Awards and Recognition
On September 9th, the "Phase Free Award 2023" was announced to recognize efforts towards the realization of "Phase Free". The "YORiSOS" app, through which users could not only contact SECOM in case of emergency but also manage their daily health from their Apple Watch, was honored the Audience Award.
"Phase Free" is a concept about liberating household items and services from the phases (social conditions) of "always (in everyday life)" and "what if (in emergency situations)", regardless of the circumstances. The goal of the “Phase Free” approach is to enhance our quality of life by offering services that protect our wellbeing and lives.
SECOM embraces the "Phase Free" concept and remains committed to generating new value that enhances the "always" and "what if" situations.
The “SECOM Children's Safety DVD” teaching material has received the 17th Kids Design Award.
The Kids Design Award, sponsored by NPO Kids Design Council, is an award program that recognizes outstanding products, services, spaces, activities, and research that consider children and parenthood.
The “SECOM Children's Safety DVD” provides teaching material suitable for safety classes aimed at children in elementary school or younger. The contents have been meticulously curated to offer safety education for children, compiled into DVDs and instruction manuals to simplify the process of conducting safety classes for teachers. Kindergartens, primary schools, and other educational institutions can access these texts at no cost by applying on our website.
Going forward, SECOM will utilize its extensive safety expertise to contribute to the creation of a secure society where children can live safely and with peace of mind.
