The core principles of the Marubeni Group are encapsulated in our corporate doctrine of "Fairness-Innovation-Harmony," which is also serves as the foundation for our corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions. "Fairness" refers to the strict compliance with laws, conducting operations in a fair and transparent manner. "Innovation" expresses our determination to be always responsive to market and industry forces, and to take the initiative in creating changes in the markets by providing new products and services. "Harmony" represents the attitude to contribute as a responsible corporate citizen to the benefit of world society and the protection of the global environment for future generations. This philosophy has been passed down by our predecessors as an important way to make a meaningful contribution to society.
