He is determined that contributions to society can best be achieved by the continual creation of value through innovative ideas and inventions. The resulting business expansion will bring prosperity to consumers and trading partners, thus benefiting all society.

At present, everyone at the YKK Group accepts this idea as the fundamental philosophy of their business and will remain loyal to this concept as YKK develops.
