As the progress of society based solely
on economic growth has reached
its limits,
the inherent wealth of human beings (“Well-Being”)
and the
nature of society to achieve this are being questioned.
“WE AT” aim to accumulate natural capital, human capital,
and social
capital, which form the basis of a well-being economy,
keeping in mind
the categories of the "Well-Being Framework"
proposed by the OECD.
We will support startup businesses and projects of companies
and research
institutions that contribute to accumulation.
Through this, we will realize multifaceted well-being
that goes beyond
human physical and mental health
to the realization of a society in which
diverse people coexist
and connect with each other,
and the
sustainable global environment
that is the foundation of that society.
