Corporate Philosophy

“Seek the truth” is a phrase that we have valued since our foundation. To “seek the truth” is to acknowledge the basic global issues confronting the world, to assess the essence of the issues, and to study and seek fundamental solutions to the issues. We must not be intimidated in the face of harsh realities and not be discouraged by difficulties, and we must continue to strive to find solutions. With this attitude, we can open up a new era and create new businesses. Such ambitions will be required in all fields and in the global society of the future.
