Enrichig lives and the world

The Sumitomo Corporation Group is a corporate group with the mission of realizing prosperity and dreams through sound business activities, and it operates globally across a wide range of industrial sectors. Since its founding in 1919, for over 100 years, we have steadily continued to grow by creating new value together with numerous business partners and stakeholders. At the core of our group's management philosophy is the principle of "self-benefit and benefit to others, public and private as one," which represents the "Sumitomo business spirit" that has been the foundation of Sumitomo's business for approximately 430 years. (Note: This means that "Sumitomo's business must benefit Sumitomo itself, the nation, and society.") As our corporate message states—"Enriching lives and the world"—we set the goal of "making the world, society, and people's lives richer" and act in accordance with this belief. Through this "practical implementation," we will continue to challenge ourselves as a united group to create new value. Please look forward to the Sumitomo Corporation Group.
