Digital Garage’s purpose is “Designing ‘New Context’ for a sustainable society with technology.”
Sustainability initiatives are expected to become more important considering the evolution of technology and the values of global society in response to the emergence of new social issues. The DG Group will enhance its sustainability management by incorporating "Environment," "Social," and "Governance" perspectives.
Since our founding, we have supported the growth of various sectors of the Japanese Internet, including payments, Internet media, advertising, and startup incubation. We believe that to create a better society, it is crucial to collaborate not only with our employees who are willing to "contribute to society" and with our shareholders and investors but also with our stakeholders, including our investment partners, alliance partners, business partners, and local communities.
As a Japanese technology company, we will continue to create the context for the next generation, always considering the global-scale changes and challenges we currently face, such as global warming, increasing natural disasters, and conflicts among nations and ethnic groups.
