Thought Leadership | サステナビリティ（CSR）

We believe that a sustainable world starts from within. Deep self-reflection about who we are as humans and as leaders, as well as a commitment to action are essential for a more sustainable world. Our purpose is “Leadership for a Better World.” We help major organizations transform in a world that is calling out for action. However, long-term systemic change cannot happen without a collective change in mindset—understanding the role we all play in creating a better future. As a Firm, we are on this journey, too.
