Who We Are About
Who We Are Basic Policy of the Kuroda Group
We established our Group Creed and Code of Conduct in line with the change to deploying six business divisions in parallel under a holding company in April 2020.
This Creed was originally created by Mr. Zenichiro Kuroda, founder of Kuroda Electric Co., Ltd. in 1951. From the perspective of group business operations, this means maintaining a strong financial base that is essential for business continuity, while also succeeding in as many initiatives to improve corporate value as possible that make the company's own efforts visible.
Under this Group Creed and Code of Conduct, our Group members work with a shared understanding, continuously looking ahead to the next decade of our business. We are committed to strengthening each business by proactively carrying out as many essential individual actions (what must be done) as possible in our daily operations.
