Philosophy
Origins and HistoryFor Idemitsu, our Management Philosophy is a statement of "what is the meaning of our existence?" Our Management Philosophy is also a universal, unshakeable coordinate, like the North Star, and for employees, it is a guide when they are unsure of their judgments, and it represents a vision to which they should aspire at all times.
Our Vision changes with the times and the environment, and represents our initiatives to realize a sustainable society that we must connect to the future.
Guided by our Action Guideline for realizing our Management Philosophy, we are striving to achieve our Vision. Through these efforts, we believe we can move closer to our goal of achieving both sustainable business growth and human resource development.
