Mission

Mission is to bring people, information and services closer together.

LINE was conceived as a mobile messaging service shortly after the massive earthquake that devastated Japan on March 11, 2011.

After the tragedy, it became apparent that there was a fundamental need for a global communication tool that could strengthen human relationships. Just a few months later in June, they launched the LINE messaging app.

With this approach, LINE has grown into a social platform with hundreds of millions users worldwide, having a particularly strong focus in the rapidly advancing continent of Asia.

Rather than settle for globally standardized services based on a generic approach, company believe that it is essential to respect the culture and norm of each individual country in order to engage users on a very deep level and evolve in each region.

LINE call it culturalization and it’s at the heart of everything they do. In the world LINE strive to create, users will have seamless online and offline access to all the people, information and services they need in their daily lives – LINE is the gateway.

LINE Style

LINE is a company which dreams of the best services in the world, and boldly responds to any and all challenges along the way.

Every top service they dream of has one big thing in common: the WOW factor. They all create WOWs – meaning an unprecedented experience that’s so amazing that you just have to share it with friends.

LINE refused to put limits on its business domain, and instead looked to the broad needs of people and businesses across markets, again and again challenging itself in one promising field after another.

LINE Code

The "wows" LINE want to create cannot be achieved by simply being innovative. In order to keep taking on new challenges and develop and create new value, they must observe the rules of society at large, respect those around them, and conduct actions with transparency.

No matter how revolutionary it may be, new value cannot bring "wows" to the world if it is self-serving, if it comes at the expense of someone else’s grief, or if it is not accepted by society. By acknowledging, respecting and working hand-in-hand with the co-workers who sit next to them, the team, external partners, and the society at large, the value of that "wow" becomes something several times bigger.

There are three keywords they should bear in mind when they act. Company must maintain PRIDE—as LINE employees, as service providers, and as human beings— and earnestly strive to coexist in a mutually beneficial relationship with society through LINE services.
