Since its launch in January 2017, Business Insider Japan has been conveying its message through content and events under the tagline "Better Capitalism: Let's create an economy where kindness circulates."
By spotlighting people and companies that are taking on "good initiatives," we hope to support a society where kindness prevails. This is the philosophy behind the "BEYOND MILLENNIALS" awards, which recognize individuals, and the "Beyond Sustainability" awards, which recognize companies and organizations. Through these two awards, we support pioneers who are working to combine business with social problem-solving, and we communicate current themes that need our attention and signs of the future, as we look to the world in the future
