KOTORA's People Fact Book 2025: Transforming Human Capital Reporting

KOTORA Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has officially released its 2025 edition of the "People Fact Book," a comprehensive human capital report aligned with the international standard ISO 30414:2025. Since its inaugural publication in 2021, this marks the fifth edition of the report, showcasing both quantitative and qualitative data regarding the company's human capital. The report is aimed at enhancing transparency in management practices, a vital aspect in today’s dynamic corporate environment.

The Importance of Human Capital Management

In recent years, the management of human capital has emerged as a core element for creating corporate value. It has garnered attention from both capital and labor markets as a key driver of competitive advantage. As uncertainties in the corporate ecosystem increase, stakeholders demand strategic investments and transparent disclosures in human capital to secure a sustainable competitive edge.

KOTORA has leveraged its extensive expertise in recruiting high-class professionals and human capital consulting to systematically organize data related to its human capital initiatives. This report visually represents KOTORA's philosophy and outcomes related to human capital management, producing an insightful tool for stakeholders.

Highlights of the 2025 People Fact Book

1. Alignment with Latest Standards: The 2025 edition adapts quickly to the international benchmark set by ISO 30414:2025, often referred to as “Version 2.” This report includes new metrics that comply with the 14 mandatory indicators and 69 recommended indicators outlined by the standard, covering a broad spectrum of areas including workforce, diversity, recruitment, training, engagement, health and safety, costs, productivity, compensation, and compliance.

2. Linking Business and Talent Strategies: One significant improvement in this year’s report is the elaboration on connecting business and talent strategies. It integrates insights gleaned from the Cabinet Secretariat and the newly released “Human Capital Visualization Guidelines (Revised Edition).” Furthermore, recent trends from ISSB and SSBJ have also been considered to reinforce this aspect, clarifying how KOTORA's business model intertwines with its talent strategy to enhance corporate value.
