Meet Me! Sawako Chiba 

‘Made in Japan’ stands for quality and technical know-how. Superior quality is also the keyword for success in the Japanese paper & board sector, where Stora Enso has established itself as a key supplier for liquid packaging boards. Sawako Chiba, Accounts Assistant, Stora Enso Japan, tells about her job.

What do you like most in your job?
Accounting is the language for describing business activities. Reading data is exciting, just like reading a good novel. Recording and reporting is a challenging job because we make decisions, evaluate our own activities and make future plans based on it.
 
What does customer focus mean to you?
I am trying to remotely help the customers to make right decisions by recording accurate and complete data and by issuing as much useful information as I can in a timely manner.

What is best in Tokyo?
I would say the food. You can try a wide variety of different cuisines at a relatively reasonable price. My favourites are Yakiniku (grilled beef) and traditional Sushi dishes. But I also enjoy Italian and Cambodian food. You can try them all in Tokyo, where everything is made with fresh ingredients.
