The purpose of our business is to support people in choosing a way of life that is determined by themselves—not left to others—through their relationships with those around them.From leaving things up to others, to deciding for oneself.Guided by this purpose,our mission is to create and provide content that helps people remove the veil of what they take for granted and transform into a new version of themselves. To achieve this, we ourselves are committed to continuously challenging limitations by removing every kind of “cover” that restrains us.DIS+COVER — Removing the “cover”The very name of our company, Discover, embodies our mission.In fact, through the messages conveyed by our content, the ways those messages are expressed, and the forms of distribution we adopt, we have consistently challenged and put into practice new approaches that are not bound by the conventional norms of the publishing industry.That process itself constitutes the DISCOVER activities of each and every member of our staff.We use the term “DISCOVER activities” here because they are not limited solely to publishing. There are still many resources waiting to be discovered—around the world, and within ourselves.Through a wide range of DISCOVER-driven initiatives, we strive to create networks that generate new value together with our customers. Contributing to society in this way is both our joy and our pride.
