Net Protections Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shin Shibata; “Net Protections”) is pleased to announce that it has received the “Benchmark Innovator” at the ZeroDX Award 2025—an international accolade honoring companies that exemplify breakthrough innovation in organizational management.
About "ZeroDX Award 2025"
The “ZeroDX Award 2025” recognizes companies that drive organizational innovation under the concept of eliminating barriers between employees, operations, and customers. The award is organized by influential institutions, including:
Haier, a global home appliance company leading the market for 15 consecutive years,
MLab, a consulting firm specializing in organizational transformation, and
the Business Ecosystem Alliance, an initiative led by Thinkers50, which globally identifies and promotes business leaders. Now in its 9th year, the award honors companies from around the world that have passed a rigorous evaluation process and demonstrated excellence in organizational design.
The award celebrates companies that embody Haier’s management philosophy of “RenDanHeYi”—a model in which each employee acts autonomously , like an entrepreneur, and their decisions are directly linked to the creation of user value.
As a model that challenges bureaucracy and hierarchy, the award has drawn the attention from researchers in Europe and has been conferred on leading-edge companies around the globe.
Why Net Protections was awarded
Net Protections operates on the principles of a Teal organization, minimizing hierarchical control to create an environment where employees can make autonomous decisions.
This organizational model enables projects to move from ideation to execution under frontline leadership, ensuring business initiatives are driven with ownership and agility rather than waiting for top-down instructions.
In service development as well, our employees directly engage with user feedback, fostering a culture of rapid iteration and continuous improvement. These practices were highly commended by the award committee.
