*Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is the dream of "Baton Co."
■ Our Dream
Towards a society where both children and adults who stumble can move forward again and again.
Baton Co. is
a publisher that delivers knowledge to overcome life's setbacks and live authentically.
Children who couldn't go to school.
Families struggling with their child's developmental characteristics.
Adults anxious about money or career.
Stopping midway through life happens to everyone.
At such times, people can move forward again by encountering knowledge.
We value delivering specialized and often complex knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner.
■ Underlying Social Issues
Currently, the following issues are widespread in Japan:
・Increase in school non-attendance
・Increasing awareness of developmental disorders and "gray zones," and lack of support
・Disparity in financial literacy
・Bias in career options
All of these are problems that lead to "life's setbacks."
However, in many cases,
"necessary knowledge is not reaching people" or "it's too difficult to understand" are barriers.
■ Baton Co.'s Initiatives
Baton Co. engages in publishing activities that deliver knowledge to help those who stumble move forward again, in an easy-to-understand format for everyone.
Furthermore, as a "one-person publisher" that handles everything from planning to editing and production,
we create books with a philosophy in each and every volume.
Books are not just information;
we believe they are a "baton" that expands someone's life choices.
That is why, instead of "selling and being done," we value long-sellers and reprints that are read continuously.
■ Actions Towards Realizing the Dream
To realize this dream, Baton Co. will advance initiatives such as:
・Deliver knowledge to one million people through books
・Expand collaboration with schools, local governments, and businesses
・Make "knowledge for moving life forward" reproducible by anyone
...We will continue to promote such initiatives.
Beyond mere publishing,
we aim to become a "knowledge infrastructure" that supports new beginnings in life.
■ Finally
Baton Co. primarily publishes practical books on developmental support, parenting, and investment.
Not "curing" a child's developmental characteristics, but "leveraging" them.
Expanding choices for both children and adults to live authentically.
And having the power to choose for oneself, without being swayed by financial anxiety.
What we deliver are practical books that support "ease of living" and "the power to live."
