Corporate Philosophy
Our philosophy is to contribute to significant advances in food and health on a global basis and ultimately to create a better life for all. We emphasize leadership, innovation and foresight in providing safe and reliable products of the highest quality. Staunchly committed to environmental preservation, Ajinomoto is also globally active in promoting better health and nutrition and in education and disaster assistance programs.
Clearly Defined Strategies for Growth
Ajinomoto has begun a new three-year management plan designed to promote further development as a truly global corporation. The plan encompasses five key areas: expanding business in growth sectors, shifting toward a high-earnings structure, strengthening corporate governance, nurturing personnel capable of working in the global arena, and operating in harmony with society as a good corporate citizen. Our objectives under the new three-year management plan, which will be completed in March 2005, include sales of ¥1.1 trillion, operating income of ¥75 billion, net income of ¥45 billion and return on equity of at least 10 percent.
The Ajinomoto Way
Ajinomoto has numerous number one and strong number two brands in its chosen markets, both in Japan and around the world. Programs to concentrate resources in selected core markets implemented under our recently accomplished management plan will support our brands, while our technological expertise is a core strength with which we can differentiate existing products and develop new ones. Ajinomoto’s 106 factories in 15 countries and regions including Japan support operations that span 22 countries and regions. We will continue to grow by emphasizing the Ajinomoto Way: developing the people, products and strategies required to differentiate Ajinomoto from competitors and provide the means to succeed in global markets.
