In accordance yo out management philosophy “Bringing happiness to all the people who share a connection”,
we hope to combat the declining number of
birth and marriages in Japan and create a sustainable society
To “Bringing happiness to all the people who share a connection”, we have created a new platform of marriage activities with a mix of IT and human interactions
Before IBJ was founded, the term “marriage activity” was not yet widely known in the “marriage activity” market, and many unmarried people had an image of marriage agencies as “difficult to enter” and “expensive,” and there were no services that anyone could trust and use easily.
Under these circumstances, Bridal Net, Japan’s first marriage activity site, was launched to respond to the earnest desire of people who wanted to get married.
With its excellent IT-based information matching function and customer support based on meddling, we have realized a service that anyone can use easily and reasonably, and by meeting the needs of many people, we have contributed to solving the social problem of the declining birthrate and aging society as a result.
With the management philosophy of “making everyone with whom we have a relationship happy,” we will continue to develop our business with the aim of creating a future in which the “unmarried and declining birthrate” is resolved by responding to the needs of the market.

Strive to popularize and expand healthy and safe meeting
places.
Responding to changing needs from the customer’s
perspective and pursuing an ideal society
While marriage hunting is becoming a familiar service for many
people, the competitive environment is intensifying as the
marriage hunting market is refined and services that meet
customer needs are carefully selected due to the harsh eyes of
customers with high IT literacy. IBJ wants to revitalize and
drive the marriage hunting market by capturing customer needs
more than ever and providing more added value.
Looking at
the long term, we can expect the arrival of a “society that
recognizes diverse values and views of marriage from a broad
perspective.”
IBJ will accept the new concepts and
diversity that arise from these social changes and contribute to
the formation of a future society through its business.
In
addition, as a market leader, we believe that it is our
responsibility as a market leader to control the market, which
becomes more complex as the market grows and matures, like
dealing with problems such as fraudulent use and maintaining the
soundness of the market.
Sustainable growth and Source of value creation.
Emphasizing
communication based on trust between ‘Human resources’ and ‘Organization’
We believe that the foundations that support the sustainable
growth of a business are the ‘Human resources’ who have the
qualities suitable for the business and the ‘Organization’ that
exerts their strengths.
The marriage hunting business is a job
that involves a major turning point in life. For this reason,
the results of building relationships of trust with customers
and creating married couples are of utmost importance. IBJ
employees will be able to fulfill their mission of creating
marriage, as a result of the employees who are in charge of
services accurately grasping the expectations of customers and
continuing to provide added value that exceeds expectations,
which will gradually strengthen their trust. On the other hand,
we are looking for human resources who can sympathize and
consider the feelings of others.
In addition, due to these
business characteristics, the organization attaches great
importance to the mutual connection between employees, and
strives to create a culture and work environment where employees
can communicate with each other.
We also use the guideline for
effectiveness evaluation as “whether one can sympathize with the
company’s philosophy and act based on it”, and we are also
working to improve the education system so that each employee
can carry out this.
Solving social issues through Business.
Aiming to contribute to a sustainable society and
organizational strength from an ESG perspective
The world that is looking to build sustainable society has
adopted SDGs as a common goal and there is an increased momentum
for creating a sustainable society, such as increased ESG investment
that evaluates companies based on ‘environment, society, and governance’.
IBJ is also working to strengthen its management base
from the perspective of ESG, aiming for steady growth over the
long term.
In governance, we will promote the creation of
a resilient system suitable for industry-leading companies, such
as transparency of decision making and strengthening of risk
management.
In terms of the environment, we are striving for
environmentally friendly business operations such as promoting
energy conservation and considering green procurement, and
promoting corporate activities in harmony with the environment.
We aim to contribute to the ‘Healthy global environment of the
next generation’.
For all the Stakeholders
Corona made us introduce services such as ‘online matchmaking’,
which overturns the common notion of marriage hunting that
matchmaking happens face to face and these services have grown
significantly.
I feel that this is an example of IBJ’s uniqueness
that accurately embodies the needs of our customers. It was a result of the on-site staff quickly grasping the new needs of customers,
and I realized once again, the importance of continuing to respond
from the customer’s perspective and staying firm with them.
We will continue to grow together with you, looking forward at
customers and society and responding to their requests.
We look forward to your continued support.
