Comments from Hozumi Tanji, President and Representative Director
To be honest, I had my doubts about changing the name of our company, which has been in existence for 30 years. I was encouraged by the founder, Seiji Nakamura, who said, "Management is not in the past; we should deny the past and move forward as fast as we can," and decided to change the company name as a means of realizing "unconscious decarbonization.
We would like to take on the challenge of solving social issues by creating a system that enables people to contribute to decarbonization without hassle, simply by using our convenient and reliable services.
And as we look toward the next 30 years, I promise all of our stakeholders that we will continue to make everyone involved in our business happy with the spirit of "yappo yoshi" while weaving our DNA to continue to take on challenges.
