MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

President Message

G&L, Inc. specializes in comprehensively identifying each client’s uniqueness. We then examine ways to utilize this uniqueness as a tool, creating and maximizing corporate value. In other words, the only way to do this is to survive – to win – in the intense corporate playing field.

We consider all the options thoroughly, and without compromise, until we are sure we can succeed. It is this attitude that permeates everything we do and the secret to gaining unique know-how as our advantage. We believe this is the main reason why our clients choose us.

On the other hand, we always remain careful not to rely solely on this know-how. We consider the relevant data, theories and current trends whilst taking the know-how that we have cultivated into account. At the same time, we continuously work towards revising theories, keeping in mind future challenges, and we will continue to strive for success.

We have relationships with a diverse range of clients, from large corporations representing Japan to venture businesses with future potential. The majority of our clients have continued to renew their initial contracts with us as ongoing contracts. We believe that our philosophy of “Success” is linked directly to the “Value” of our clients.
