Another mission is to contribute to economic growth and market expansion by providing quality survey information based on our specialist knowledge and meticulous field research while faithfully observing rules and keeping order as a corporate member of society.

Environmental preservation, resource saving and energy saving

As a responsible corporate member of society, we constantly make efforts in our workplaces aimed at preserving the environment with the goal of living in harmony with the local community and natural environment and protecting the irreplaceable global environment. At the same time, we are fully aware that we receive many different benefits from the Earth, including the resources required for our business activities, and that it is our responsibility to work to preserve the global environment to leave it in a better state, while observing all environmental protection-related laws and striving to make efficient use of resources and energy, contribute to decarbonization of society, and reduce waste, with the aim of creating a more sustainable society that allows economic growth and environmental preservation to coexist.

The work we do helps to stimulate economic growth through market research, mainly field research. Our findings from market research in various fields help clients to grasp markets and consider whether to enter a market, and assist them in promoting product development and technological innovation, thereby spurring industrial development. In recent years, we have created a multitude of market research documents from the perspectives of the environment, digital transformation and decarbonization, our key areas of focus, to contribute to business growth in these areas.

Contributing to achieving the SDGs through field research

We create market research documents from the perspectives of the environment, digital transformation and decarbonization, our areas of focus keywords that form the foundation of the SDGs, and provide basic data on related businesses, thereby contributing to achieving the SDGs.

Press releases

The aim is to make market data based on our research results widely known in society.
We create more than 100 market research documents each year by carrying out specialist market research in many different fields. These results are also published in the form of press releases, so that our market data can reach many people through media coverage, contributing to market growth in a wide variety of fields.

Providing jobs

Since first opening for business, the Fuji Keizai Group has worked hard to protect jobs. The Japanese economy has experienced many recessions, such as the two oil shocks, the transition to floating exchange rates, the burst of the economic bubble, and the post-Lehman-shock global economic crisis. As these events unfolded, we continued to protect our employees’ jobs without cutting a single one. We believe that protecting jobs is a corporate social responsibility. We will also place greater emphasis on employing people with disabilities in the future.

Workplace environment improvements

To create a better working environment, the Fuji Keizai Group is promoting various employee work styles, such as introducing hourly paid leave and expanding staggered work hours, and stimulating internal communication through support for club activities. We are also actively working to support balancing childcare and nursing care responsibilities, such as providing paid childcare leave and a paid nursing care leave system that allows employees to accumulate paid leave and use it for nursing care. Respect for human rights is a universal standard of behavior. The Fuji Keizai Group acts with respect for basic human rights and does not discriminate in any way. We comply with labor laws and do not tolerate child labor or forced labor. We support international efforts to eliminate and abolish these practices and strive to achieve them.

Human resource development

We focus on talent and career development support for employees by expanding educational programs, such as on-the-job training for newcomers, class-based training, more practical skill training, and personal development support.

Employee health

We respect each and every employee and position health promotion, which allows employees to work energetically and with sound mind and body, as a “management issue.” We encourage each employee to “selfdiscipline their health management” and work to “create a vibrant workplace.“The Fuji Keizai Group is committed to promoting the health of its employees, including regular health checkups, comprehensive medical checkups, and the promotion of appropriate work hour management. We have also received the “Health and Productivity Management Excellent Corporation 2024 (Large Category)” and “Health and Productivity Excellent Company Silver Certification” as a health and productivity-enhancing corporation.
