■Amina's Award Comment
Thank you for choosing me as one of the first recipients in Japan of this historic French business award. I am also very happy that the focus was on the two co-founders, not just one CEO. The name "Business with Attitude" has also been well received by those around me as fitting fermata's initiatives! As the name of the award suggests, we will continue to work together as a team to transform "taboos into excitement" without forgetting our original intention, and we appreciate your continued support.
■Hiroko Nakamura's Award Comment
Thank you very much for this prestigious award. I am very happy to receive recommendations and comments from such respected individuals, and it makes me feel even more committed. We will continue to collaborate with individuals, companies, and society in various ways to deliver excitement as a team.
