Social Contribution Activities and SDGs

DIGITAL HOLDINGS contributes to realizing a sustainable society by supporting corporate digital shift.

Corporate digital shift is indispensable for Japan’s sustained development

Digital shift is now the biggest business challenge for all Japanese companies, regardless of their size, industry, or location. It has become the theme that Japanese companies must focus on most at present in order to achieve sustainable growth momentum for the future.

In this context, DIGITAL HOLDINGS contributes to the sustainable development of the Japanese economy and society by providing a broad range of support to promote Japanese companies’ digital shift, from marketing support to business strategy formulation, business creation, human resource development and utilization, and product and service development, based on the knowledge and insight into digital technology it has fostered over many years.

Social contribution activities and relevant SDGs

In addition to developing human resources specializing in digital technology in areas such as marketing and AI, we solve companies’ lack of digital human resources through the construction of platforms for dispatching and sharing digital human resources.
We contribute to the sustained growth of Japanese companies and the development of Japanese society, supporting corporate activities with marketing that utilizes digital technology.
We enhance the efficiency of existing industries, invest in new services and technologies that enrich society and support growth.
Through our operation of Digital Shift Times, we supply information providing courage and hope to managers and leaders promoting corporate digital shift.
