In accordance with our corporate philosophy, “providing innovative products to the world and generating new trends to contribute to the creation of an affluent society,” THK conducts business while making use of various operational resources provided by society and strives to create value in order to contribute to society.

As a creative, development-oriented corporate group, THK seeks to increase its corporate value through the development of original products and the use of original production technology. We conduct our business activities in a fair and safe manner and work to better our relationships with our partner businesses and shareholders, as well as with local communities. THK also honors its responsibilities as a member of society by practicing environmental conservation and disclosing information in a timely, fair, and appropriate manner.

THK always maintains a customer-oriented attitude, acting in good faith to provide the best possible products and services. Customers want to be provided with better products, whenever needed, at lower prices.

By taking the customer’s interests to heart—thinking, acting, and verifying our actions while embracing the customer’s point of view—we gain the trust of our customers. This is also how we gain the trust of our shareholders and all our other stakeholders, enabling us to deliver fair returns.

Profitability is the key to our continuing existence as a business enterprise. By channeling a portion of profits into new investment and developing new products and services, we can secure an even greater level of trust from our customers.

Being customer-oriented does not mean accepting customers’ requests indiscriminately, nor does it mean providing service while ignoring profitability. Being customer-oriented does not conflict with delivering profits. On the contrary, being customer-oriented and being profitable go hand in hand—we must never forget this.

THK complies with laws and regulations and other societal standards and engages in healthy and fair business activities. THK also abides by international rules and the laws of each respective location while respecting local customs and cultures.
THK resolutely opposes criminal organizations.
