Sustainability
Contributing to Society through Regional Revitalization
Concept
Amid an increase in urban centralization, we are aiming at revitalizing regional economies by correcting disparities between urban areas and rural areas. Utilizing open innovation, which includes ITFOR Group solutions, enables us to support industrial growth, while at the same time adopt initiatives aimed at educational inequality and job creation, etc., together with the people in the community.
Resolving local issues through business
ITFOR contributes to the sustainable growth of the region by solving the problems of local businesses, people, and society as a whole through its group-wide business activities.
Detailed Initiatives
Revitalization of local economies through support for cashless transactions
ITFOR provides our cashless payment platform, “iRITSpay,” to meet the needs of regional financial institutions, including local banks.
We go beyond simply providing payment terminals; by supporting the promotion of digitalized payments across entire regions, we contribute to the sustainable revitalization of local economies.
Strengthening Security Measures Through Cybersecurity Services
As cybersecurity measures are required of even small and medium-sized local businesses, ITFOR's cybersecurity services are provided in collaboration with local systems engineering firms.
By offering our security solution, “Ransom Guard,” and establishing community-based support systems, we contribute to securing a safe business environment and enhancing the resilience of IT infrastructure for regional enterprises.
Regional Revitalization Through Open Innovation
We are actively forging ahead with adopting not only our in-house technologies, but also new technologies developed by Group companies and other companies to support corporate business reforms by providing them to our customers. This will eventually result in the revitalization of regional areas.
