■ About "B Corp Month 2026 Community Gathering in Japan"

Every March, "B Corp Month" is a global campaign where B Corp certified companies worldwide communicate the significance of their social and environmental contributions through business. B Corp Month has been held annually since 2017, with the U.S. non-profit organization B Lab and the global community working together to raise awareness of B Corp certification and promote the movement.

This event was hosted by B Market Builder Japan (BMBJ), B Lab's official partner in Japan. Over 100 participants gathered on the day, making it an opportunity to feel the steady spread of the B Corp movement in Japan.

At the venue, B Corp certified companies, companies aiming for B Corp certification, and stakeholders supporting the movement gathered to present on the current status and future prospects of the Japanese B Corp community, and to actively engage in inter-company exchange and networking.

■ Our Company's Participation

Since obtaining B Corp certification in June 2025, our company has been promoting responsible business activities as a B Corp certified company. Our participation in this Community Gathering was an important opportunity to contribute to the development of the movement in Japan as a member of the B Corp community and to deepen collaboration with like-minded companies.

Furthermore, prior to this event, on January 14, 2026, our company successfully held a joint seminar titled "Are Your Efforts Reaching Society? – Communication Creates Sustainability That Reaches Society" at our office, together with Sunny Side Up Group and Eco Ring Co., Ltd., both also B Corp certified companies. In this seminar, speakers and participants engaged in discussions on the importance of continuous efforts and communication to society "beyond" merely achieving B Corp certification.

■ Future Outlook

As the speed of information transfer accelerates, it is becoming difficult to stop the spread and expansion of slander and defamation against people, goods, and companies. Under the mission of "creating new value with advanced technology and innovative ideas," our company aims to realize a society free from reputational damage, where people and companies can confidently re-challenge, through our AI-powered reputation management business. As a B Corp certified company, we will fulfill our social and environmental responsibilities in our business activities and contribute to the construction of a sustainable economic system through collaboration with the B Corp community.

As of February 2026, the number of B Corp certified companies in Japan has reached 76, and interest in B Corp is increasing year by year domestically. Our company will continue to actively disseminate information through participation in events and hosting seminars during B Corp Month, and by proactively sharing our knowledge as a B Corp certified company, we will contribute to the expansion of the B Corp movement in Japan.
