Unipos and Nikkei BP form a business partnership in the human capital management field
Nikkei BP Co., Ltd. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo)
and Unipos Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) have entered into a business partnership regarding human capital management consulting for companies. Nikkei BP, which publishes cutting-edge and specialized media in a wide range of fields such as management, technology, and daily life, and also develops strategic planning support solutions for companies, and Nikkei BP, a web service that brings out the action potential of people and organizations and changes culture. Unipos, which has provided practical solutions such as “Unipos” and human capital management workshops, has teamed up to strongly support companies in resolving their “human capital management” issues.
In order to put human capital management into practice, it is necessary to formulate specific measures such as goals, policies, organizational and cultural reforms, and human resource development, and to formulate KPIs to achieve them. It is necessary to disclose the content and results to the outside world. However, in reality, we often hear comments like “I don’t know how to do it” and “I want professional knowledge.” In addition to disclosing information on human capital to investors and other stakeholders, it is necessary to create a system that actually supports each company’s human capital management efforts.
Unipos, led by CEO Gen Tanaka, identifies issues related to corporate human capital management based on the knowledge gained by reading the human capital disclosures of more than 5,000 companies from January 2023 to the present. We provide consulting services that propose organizational reforms for improvement. We are a one-stop service that links management strategy and human resources strategy and
appropriately delivers them to stakeholders through human capital disclosure, and we have a proven track record mainly at prime listed companies.
On the other hand, Nikkei BP has organized a comprehensive research institute staffed by researchers who have acquired skills in content production and information dissemination through its media business, and has been engaged in research and consulting businesses. Through these activities, we have a track record of planning and producing numerous integrated reports and human capital reports, and have know-how in areas such as ESG consulting.We also provide services such as research and training that leverage our knowledge and connections.

By leveraging the respective strengths of the Research Institute’s report writing know-how and communication capabilities, we can provide total support for corporate human capital management, from consulting on organizational reform and human resource development to realizing information disclosure regarding these initiatives. With this in mind, we have come to this business partnership. In the future, we will focus on supporting companies that are struggling with human capital management and human capital disclosure, and contribute to
accelerating the speed of social change and creating an era of revitalization of Japanese companies through the power of people.

Since its establishment in 1969, Nikkei BP has published cutting-edge and specialized media in a wide range of fields including management, technology, and lifestyle.

Comment from Gen Tanaka, President and CEO of Unipos Co., Ltd. I am very happy and humbled by this business partnership. From January 2023 to the present, I have read the human capital disclosures of more than 5,000 companies and have acquired unique knowledge in human capital management. As a result, I feel a great sense of crisis that the level of disclosure is still low. Identifying your company’s issues, how to solve them using people’s power, and achieving the realization of your business plan…We are promoting human capital disclosure, which is the essential practice of human capital management and communication with the world, throughout Japan. We will work harder than ever to push it to a higher level.
