In recent years, from the perspective of ESG\/SDGs with a focus on sustainability, business corporations have increasingly been required to establish concrete management visions.
At the same time, we have received a growing number of requests for creative works related to the SDGs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Accordingly, under the corporate policy of \u201cstriving to create websites accessible to everyone without difficulty,\u201d our company has been holding in-house study sessions on Color Universal Design since 2021.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This time, leveraging our status as an authorized overseas examination organization of the Japan Color Certification Association, four members\u2014including two directors and two designers, some residing in Thailand\u2014have taken the qualification exam for the “Universal Color Advisor” certification.<\/p>\r\n
We are pleased to announce that all candidates have successfully passed the examination.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Moreover, one candidate achieved a perfect score and was awarded the Japan Color Certification Association Encouragement Award!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Going forward, we will continue to leverage our expertise and experience in web accessibility\u2014one of our company\u2019s strengths\u2014to provide designs that consider color vision diversity and are more accessible to a wider range of users.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It is estimated that in Japan, approximately 1 in 20 men and 1 in 500 women\u2014totaling around 3 million people\u2014have difficulty distinguishing certain color combinations.<\/p>\r\n
For such individuals, railway route maps that appear to be clearly color-coded, warning signs, and pilot lamps indicating power ON\/OFF may appear in similar colors, making them difficult to distinguish.<\/p>\r\n
This certification aims to realize a society where everyone involved with color possesses accurate knowledge of color vision diversity and can demonstrate consideration accordingly. Since 2019, the certification has been conducted across all prefectures in Japan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
