About Sumitomo Corporation

The mission of the Sumitomo Corporation Group is “to achieve prosperity and realize dreams through sound business activities.”Our aim is to create a “virtuous cycle” whereby we pursue businesses that are truly beneficial to society, by applying what we have achived which in turn leads to offering new values and a better environment.

Greater economic globalization creates new issues, including environmental issues and increased regional disparity. As a global corporation, the Sumitomo Corporation Group recognizes the importance of these issues. We are actively engaged in many different countries and regions, working to resolve these issues using our Integrated Corporate Strength.

The environment surrounding us is constantly changing. We are turning these changes into opportunities, and these opportunities into continuous growth. As we grow, we are also committed to working toward the continued development of the world economy and the international community.

The Sumitomo Business Spirit

The “Sumitomo Business Spirit” grew out of the guiding principles set down by Sumitomo founder Masatomo Sumitomo in his “Monjuin Shiigaki” (the Aphorisms of Monjuin). This corporate spirit has been developed, deepened, and handed down over generations in the Sumitomo Family enterprise, and its essence was distilled in the Sumitomo’s Family Constitution established in 1882, and formulated into two business principles in 1891. Although there were some corrections to the wording, the “Sumitomo Business Principles” have been inherited with no change in the contents up to now.
