Social and Environmental Activities
Promoting hiring persons with disabilities
The BOOKOFF Group established B-Assist, Inc. in October 2010 to promote the hiring of persons with disabilities. B-Assist was designated as a special subsidiary company in December 2010 under the Act on Employment Promotion etc. of Persons with Disabilities.
BOOKOFF intends to fulfill its social responsibility by creating environments where persons with disabilities can work with peace of mind, and by promoting the hiring of persons with disabilities. To achieve this, building on the concept of “employee training and development” that has been the driving force behind the BOOKOFF Group’s growth, we aim to create workplaces where everyone can continue to grow together while recognizing each individual’s unique capabilities.
