What is White Company Certification? Is he a suspicious person? [Certified]

Hello, this is Sakashita from the management department.

The other day, Beyond received White Company Certification

“What is certified as a white company?” “Is it the exact opposite of a black company?”

“What does it mean to be a white company even though it is a small and medium-sized company?”

Isn't it a suspicious company when words like this appear? I'm sure there are some people who doubt this, so

Let me introduce you briefly!

What is White Company Certification?

White Company Certification is the only certification system in Japan that ``comprehensively evaluates the whiteness of companies'' sponsored by the White Foundation.

We are not a ``non-black company'' as people say, but

White companies are companies that you would like to leave behind for the next generation and that you would encourage your family to join

Specifically, companies that have all three elements are certified as "white companies."

A company that runs an excellent business that can continue to operate in a sound manner over the long term

A company that practices excellent internal governance so that employees can continue to work with peace of mind.

A company that maintains high employee engagement

7 indicators for becoming a white company

In order to obtain White Company Certification, there are 70 questions that must be addressed in whitening your company.

These 70 questions are divided into 7 items and judged and evaluated comprehensively.

Business model/productivity

The business conducted in-house is highly safe and stable and can be sustained over a long period of time.
Additionally, the company is actively implementing measures to improve productivity to further promote its business.

Diversity & Inclusion

We aim to be a company where all employees can make use of their own characteristics, individuality, and experience, and support the success of diverse human resources.

Work-life balance

In order to achieve a work-life balance for all employees, we are supporting the realization of careers by introducing flexible working arrangements that are not tied to work location, time, or life stage.

health management

Recognizing employee health as an important management resource, we are implementing measures to link individual health improvement to improved corporate performance.

Human resource development/job satisfaction

We view the relationship between employees and the company as equals, and work to help both parties grow in the same direction, strengthening our organizational strength.

risk management

We take measures in advance to deal with risks that become obstacles to business operations and the impact of risks, to avoid crises, and to minimize losses in the event of a crisis.

Labor law compliance

We correctly understand and comply with labor laws so that our employees can work safely and with peace of mind and our corporate activities run smoothly.

Here are the ranking results from our first review!

In terms of rank, there is still a long way to go, but

This made me realize that there are still many improvements that can be made to create a better working environment for employees.

I am thinking of working more proactively than I am now!

summary

White Company Certification is not based on company size, but is evaluated based on the company's philosophy and company initiatives.

We are very happy to be recognized as a company that we want to pass on to the next generation.

 

When choosing a company for job hunting,

Many people may think, "Big companies have generous welfare benefits, but small and medium-sized companies..."

There are many small and medium-sized enterprises that are actively implementing internal reforms such as welfare benefits and work style reforms!

If you are job hunting, please check out these initiatives when choosing a company.

 

We will continue to create an environment that is easier for employees to work in, and so that new employees can work with peace of mind.

At Beyond Co., Ltd., we will actively work on this!
