Message from CEO
Social challenges, such as climate change, are significant risks to corporate operations and crucial opportunities for growth and profitability. There has been increased focus on these issues as critical management priorities. QUICK recognized this trend early on and established QUICK ESG Research Center in 2014. We have been at the forefront of research in this field, expanding to provide non-financial information, including environmental and human capital data, alongside traditional financial information. We aim to collaborate with financial institutions and businesses to tackle social challenges effectively.
As a member of the Nikkei Group, QUICK is committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to transform information into value, contributing to the sustainable development of both the economy and society, and ultimately fostering a more prosperous world..

QUICK’s Sustainable Management
Basic Approach
Since its establishment in 1971, QUICK has been providing a wide range of data on stock prices of listed companies, long- and short-term interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and political and economic information of various countries. We have contributed to the development of the Japanese economy by making these data available to many market participants and companies.
Today, the negative impacts to the environment and society are becoming apparent behind the backdrop of economic development. Consequently, there is a global need for corporate action to resolve common issues such as extreme weather conditions, human rights issues, and deteriorating labor environments.
We established QUICK ESG Research Center in 2014 to conduct research and studies on ESG issues and sustainable investment. In 2020, we also became a signatory to the UN Global Compact (UNGC). Since then, we have been promoting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, respecting human rights, and combating corruption. Our mission is to support companies, organizations, and individuals around the world who are striving for sustainable business activities to solve sustainability issues by leveraging our information, data analysis, and distribution service platform that we have fostered.
Among various social issues, we have identified five material issues that we should address with priority.
Through initiatives based on these five material issues, QUICK is committed to working with stakeholders to promote sustainable economic and social growth.
