Corporate Philosophy

Contributing to society through our businesses
—this is the philosophy to which our company adheres.

Against the backdrop of global climate change, environmental issues, and human rights concerns, the world is facing a variety of challenges. Amid these, the Noritake Group strives to contribute to the global environment, a convenient society, and the people’s well-being through its business activities, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by addressing these challenges. In order to fulfill our social responsibilities, maintain trust from society, and remain an essential presence, we have reorganized the Noritake Creed, which was formed when the company was founded, as the Corporate Motto and the Noritake Group’s Code of Ethics, and we ensure that all employees are familiar with them.

The Noritake Creed

In 1909, Ichizaemon Morimura, one of Noritake's founders, set down "The Noritake Creed," the philosophy to which our company is to adhere.
Outlining concepts such as "Harmonious Coexistence and Coprosperity," "Social Contribution," "Trust First," and "Integrity and Cooperation," have been upheld to this day, conducted by every member of the company.
