Funai Soken Supply Chain Consulting's New Mission Statement

Funai Soken Supply Chain Consulting, based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has made noteworthy changes to its corporate mission, now emphasizing a comprehensive approach to supply chain optimization. The updated mission, effective from April 30, 2026, is ‘To provide answers for everything in the supply chain.’ This marks a significant shift from merely focusing on logistics efficiency to a broader objective of enhancing sustainable growth for both society and enterprises through the optimization of the entire supply chain.

A New Commitment to Supply Chain Excellence

The company previously known as Funai Soken Logistics, has redefined its core mission after a name change in January 2026. The mission reflects a desire to support sustainable growth by delivering timely and principled solutions to all businesses forming the supply chain. Funai Soken SC aims not only to propose strategies and tactics but also to accompany clients in executing these strategies, demonstrating a deep commitment to achieving results. This dedication is seen as a key part of their organizational DNA.

The company's focus extends to creating and disseminating advanced models of resilient and waste-free supply chains, contributing to Japan's competitiveness and national strength.

The Background of the Mission Update

In light of recent challenges within the logistics sector, including labor shortages and the evolving paradigms of ESG management and digital transformation, it has become crucial to view logistics as an integral part of corporate strategy rather than a standalone function. Funai Soken SC has recognized this shift, expanding its service offerings to encompass the entire supply chain in response to these environmental changes and the so-called ‘Logistics 2026 Problem.’

With the growth of demands on the supply chain, the mission update articulates the company's renewed value proposition and direction, inheriting the spirit that has defined its operations since inception.

Core Services Supporting Sustainable Growth

As part of the updated mission, Funai Soken SC will provide optimal solutions to promote sustainable growth for both shippers and logistics companies through three primary service pillars:

1. Consulting for Logistics Company Management
- This service addresses a spectrum of issues for logistics companies, including business performance enhancement, recruitment, negotiation with shippers, and support for digital transformation.
