The "White Company Certification," operated by the General Incorporated Foundation Japan Next Generation Enterprise Promotion Organization (commonly known as the White Foundation), is the only comprehensive corporate evaluation system in Japan.
This certification targets not "companies that are not black," but "companies that are supported by families and society, and that we want to leave for future generations."
Based on strict screening criteria covering as many as 70 items, including business model, human resource development, flexible working styles, diversity, health management, and compliance with labor laws, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted. As of April 2026, a cumulative total of 663 companies have acquired this certification.
And, effective April 1, 2026, Hino Eye Clinic newly acquired the White Company Certification.

Origin of Action: "Six States of Mind"
What is noteworthy in the operation of the clinic is "Good mood, positive outlook, grateful heart, sincerity, altruistic spirit, cleanliness" – these six states of mind are the origin of all actions.
The clinic defines "good mood as manners that make those around you happy." The organization embodies a "chain of gratitude" where staff continuously express gratitude, which in turn spreads gratitude to patients.
The Foundation highly praised this culture as the strong foundation of trust that attracts 3,000 new patients annually.
The Challenge of Balancing Advanced Medical Care and Workplace Environment
To continue meeting high expectations from the community, the clinic prioritizes staff growth and physical and mental health. The outstanding record of 921 cataract surgeries annually (2024実績) is supported by excellent teamwork among staff.
Realizing a "sustainable workplace environment" where everyone can continue to work flexibly, with consideration for individual circumstances such as childcare and nursing care, can be called a pioneering example of human capital management in the medical industry.
Strategic "Three Pillars" for Vision Realization
The clinic has formulated a concrete roadmap for providing ideal medical care.
The first is the development of "next-generation leaders" who can identify issues themselves.
The second is the overwhelming efficiency improvement through DX (Digital Transformation). Data integration, such as electronic medical records, creates time for staff to concentrate on "human-only" warm care.
And the third is to challenge the major milestone of 1,000 and 1,050 surgeries annually, promoting a plan to bring smiles to even more patients.
Hino Eye Clinic Representative Mr. Hino's Vision and Challenge
Mr. Taiichi Hino, Representative of Hino Eye Clinic
"Connecting 'Family-like Ophthalmology' to the next generation in Shiga"
To continue our 'family-like ophthalmology,' it is necessary for diverse personnel to recognize each other's differences and cooperate to maximize the team's strength. Only when staff are healthy and have an environment where they can positively challenge new initiatives can we deliver the best medical care to patients. Encouraged by this certification, we hope to further accelerate the virtuous cycle of contributing to local medical care in Shiga and enabling staff to 'live better.'
Hino Eye Clinic's initiatives serve as an indicator of how philosophy and technology can revitalize the workplace in the medical industry, which suffers from a serious shortage of human resources. An environment where staff can work with a "good mood" ultimately contributes to the best medical services for local residents.
The White Company Certification resonates with the company's belief in "working better, living better" and strongly supports this challenge.

What is White Company Certification?
Creating a Society Where "Working" is Enjoyable
A "White Company," as defined by the General Incorporated Foundation Japan Next Generation Enterprise Promotion Organization (White Foundation), refers not to a "company that is not a black company," but to a "company that is supported by families and society, and that we want to leave for future generations."
Based on the certification standards, companies whose employees are told by their families, "It's good that you work at a good company," are certified as "White Companies." Furthermore, we promote an environment where all working people can utilize their individuality and characteristics, realize a vibrant and creative way of working, and aim to create a society where "working" is enjoyable.
The Only "Comprehensive Evaluation Certification" in Japan
Through surveys of over 1,000 companies, 70 questions were created to promote corporate "whiteness." These questions are divided into 7 items, and the presence or absence of corporate initiatives is confirmed, and certification is granted.
The White Company Certification is not limited to a single initiative but comprehensively evaluates and judges human resource systems and corporate initiatives, and the organization that conducts this certification is the only one in Japan.
As of April 2026, a cumulative total of 663 companies have acquired certification.
