a sustainable world
with the power of
data science
Toward a world appreciating all sustainabilities
Mission
We create a sustainable world by the power of data science.
We are living in an age of unpredictable, rapid changes. Capitalism has developed the world by pursuing "strength", economic efficiency. Meanwhile, created "distortions" such as climate change, pandemics, and wealth bias.
Nowadays, what we need is a "strong and gentle" world, combining economic efficiency, with environmental and social performance. To light up the "strong and gentle" companies with convincing solutions supported by data science.
And this is our mission as a group gathered by non-financial data experts.
