Saze Corporation Achieves Platinum Status in White Company Certification

In June 2025, Saze Corporation, an IT consulting and system development company headquartered in Chiyoda City, Tokyo, announced that it has been awarded the prestigious 'Platinum Rank' in the White Company certification program conducted by the Japan Next-Generation Company Promotion Organization, widely known as the White Foundation.

Understanding White Company Certification

The term 'White Company' goes beyond simply being a business that is not classified as a 'black company.' It represents organizations that receive support from their communities and families, aiming to be sustainable entities for future generations. The certification criterion includes three fundamental aspects: excellent internal governance, employee engagement, and a sustainable business model. This makes the White Foundation's certification unique as the only comprehensive corporate evaluation system in Japan.

Seven Criteria for White Company Certification

White Company certification is assessed based on seven indicators:
1. Business Model/Productivity
2. Flexible Working Styles
3. Health Management
4. Human Resource Development/Job Satisfaction
5. Diversity & Inclusion
6. Risk Management
7. Compliance with Labor Laws

The recent awarding of Platinum status to Saze Corporation was particularly influenced by three main factors that received high praise:
1. Rise in work-life balance through flexible working options and discouraging overtime.
2. Japan's performance-based approach and a transparent evaluation system, achieving the highest reward rates in the IT industry coupled with appropriate salary assessments.
3. Comprehensive benefits, including housing assistance, remote working compensation, company activities, employee trips, and retirement systems.

Saze’s Commitment to Future Growth

The vision of Saze Corporation as a White Company is crystal clear: to eliminate all employee dissatisfaction. Since its inception, the company has consistently experienced upward revenue growth, a result of its commitment to listening to employee feedback and implementing internal reforms annually. Recognizing that rules deemed appropriate in the past can become obsolete, Saze continually adapts its policies to align with current times.

Employees should feel proud to tell their family and friends, 'I’m happy working for this company'; this has been Saze's guiding principle since its founding.

A Message from CEO Yasuhiko Ito

Yasuhiko Ito, CEO of Saze Corporation, expresses, "We want to remain a company where 'working = fulfillment.' Let’s collaboratively create a company where employees can work until retirement."

The road to achieving Platinum status has involved a plethora of internal reforms, which are a commendable accomplishment for all employees. However, Ito emphasizes, this milestone is not the destination, but rather a commitment to continuously reform based on the evolving needs of employees to enhance their satisfaction. This philosophy underlines the very purpose of Saze as a company.

It is a core belief at Saze that employee satisfaction translates into improved service quality for customers, and this principle will guide the company into the future.

The White Foundation resonates with Saze Corporation's vision of holding the highest reward rates in the IT industry and sustaining employee-centric reforms.
