企業経緯
Corporate Background

現在、様々な災害、疾病、紛争など地域・世界を広く巻き込む多くの解決すべき課題によって、私たちが暮らす社会はとても不安定で予測困難な時代に突入しています。
深刻な地球規模の危機的状況を目のあたりにし、これからの時代における政府、団体、企業を含めた全ての非営利・営利組織には、「未来のあるべき姿」に向けた在り方そのものが大きく問われ始めています。特に、長期間の資本主義における営利原則の追求によって、健康と安全の確保に関する社会的弱者への支援は、その多くが未だ立ち遅れているのが現状です。
したがって、これからのSociety5.0時代を生きる全ての企業は、人々の心身ともに豊かな生活と誰一人取り残さない持続可能な社会の両者を実現するために、改めて企業倫理の観点からその社会的責任とあるべき姿を見直し、持てるリソースの多くを包摂的な社会貢献のために活用することが重要だと考えます。中でも、女性の出産に伴う危機管理への支援については、人口減少に喘ぐ日本に限らず、アジア・アフリカなどの人口増加地域においても早急な解決が望まれる重大な社会課題の一つとなっています。かかる課題の解決に向けて、私たちが教育研究機関として最先端のICT技術により構築した妊産婦緊急搬送補助システム「iPiccs®(アイピクス)」は、SDGs推進研究大学である岡山大学が現在取り組んでいるダイバーシティ&インクルージョン(D&I)活動の医療における新たな展開として、広く地域・世界に発信すべきイノベーションであるといえます。
このたび私たちは、「iPiccs®(アイピクス)」を始めとするICTを活用した各種サポートシステムをもっと広く地域・世界に普及させ、一人でも多くの皆さまに安心と健康を届けるべく、岡山大学発ベンチャーとしてそなえ株式会社((株)sonae)を創業することになりました。これからも私たちは、先人達から受け継ぐ慈愛に満ちた医の精神と大学ならではの革新的創発力を発展させ、STI(Science, Technology, Innovation) for SDGsを通じた新たな価値創造に取り組み、皆さまのウェルビーイングの向上に貢献してまいります。

Today, the society we live in has entered an era of great instability and unpredictability due to various disasters, diseases, conflicts, and other issues that need to be resolved through the involvement of the local community and the world at large.
In the face of these changing times, all nonprofit and for-profit organizations, including governments, associations, and corporations, are beginning to be asked to consider what their role should be in the future. In particular, due to the pursuit of profit-making principles of capitalism over an extended period of time, many companies and governments are still lagging behind in their support for the socially vulnerable in terms of ensuring their health and safety.
Therefore, we believe it is important for all companies living in the upcoming Society 5.0 era to reevaluate their social responsibilities and what their role should be from the perspective of corporate ethics. Companies should strive to utilize as many of their resources as possible for inclusive social contributions in order to realize a society in which people can enjoy a rich life, both physically and mentally, and a sustainable society in which no one is left behind. We believe it is important to utilize the resources we have to make an inclusive social contribution. In particular, support for women's crisis management during childbirth is one of the most critical social issues that requires urgent solutions not only in Japan, where the population is declining, but also in Asia, Africa, and other regions with growing populations. In order to help solve this issue, we, as an educational and research institute, have developed an emergency maternal transport assistance system known as "iPiccs®" which uses state-of-the-art ICT technology. It is a new development in the medical field of diversity and inclusion (D&I) activities that Okayama University, a research university promoting SDGs, is currently undertaking. We believe that “iPiccs®" is an innovation that should be widely available to the local community and the world as a new development in the field of healthcare.
We have decided to establish Sonae Corporation (sonae Co., Ltd.) as a venture company, originating from Okayama University, in order to help spread the use of iPiccs® and other ICT-based support systems more widely throughout the region and the world, and to bring peace of mind and health to as many people as possible. We will continue to work with our predecessors to develop new products and services that will help people to live healthier lives. We will also continue to develop the spirit of compassionate medicine inherited from our predecessors and the innovative power of Okayama University to create new ideas through STI (Science, Technology, Innovation) for SDGs, and to contribute to the improvement of society’s well being.

SDGsが掲げるゴール・ターゲットにおいて、特に以下の2項「Goal 3.d:すべての国々、特に開発途上国の国家・世界規模な健康リスクの早期警告、リスク緩和およびリスク管理のための能力を強化する。」「Goal 9.1:質が高く信頼できる持続可能かつレジリエントな地域・越境インフラなどのインフラを開発し、すべての人々の安価なアクセスに重点を置いた経済発展と人間の福祉を支援する。」の達成にむけ全力で取り組みたいと考えます。
臨床の現場や、生活していく上で必要な革新的システムを生み出しつつ、本邦の誇るべき周産期医療や長寿大国のノウハウを、世界各国へ大学発ベンチャーとして発信していきたいと考えます。

We strive to do our utmost to achieve the targets set forth by the SDGs, particularly the following 2 goals - “Goal 3.d : Strengthen the capacity of all countries, especially developing countries, for early warning, risk mitigation and risk management of national and global health risks.” and “Goal 9.1: Develop high quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transboundary infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with an emphasis on affordable access for all.”
