Company philosophy

IZUMI CHAIN MFG.

Introduction (Background of establishing our company philosophy)

Today, our environment has changed significantly due to various factors, including political and economic conditions (increased geopolitical risks, rising inflation, significant fluctuations in exchange rates, accelerating technological innovation, and changing awareness of global issues), working conditions (labor shortages and changes in work styles), and industry dynamics (trends in consolidation and intensifying competition).

In this evolving landscape, we must continue to grow rather than remain stagnant.

To achieve this, we believe it is essential to review and redefine our management philosophy and code of conduct, guiding us on the path we should take. As a result, we have revised our purpose framework and decided to reestablish and communicate our company philosophy.

Let each of us thoroughly understand, act upon, and cooperate with the principles outlined below to overcome any challenges and move forward together.

Purpose & Mission

We value people, technology, and quality, and support safe, secure, and comfortable lives through our chains, connecting people around the world in a circle of trust and joy.

Valuing People means respecting everyone involved, building a culture of mutual trust and growth. This starts with creating an environment where employees respect each other and work in safety and security, enjoying and growing through their work. It extends beyond employees to include their families, clients, suppliers, end-users, shareholders, and the local communities where we operate. We aim to build relationships where all parties respect and trust each other and grow together.

Valuing Technology involves preserving, refining, and innovating technology. Our goal is to continue to inherit the technology that we have cultivated over more than 100 years of manufacturing, development, and research. This involves maintaining these assets, refining them, and innovating ahead of changing times.

Valuing Quality means achieving high and consistent quality. Our goal is to provide products and services of the highest quality through our valued people and technology, and to maintain and improve our high level of satisfaction with quality.

Our purpose and mission are to continue being a company that supports safe, secure, and comfortable living through the chain we have built, expanding and connecting trust and joy to people around the world.

Vision (dream/desired state)

Each and every independent employee shares the same mission and works energetically.

In order to achieve our purpose mission, we need to be a company with a strong organization, that is, a company with an organization that can overcome any difficulties with strength and flexibility and continue to evolve.

This requires each of us to have clear goals in our work and personal lives and to be self-reliant person who thinks independently and acts sincerely towards achieving those goals.

Such self-reliant people contribute to building a strong organization by having a high sense of responsibility, respecting others, trusting each other, and cooperating in a collective manner to achieve our purpose and mission.

Through this approach, we create a positive cycle where personal growth, company growth, and societal contribution lead to further growth and joy. The vision of working in such a manner, where we generate a positive cycle of growth and joy, reflects the state of being vital and engaged in our work. Let us all strive to foster a company culture where everyone works with vitality and enthusiasm.

Value (value standards/code of conduct)

  1. ① Comply with laws and regulations, and prioritize safety in actions.
  2. ② Act without arrogance or servility, and maintain fairness and impartiality.
  3. ③ Promptly provide products and services that satisfy customers
  4. ④ Improve technology, skills, and knowledge through every opportunity
  5. ⑤ Unite diverse individual strengths and embed them in the organization’s power.
  6. ⑥ Embrace new challenges without fear of failure, and strengthen individual capabilities.
  7. ⑦ See with one's own eyes and think and act based on the facts

In order to achieve our Vision and fulfill our Purpose and Mission, we have outlined seven key Value Standards in order of priority.

First and foremost, it is important to have a high level of compliance awareness and prioritize safety, as this forms the foundation of everything we do.

Furthermore, for the organization to function correctly, building mutual trust is essential. This requires adherence to universal principles of human conduct as outlined in item #2. Even with extensive knowledge, experience, and technical skills, without this aspect, building trust would be impossible.

In addition to this foundation, #3 prioritizing customer needs, #4 improving individual skills, #5 leveraging these skills within the organization, #6 embracing a spirit of challenge, and #7making decisions based on facts are all critically important.

By adhering to these value standards and codes of conduct in our daily work, each of us will contribute to realizing our Vision and achieving our Purpose and Mission.
