Humanistic Goals

• Big idealistic / humanistic goals and beliefs are not incompatible with success in business. They may even foster achievement.

Development of Society

• Recognizing our responsibilities as industrialists, we will devote ourselves to the progress and development of society and the well-being of people through our business activities

Making a Profit

• If we cannot make a profit, that means we are committing a sort of crime against society. Without a good profit, we are using society’s precious resources that could be better used elsewhere.

“The mission of the company is to enrich society.”
