\u25a0Background of the Corporate Value Revision<\/strong><\/p>\n Founded on March 7, 2017, Standage's mission is to "enrich all regions of the world through the creation of innovative businesses," and its vision is to realize a world where "all countries have equal access to all things." Standage is working to provide trade innovation-related systems and services, including the development of a trade settlement system utilizing blockchain and stablecoins.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2022, the company expanded its business by launching a service that provides comprehensive support for export entry to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that were not yet engaged in trade, by combining trading company functions with trade DX (digital transformation) systems. Furthermore, in October 2023, it officially launched "DigiTrad Forwarding," an online system that allows for the instant comparison and acquisition of simplified international logistics cost estimates online.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Furthermore, regarding the trade settlement system that we have been working on since our founding, the revised Payment Services Act came into effect in June 2023, making Japan the first country in the world to define stablecoins and enabling trust banks and other institutions to issue domestically produced stablecoins. Currently, we are strengthening our collaboration with financial institutions and Web3-related companies, and are working towards creating the world's first use case by utilizing a system for the simultaneous exchange of "payment (stablecoins)" and "goods (NFT-enabled electronic bills of lading)" in trade.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In anticipation of further business expansion from fiscal year 2024 onward, and to strengthen our organizational capabilities by uniting our more than 50 employees, we have revised our corporate values.<\/p>\n Furthermore, we are focusing on acquiring and increasing the number of professional talent, including engineers and domestic and international sales personnel. With this revision of our corporate values, we hope to attract talent that better matches our corporate culture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Standage will continue to work towards realizing its mission and vision by developing and providing various DX systems and solutions centered on trade.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u25a0 New Corporate Values (Value Standards and Code of Conduct)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <STANDAGE 7 Values><\/strong><\/p>\n Be the First Penguins.
