Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. (NRI) was born out of the 1988 merger between the former Nomura Research Institute, Ltd., founded in 1965 as Japan's first fully-fledged private sector think tank, and Nomura Computer Systems Co., Ltd., which was established in 1966 and achieved the first business applications for commercial computers in Japan. NRI was listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2001, and celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding in April 2015.

NRI has achieved long-term growth in both net sales and profits despite some fluctuations due to economic trends. In April 2015, NRI launched Vision 2022, our new long-term management strategy, and we are striving for sustained growth over the medium and long term

The NRI Group's corporate philosophy consists of four pillars:

1. Mission

Discern new social paradigms and implement them.

Build customer trust and establish relationships for mutual growth.

2. Business engagements

Create an innovative society for the future

“Knowledge Creation and Integration”- Apply knowledge to create and integrate business solutions for customers

3. Management goals

Maximize corporate value through "Navigation X Solution."

4. Action guidelines

Challenge tirelessly with true professionalism

We refine our strengths and create value for our clients by providing a suite of industry-leading services, as well as continuing to innovate to assure the highest level of value as society and the global market develops. By providing various types of services to clients and to society, we support the creation of new future-minded business models.

“Value” comes from the realization of “truly meaningful innovations,” as well as the different sets of personal values held by the large number of people who helped realize it.

Through our main business activities of consulting and IT solutions, NRI will act based on our Corporate Philosophy of “Dream up the future” to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society. The concept of Creating Shared Value (CSV) has attracted significant attention in recent year. This concept has already been incorporated into our Corporate Philosophy. We have engaged in corporate management for creating value that can be shared with society.

In May 2017, NRI declared our participation in the UN Global Compact and has taken action in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, from the perspectives of management and external stakeholders, we have identified four material themes (Materiality) with a high degree of priority. We identified these themes based on international standards and guidelines such as GRI (G4), ISO 26000, the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), and the United States Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), as well as on the opinions of external experts.

NRI is proposing and implementing action plans for the resolution of Materiality. Furthermore, we are periodically evaluating the progress of these action plans and then revising the action plans and the Materiality itself.

Sustainability Management Structure

NRI established the Social Value Creation Committee and the Sustainability Activities Committee as a special appointment at the direction of the President & CEO to promote overall sustainability management. Both committees make proposals to Senior Management Committee and others.
