Japan Management Research Institute's Role in Promoting an Inclusive Society

On December 7, 2025, Japan Management Research Institute, LLC (JMRI), located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, was proudly announced as one of the first registered companies supporting the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s initiative for an inclusive society. This initiative focuses on promoting understanding and coexistence for those with disabilities, in line with the concept of ‘Business and Human Rights’ and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria. The commitment reflects a significant stride towards realizing the goals set out in the ‘2050 Tokyo Strategy’, particularly Strategy 9, which emphasizes the creation of a society where everyone can shine, regardless of their abilities.

As the nation grapples with the aftermath of various disasters, including earthquakes, floods, and acts of violence, the importance of promoting health and safety for all citizens has never been clearer. In light of these challenges, JMRI has extended its reach beyond business, engaging in social initiatives designed to uplift and support vulnerable communities.

JMRI is led by Director Tomonori Tomura, who personally understands the weight of mental health issues, having experienced panic disorder and depression himself. His journey has inspired several JMRI initiatives aimed at awareness and support, including:

1. Home Hospitalization Records - Focused on practical support and education regarding cancer, mental illnesses, and disabilities, JMRI provides resources that empower individuals and families facing these challenges. More information can be found here.

With their involvement in Tokyo’s initiative, JMRI is solidifying its role as a leader in the push for a more inclusive and compassionate society.
