Integrity Inc. Establishes Hyakkei Inc. on April 15, Specializing in Media and Branding, Independent from Executive Interview Media "Shacho Hyakkei"

Integrity Inc. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Satoshi Nishiyama), which operates investment and consulting businesses, announced that it has established a new company, Hyakkei Inc. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takehide Watabe), on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. This new company, which will operate media and branding businesses, was spun off from Integrity Inc.'s executive interview media "Shacho Hyakkei." Amidst social challenges such as rising turnover rates and difficulties in recruitment for local and small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), we believe that conveying the philosophies of business owners and their passion for their businesses both internally and externally is a crucial initiative that leads to improved internal engagement, reduced turnover rates, enhanced recruitment capabilities, improved productivity, and strengthened human resource development. By carefully articulating the unique perspectives of business owners and communicating the company's purpose and vision both internally and externally, we aim to contribute to the sustainable growth of companies.

■ About Shacho Hyakkei
"Shacho Hyakkei" is an executive interview media that articulates the philosophies and passions of business owners through interviews and disseminates them as stories.
From the origins of their founding, decisions made in adversity, the ideas that permeate the organization, to future visions. Shacho Hyakkei does not merely list superficial events, but rather focuses on the essence, such as "why that decision was made," "what has been cherished," and "where they are headed," carefully delving into the unique perspectives of business owners.
Through these stories, we aim to create a state where the company's purpose and vision are effectively conveyed both internally and externally.

■ Background and Purpose of Establishing Hyakkei Inc.
According to a research result on "The Relationship Between Engagement and Turnover Rate" by Link and Motivation Inc., there is a negative correlation between ES (Engagement Score) and turnover rate, indicating that organizations with higher engagement tend to have lower turnover rates.
This result suggests that creating an organization where employees resonate with the company's purpose and vision and find meaning in their work may be an important factor in talent retention. In an increasingly competitive talent acquisition landscape, for companies to achieve sustainable growth, initiatives to enhance organizational engagement are becoming even more critical, in addition to securing talent through recruitment.

On the other hand, the philosophies and passions of business owners, as well as the company's purpose and vision, are often not sufficiently articulated and communicated internally and externally in the day-to-day operation of the business. We view corporate information dissemination not merely as a means of gaining recognition or public relations, but as a critical management activity that contributes to improved internal engagement, leading to reduced turnover rates, enhanced recruitment capabilities, improved productivity, and strengthened human resource development.
Against this background, Integrity Inc. will establish Hyakkei Inc. by spinning off its media business, centered on "Shacho Hyakkei." Through accelerated decision-making and the concentration of specialized personnel, we will further enhance the value provided in the media and branding domains, contributing to the sustainable growth of companies.

What Hyakkei Inc. Aims For
Hyakkei Inc. aims to meticulously articulate the "scenery"—the founding aspirations, past difficulties, backgrounds of decisions, and future visions—that only business owners can see, and edit them into stories, thereby transforming them into a "North Star" that the entire organization can share. We will contribute to creating an organization where each and every employee deeply understands the company's purpose and vision, thinks and makes decisions independently, and moves forward in the same direction.
Under this vision, the following three businesses will be developed as pillars:
1. Media Business
Through the planning, production, distribution, and sale of executive interview articles, videos, radio programs, podcasts, etc., we will broadly convey the philosophies and passions of business owners to society.
2. Community Business
Through the planning, operation, and management of communities for business owners and business professionals, we will provide a venue for exchanging values and knowledge, creating new learning and co-creation opportunities.
3. Branding Business
Through the planning, production, and consulting related to corporate branding and inner branding, we will contribute to corporate brand formation, permeation of philosophy, improvement of turnover rates, and enhancement of recruitment capabilities.
