SUNITED Co., Ltd. Company Overview

We are pleased to announce that Kazuki Kimura, the art director of SUNITED Co., Ltd., has received the "Invitation Artist Award" at the "2026 23rd Busan International Design Festival" held in Busan, South Korea. **Introduction to the Busan International Design Festival** The Busan International Design Festival is an international design exhibition organized by the non-profit Busan International Design Festival and the Busan Design Association Federation. This year, under the theme "Healing the Sensibilities of Newlywed Families to Overcome Declining Birthrates," an exhibition of works by creators from both Japan and abroad was held at the Busan Metropolitan City Hall starting August 31, 2026. **About the Award-Winning Work** As a visual approach to the social issue of declining birthrates, a poster was created using trees as a motif. It depicts a family giving each other piggyback rides, reaching for new heights alongside heart-shaped balloons, with the copy "Together, we reach a higher love." This design conveys a warm and positive message addressing social issues through the power of design.

"Resolving security evaluations of business partners through 'standardization × operational support' goes beyond just implementing a solution tool; it also includes 'hands-on collection and management.'" SUNITED Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "SUNITED") will begin offering a supportive service called "SUNITED SCS Evaluation System Preparation Support Service" on August 17, 2026, which organizes and evaluates the security measures of its own company as well as those of its contractors and business partners, assisting from prioritizing issues to considering and promoting necessary measures. This service is aimed not only at companies that want to confirm the security measures of their contractors and business partners but also at those that are required to respond to security surveys from clients such as large corporations. Rather than merely providing responses to a uniform checklist or presenting evaluation results, the service organizes the impact on business, the current status of the company, and the importance, urgency, and execution difficulty of issues, supporting the formulation and execution of action plans tailored to the actual conditions of each company. For more details about the service, please check the service page and press release linked below.
