Management Philosophy of the Furukawa Company Group
The Furukawa Company Group will remain indispensable to society by always embracing a spirit of challenge, advancing the technologies that have underpinned the foundation of society that originated in mining development.
Action Guidelines of the Furukawa Company Group
In order to live up to our Management Philosophy, we put our Action Guidelines of Innovation, Creativity and Harmony into practice, while always bearing in mind the three key words, Luck, Stolidity and Perseverance* that best represents the spirit of our founder.
Innovation: We will work constantly at self-innovation by embracing a future-oriented mindset.
Creativity: We will seek to create reliable, appealing products that meet market needs.
Harmony: We will improve management transparency and contribute to the development of a society that is in harmony with the environment.
- * Luck＝運Un, Stolidity＝鈍Don, Perseverance＝根Kon
This means that, while humans may place highest importance on "luck," getting important things done requires "stolidity" and "perseverance".
