栄 “flourishing” or “prosperity”

This term can be used to describe both people and companies. It emphasises the importance of both personal and collective growth. 

It also reflects the Japanese respect for hard work and perseverance, and the acknowledgement that long-term dedication to one’s goals can bring steady and lasting success.
