SANPO YOSHI
At DCUK, we align our behaviours with our values by grounding everything we do in the Japanese business philosophy of Sanpo Yoshi, or three-way good: Good for buyer, good for seller, good for society. It is a key differentiating philosophy for us, and you’d be instrumental in ensuring it is top of mind throughout the strategic process.
Everything we do is measured/calibrated against this ‘triple outcome’ definition of success. It applies equally to internal initiatives as it does external client work. From inclusive representation in our clients’ communications to the carbon expended in the production process and media purchasing we are constantly looking at ways to maximise effect whilst minimising our environmental impact.
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
We’re proud to be different and that starts with our people. We believe in equal opportunities for everyone. We won’t define people by their race, gender, sexual-orientation, age or disability. Individuality is what makes us great, we want everyone to bring their full self to work and create something amazing. That’s what we care about. So, whether you’re joining us, or looking to move to a different part of the business, we work hard to make sure we create equal opportunities for all.
We are happy to discuss flexible and agile approaches to working for all our roles – we can’t promise we will be able to offer you everything you want or need but we do promise to discuss it with you openly and honestly. If you have any reasonable adjustment needs arising from a disability or medical condition to fully participate in the recruitment process, please discuss this with our recruitment teams.
