Sony
1) Rakuten made English its official language to facilitate information sharing across its growing global operations in nine countries and 30+ nationalities.
2) Having English as the official language also supports Rakuten's plans for further global expansion into 27 countries with 70% of sales coming from abroad, requiring employees to communicate in English.
3) Adopting English aims to secure top talent globally to compete with companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple, as limiting the language to Japanese would reduce the available talent pool.
Raku
Rakuten is making English its official corporate language to facilitate information sharing across its global operations in 9 countries, to prepare domestic employees for future overseas expansion planned for 27 countries, and to attract top talent globally to compete with companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple. Employees are evaluated based on their TOEIC English test scores and can face pay cuts or placement in a "red zone" if they do not meet targets. Rakuten provides extensive English learning support through classes, e-learning, and study abroad programs to help employees improve their skills.
Rakuten
Rakuten began requiring the use of English for all internal communications and documents in 2010. The company president announced this change to emphasize the importance of using English as the official language of the company. Now in 2014, Rakuten employees are required to achieve certain scores on the TOEIC English test for promotion. Failure to meet the TOEIC score requirements could result in demotion, salary reduction, or retirement. The president reports that most internal meetings are now conducted in English, and executive employees have achieved average TOEIC scores over 800. However, some critics question if employees will maintain this commitment long-term since English proficiency is less critical for Rakuten than other global companies.

This is expected to reduce coal consumption for power generation in the US by 2-4% per year over the next few years. One example given is American Electric Power, which expects to cut its coal usage nearly in half by 2015 after retiring 25 coal plants.
