Introduction

In a major recognition of excellence in human capital management, Itsudatsu Co., Ltd., headquartered in Tokyo, has recently announced that they have assisted its partner company, Itsumo Co., Ltd., in achieving the highly sought-after "Human Capital Management Quality 2025 Gold" award. This award marks the second consecutive year that Itsumo has been recognized in this esteemed category, showcasing a commitment to elevating human capital practices within the organization. This impressive accomplishment not only highlights the effective strategies implemented but also positions both companies as leaders in the industry.

The Human Capital Survey 2025

The award results stem from the expansive "Human Capital Survey 2025" that has been organized by several prominent organizations, including the HR Technology Consortium, ProFuture Inc., and the Research Institute for Human Capital and Corporate Value. With participation from over 1,400 companies, this survey meticulously evaluates companies based on four core areas: the advancement of human capital management, execution of talent strategy-driven investments, a data-driven PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, and strategic disclosure alongside stakeholder dialogue. Companies excelling in these areas are recognized as "Human Capital Leaders" and commended for their commitment to transparency and innovation.

The Award Ceremony and Its Importance

The award ceremony highlighted the outstanding efforts put forth by participating companies, and Itsumo stood out as the only publicly listed company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Growth Market to receive the top-tier "Gold" award. This recognition not only reflects the internal strategies that have been implemented but also illustrates a broader trend in corporate responsibility towards enhancing human capital as a driver of business success.
