disabilities, and are developing them into a variety of businesses. Rather than providing support, we work as equal business partners, respecting the artist’s wishes while proceeding with the project, and building a system to pay them fair royalties. In addition to HERALBONY, a brand that uses art to bring about social change, we also have an account business that supports companies in promoting DE&I through the planning and production of products and spaces, creative production that accurately conveys initiatives, and employee training programs, as well as new “common sense”. We are developing a multifaceted business, including an art business that operates Morioka’s art gallery “HERALBONY GALLERY,” which takes on the challenge of achieving new goals. By delivering “distinctness” to society in various forms, we aim to change the image of “disability” and create a society where 8 billion people with unique
characteristics can live as they are. Company name: HERALBONY Co.,Ltd.
