Welcome to Tokyo Zebras Unite, the local Chapter of the global Zebras Unite community! We’re glad that you’re here. And we look forward to meeting you.

Your Chapter plays a critical role in connecting and supporting members of the Zebras Unite community, representing the global movement at a local level and sharing local content, learnings, and programs with other Chapters around the world. Zebras Unite relies on each of its chapters to bring unique insights—and illuminate the most pressing challenges—thereby informing a global movement that benefits Zebras everywhere. 

What’s a Zebra?

Unlike unicorns, Zebras are real. Zebra companies are both black and white. They are profitable and improve society. They won’t sacrifice one for the other. Zebra organizations are also mutualistic. By banding together in groups, they protect and preserve one another. Their individual experience results in stronger collective outcomes.
