RESEARCH STRUCTURE

ASICS Institute of Sport Science (ISS) conducts a wide variety of research, analysing of human form and movement. Additional research and development programs are undertaken in support of production processing technology, products and materials.

SUSTAINABILITY - The ASICS Group is committed to reducing its environmental impact by implementing an environmental management system. Many Group members are ISO 14001 certified.

GLOBALIZATION & INNOVATION- ISS conducts global activities to collaborative research with overseas companies and universities, presentations at international conferences, and paper submissions. ISS is also committed to active interaction with different industries and fields to generate a wider reach.

SERVICES - The Institute conducts R&D not only on products, but also on various service systems, including running clinics, such as 3D Foot Scan and MY ASICS.
