Philosophy and Principles

Mitsubishi has been promoting fair and sound business activities in accordance with the "three guidelines" of its corporate philosophy since its founding. Constantly improve the law-abiding operation, for example, formulate the "enterprise action policy" as the enterprise action guide, improve the company's internal regulations related to discipline and law-abiding, adopt the law-abiding operation executive system, and improve the crisis management system. In addition, in order to thoroughly implement the law-abiding operation, every employee should not only abide by the relevant laws and regulations, as well as the international provisions such as the Universal Declaration of human rights formulated by the United Nations and the international labor standards promulgated by the international labor organization, but also sign and abide by the "code of conduct for Mitsubishi employees" to ensure that their behavior conforms to social norms.

"Three guidelines" is the company's business guidelines put forward by Mitsuya Iwasaki, the fourth president of Mitsubishi in 1920, which was determined as the original Mitsubishi's action guide in 1934. The former Mitsubishi Corporation was dissolved in 1947, but in the present Mitsubishi Corporation, the essence of the three guidelines, as a corporate philosophy, has penetrated into the hearts of every director and employee.
