Group Corporate Philosophy of (MVCV)

The 3rd Stage and the Fujikura Group Corporate Philosophy of MVCV

Numbered in terms of human years, Fujikura has celebrated its auspicious 60th birthday twice, and has entered a new stage three times. We declared our 120th anniversary in 2005 as the third new stage of the company, and formulated new business principles entitled Mission, Vision, and Core Values (MVCV), which are aimed at further development of our company in a new era. These incorporate the spirit of the company that we have cherished and protected since the company was founded in 1885, and detail our mission of creating value for our customers and contributing to society through the “tsunagu” (connecting) technologies on which our corporate culture is based.

Since then we have experienced changes in the environment and intensified competition. We re-established the Mission, Vision, Core Values as the Fujikura Group Corporate Philosophy in October 2011, stipulating that all group employees share a set of principles. The group corporate philosophy is based on our belief that it is essential to boost our reform efforts to help build a stronger corporate structure and enable us to maintain high profitability and achieve sound, sustainable growth.

Based on the Mission, Vision, and Core Values as the Fujikura Group Philosophy, we are aiming to achieve the strategic business goals in the 2020 Mid-Term Business Plan. These will enable us to overcome the rapid changes in the business environment and achieve our mission, which is our ultimate goal.

Path Leading to the 3rd New Stage

Activities to Ensure Dissemination of MVCV

Since the Mission, Vision, and Core Values (MVCV) were re-established as the Group Corporate Philosophy, we have continued to implement a series of activities to ensure that each and every employee understands them. During the 1st Stage (2005-2009), we conducted training activities for management and line managers to move them “from insight to action.” During the 2nd Stage (2010-2012), we deepened their understanding through activities relating to the practical implementation of the Code of Conduct as a “gear shift.” In the current, 3rd Stage (2013 onward), we are implementing initiatives aimed at practical implementation that enable each and every employee to understand the importance of the Corporate Philosophy and base their decisions and actions on the MVCV and the Code of Conduct to “refine activities and dig deeper.”

The main goal of the 3rd Stage is to be appreciated by customers, be highly admired by society, and have employees working in vigor. This will result in a highly profitable company and group. To achieve this, each employee will recognize the key role that he or she plays, work diligently on activities aimed at the instillation of these values in everyone, and work together with all employees to create a good corporate culture.

Fiscal 2018 Plans and Activity Record

Fujikura has designated the month of October each year as Focus on MVCV Month and provides training in which all employees participate. We have done this to enable employees to naturally base their actions on the Group Corporate Philosophy of MVCV.

In fiscal 2018, there are many Fujikura's successful experiences that are usually taken as a matter of course and that you may not notice. We unearthed this unnoticed and buried success experience and recruited "MVCV Image Video" scenarios to reaffirm (aware and empathize) the values and ideas Fujikura values. Fujikura Group will share the newly discovered excellent examples of successful experiences as MVCV educational videos that convey the Fujikura’s DNA from next fiscal year.
