The Fujikura Group Corporate Philosophy
Since its founding in 1885, Fujikura has contributed to the betterment of society by providing advanced technologies backed by uncompromising reliability. Previously, our strength was attributable to a highly stable business built on strong partnerships with a number of blue-chip customers. However, the markets that are key to the future survival of Fujikura lie in the highly competitive global arena. If we are to survive and prosper in these constantly changing markets, we must fundamentally reform our corporate culture.
To achieve this objective, we formulated in August 2005 a new set of business principles titled Mission, Vision, Core Values, to be shared by all Fujikura Group employees. These principles will help us successfully navigate a new and successful course through our reformation and the Third Era.
Since then, the competitive environment surrounding our group has continued to intensify. Along with the formulation of the 2015 Mid-Term Business Plan, we re-established Mission, Vision, Core Values as the Fujikura Group Corporate Philosophy in October 2011, stipulating that all group employees share a set of principles. The group corporate philosophy was based on our belief that it is essential to boost our reform efforts to help build a stronger corporate structure and enable us to maintain high profitability and achieve sound, stable growth.
