〜 Greetings From Our President 〜
The founding principles of our company are illustrated by our name. The company title was created from the philosophy that, in essence, everyone's spirit, or Esprit, is connected and they form a line…The Espritline.
This means that in addition to the diversity and individuality that everyone and everything has, there is a common bond between us. That there is no real separation; all walls are illusions. These apparent divisions are personal challenges for us to overcome. We overcome them by understanding and accepting the differences, therefore acknowledging the similarities we all have.
From this basic concept, the mission of Espritline Inc. is to help bridge the gap between our differences. By experiencing new cultures, learning about different countries, meeting new people, and breaking down any other barriers that isolate us we can open our hearts and realize our dreams.
Currently, we are heavily focused between Japan and the United States though we have expanded our curriculum and support to include Korea, China, and France. We have developed and expanded the sales of our original program called “Speed Learning” since 1989 and the total number of the customers are 870,000 as of the year of 2008 and its sales are still growing. But this has only been the first step. In addition to improving the products and services we now offer, we are creating more ways to bridge the gap. One of these steps is sharing the experiences, opinions and talents of our increasingly diverse group of new employees and associates. We want the new employees and associates to help us create new projects that continue to promote a better understanding between people. Finding new and better ways for us to work together is as important as the projects we are working on for our customers.
To believe people. To respect people.
To love people. That is our dream.
