Torao Hayashi
Our work is connected to human life. When car accidents occur, human lives are lost. It is our responsibility to produce products that can be trusted, so that there is no concern no matter who uses them and how they are used.
Tatsuo Iwatsuki
We must not forget the importance of the slow and steady activity of finding Kaizen improvement ideas in our normal activities and then reflecting them in the next product.
Takeaki Shirai
I believe that DENSO is the agglomeration of each employee working with their best efforts and sincerity in each of their individual posts. (Omitted) I think that a company is a good company if it creates a situation where each person can have a sense of responsibility and pride and can enjoy the work.
Fubito Hirano
My motto has always been "harmony." I believe that work is born out of the relationship between work and work, and between people and people.
Kengo Toda
I always think that, "Feeling that something is now good enough is the worst attitude we can take. A more precious attitude is to always aim to reach new record highs in the world." That is my belief.
Mamoru Tanabe
I have always asked young people to try thinking from the other person's perspective.
Taro Tanaka
When solving a problem, the more difficult the challenge is, the more important it is to change perspective and look at the problem from a different angle.
Teikichiro Toyoda
DENSO can be proud of its corporate culture, which has an atmosphere of openness and loyalty to the company.
Tsuneo Ishimaru
I believe that if people make working hard the purpose of their life and the thing that they live for, then in the end this will lead to happiness for them and also to the development of the economy. Let’s all work together with cheerfulness, fun and humility, and without forgetting to be grateful.
Kazuhiro Ohta
A workplace cannot develop if it is not possible for the people there to properly say what they want to say. (If what they want to say is a forward-looking and serious opinion, of course.) I want everyone to maintain the free and open traditions of DENSO and to work to make the workplaces even brighter.
Akira Takahashi
DENSO is currently nurturing the buds of a great variety of new technologies. I want us to give shape to those technologies as soon as possible. To achieve that, I want you to actively promote collaboration (joint work) that transcends the barriers of your individual sections, and to also flexibly promote collaboration with other companies.
Hiromu Okabe
We must stop thinking that something should be one way or another just because it used to be like that. If each of us try to use our own wisdom, then we will be able to open up new paths. Also, in order to produce that wisdom, we need to find some mental space during our busy days to try and consider things from a broader perspective.
Akihiko Saito
One of the life lessons of Taizo Ishida was that life is to be lived to the fullest and to win. This means that we should not fear the big things and must not underestimate the small things. We must face everything with all our might. I want to remember this attitude and to live a life where I value the encounters and bonds I have with others.
Koichi Fukaya
DENSO is a company that has continued to look ahead and develop steadily, step by step. This is not just in terms of technology and skills, but also applies to the way we work, and to the DENSO Spirit. The accumulation of our efforts each day becomes a powerful force.
Nobuaki Kato
The history of our enterprise development is also the history of our adaptation to environmental change. We must always remember the spirit of the company inception and have the courage to boldly change what needs to be changed, so that we can demonstrate the DENSO Spirit and open up a new future.
Koji Kobayashi
I believe that no matter what a business is, it is not worth continuing it if the business does not benefit the world and people. Conversely, if something is for the benefit of the world and for people, then I believe it is our mission to develop that business, even if it is not very profitable, and no matter what hardship it may entail.
Koji Arima
For the smiles of society and our customers, each associate shall envision their dreams, respect their peers, and bravely take on challenges while trusting each other. In an atmosphere brimming with such spirit at DENSO, let us move forward with passion and smiles towards the realization of our grand dreams.
Shinnosuke Hayashi
It is of course essential that professionals with diverse values and skills work to enhance their own individual strengths. However, it is also essential to have the ability to leverage each other’s strengths without compromise to achieve a single goal. In other words, it is essential to have the ability to harmonize.
