Management Philosophy and Guidelines for Action

Ryoden carries out business activities through management grounded in its Management Philosophy and the Ryoden Group Guidelines for Action, as described below.

• We respond to societal changes, strive for the stability and development of our corporate management and contribute to the communities in which we do business.
• By conducting business sincerely and providing leading-edge technologies, we justify the trust of our customers.
• We respect the dignity and individuality of each employee, cultivating people with high degrees of professional skill, commitment to innovation and creativity.

With these three principles as our spiritual support, we are striving to be a Company that can prevail in each era.

The Ryoden Group Guidelines for Action express the Management Philosophy in more specific terms, so that all managers and employees can use them as a guide in their daily actions as they carry out the business activities of the Group. The Guidelines for Action are also reflected in the management and internal systems of each Group company.
We use the Guidelines for Action to furnish appropriate criteria for judgement and clarify our stance as a Group that strictly abides by ethical norms, laws and rules. At the same time, we govern our daily actions by the Guidelines for Action, so that we can find common values as a corporate Group, renew the spiritual features and culture of the Group, and develop further as a corporate brand that is trusted more than ever by the communities it serves.
