Philosophy / Responsibility

We are a company that continually seeks to discover the value underlying yet untapped and continuously strives to create new value

We, at the WDB Group, would like to be a company that continues to lead in the discovery of hidden value and add new value by shedding light there.

In the past, we have been among the first to enter the field of scientific research and have opened up new markets. For people who are particular about their type of work and find it difficult to work under Japanese employment practices, and for people who have restrictions on working conditions and cannot cope with existing work styles, and are unable to participate in society.
By providing training opportunities to encourage skill improvement and providing workplaces, we have "discovered hidden value and created new value." It is the embodiment of our philosophy in the human resources service industry.

Furthermore, by using the know-how we have cultivated over the years to solve the dissatisfaction and inconvenience that we experience when dealing with various services, we hope to improve our corporate value and contribute to the industry.

Also, in the CRO industry, we acquired ICO Co., Ltd., which was a pioneer in the industry, by breaking down safety information management operations, we made ICO reborn as a company that provides high-quality services at low prices.Renamed as WDB Coco, the company went public eight years after the acquisition.
Compared to the time of the acquisition, we grew the company by approximately 20 times in sales and net assets, by approximately 50 times in its corporate value at the end of FY2022. Here again, we are creating a new value.

"Creating new value" means disrupting old business models, and starting a new business model from scratch with wholly fresh eyes.Now we are in the age that Internet and smartphones change everything, living with AI is required, we will create services that deliver optimal information to those who need it in the shortest possible time at reasonable prices.
We aspire to create new value so that when a new service is released to the world, people would be impressed how the existing service is transformed and reborn in such a way.

The responsibilities that we at the WDB Group should fulfill

Our vision for our customers

Guaranteed work results / Added value plan

In human resource business, we conduct our business on the premise that rather than simply provide a guaranteed labor force we prefer to warrant the outcome of work and guarantee the results of our labors. While it cannot be denied that the quality of workmanship between individuals may vary, our company argues not only to maintain but also to improve on the quality of our services and products with rigor.
