Improving customer satisfaction
Our efforts for customer satisfaction (CS) are driven by the whole Mizuho Group, building on its customer- oriented approach.
Basic approach
Mizuho regards adhering to integrity—or, in other words, acting as a trusted partner by always upholding solid moral principles—as one of the values we pursue in realizing our stated purpose, which is to “Proactively innovate together with our clients for a prosperous and sustainable future.” We believe that garnering customers’ trust through our customer-oriented approach will lead to garnering trust from all of our stakeholders and this will underpin our sustainable growth.
Proactively making use of customer feedback
We earnestly address issues associated with customer dissatisfaction, customers' criticism, and other kinds of customer feedback and strive to quickly and appropriately respond by solving related problems. We consider such customer feedback to be an important management resource that facilitates our efforts to investigate and analyze the causes of problems, clarify the tasks that must be addressed, and implement the measures required to elevate the level of the entire group's management quality and improve the group's products and services going forward.
