Net Protections Receives 'Employee Success Award'

In a remarkable achievement, Net Protections, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, was awarded the 'Employee Success Award' at the 2025 Sustainability Growth Company Awards, hosted by Funai Consulting Holdings. The award ceremony saw the attendance of Net Protections' CEO, Shin Shibata, who received the accolade on behalf of the company.

The Sustainability Growth Company Awards aim to honor enterprises that not only achieve sustainable growth but also positively impact their local communities, industries, and society at large. Among roughly 12,000 companies considered for the awards, only 50 were nominated, with the final selection resulting in just 14 awardees.

High Recognition for Employee Engagement

Net Protections' recognition stems from its impressive organizational engagement metric, the SANBŌ score, which stands at an exceptional 89.2. This high score is a testament to the company’s efforts in fostering a work environment that encourages challenges through effective recruitment strategies, the establishment of new businesses initiated by younger employees, and an inclusive growth model characterized by a 360-degree evaluation system.

These strategic initiatives have enabled Net Protections to simultaneously enhance employee satisfaction and growth while ensuring the sustainable development of the business itself.

Innovation in the Payment Sector

As a pioneer in Japan's 'Buy Now Pay Later' (BNPL) market, Net Protections has consistently provided a secure and reliable payment infrastructure. Currently, the organization is not only focusing on strengthening its domestic operations but is also expanding into Asian markets, setting its sights on sustainable global growth backed by a stable financial foundation.

Moving forward, the company is committed to its vision of 'Creating the Next Norm,' focusing on creating a work environment where each employee can proactively take on challenges. Net Protections aims to grow alongside society by fostering individual empowerment and innovation.
