It was instituted in 1970 on the basis of the policy advocated by Koyata Iwasaki, president of Mitsubishi Goshi Kaisha in the 1920’s to indicate the essential attitude of the company, the mental attitude of the employees, and the future directions of the company. The reason for instituting the present creed is so that all of us can call to mind our one hundred years of tradition and strive for further development in the future.
