversity, while also endeavoring to create an organizational culture in which diverse people are able to demonstrate their ability, regardless of gender, age, race, nationality, or whether they have any disability or not.
Conducting business in a responsible way
Managing information properly is one of the important responsibilities for Mynavi, which mainly provides services using the Internet, information technology, and data. We ensure that all employees have keen awareness about information management, endeavor to promote compliance and strengthen corporate governance, and act in a just way, in order to contribute to building a sustainable society. In addition, we also conduct business in a transparent way.
