Personnel Strategy

In order to expand and grow the business, the AIFUL Group first redefined the core corporate philosophy and corporate culture as VMV (Vision / Mission / Value). In order to realize the VISION which is For Colorful Life. (For realizing a society where each person can play an active role), we are working to improve the corporate value of our company from the perspective of human resources side under the basic policy of our long-term personnel strategy as below.

  • To enable all employees to demonstrate their individuality, improve their abilities, and feel rewarding
  • By appropriately allocating labor costs, improve corporate competitiveness/ productivity and stabilize life of employees
  • To gain a competitive advantage by designing a flexible personnel system that can adapt to changes

For more information on the VISION / MISSION / VALUE, please refer to the Corporate Philosophy page.

Investment in intellectual property

The Company invests in intellectual property primarily in IT (software) assets and brands. We will continue to invest in IT assets over the medium to long term in order to improve our competitiveness. In particular, we will make accelerated investments in the DX field and build a system to respond to customer needs at a lower cost. Investing in the brand has long-term investment in building and fostering the AIFUL brand. We will continue to build our brand by investing more than a certain amount and implementing our VMVs (VISION / MISSION / VALUE).
