Division Companies 27 Division Companies Over its long 150-year history, ITOCHU has swiftly adapted in response to changing condi- tions. The Company has steadfastly added to and extended its business areas—from Japan to the world; from textiles to natural resource development, machinery, food, consumer-related products, and financial services; and from midstream businesses to upstream and downstream businesses. To make that operational format more effective, we introduced a Division Company System in 1997 to accelerate decision-making speed and increase management efficiency. Further, the company-wide lateral functions of Headquarters maximize overall earnings by strength- ening collaboration among division companies. 28 Division Companies at a Glance 32 Textile Company 34

Dogwood Alliance INTRODUCTION SUMITOMO CORPORATION’S DIRTY ENERGY TRADE—AND ITS OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE While the rest of the developed world accelerates its deployment of clean, renewable energy, Japan is running backwards. It is putting in place policies which double down on its reliance on coal, and indiscriminately subsidize biomass power technologies that accelerate climate change. Government policy is not the only driver of Japan’s dirty energy expansion – the private sector also plays a pivotal role in growing the country’s energy carbon footprint.

  • CSR for ITOCHU Corporation (PDF 780KB)
    CSR for ITOCHU Corporation ITOCHU Corporation is pursuing multi­facetted corporate activities in various regions of the world and a wide range of fields, and as such, ITOCHU is well aware of how significant its impact on society is. We believe that corporate social responsibility (CSR) lies in corporate thought and action on the question of how to play a role in building sustainable societies through business activities. We also believe that our mission is to fulfill our Corporate Social Responsibility as a global enterprise, always working from the viewpoint of whether we are contributing to the countries of the world and to society. ITOCHU Group Corporate Message ITOCHU founder Chubei Itoh first launched a wholesale linen business in 1858. For more than 150 years since, ITOCHU has passed down the spirit of sampo yoshi (good for the buyer, seller and society), a management philosophy embraced by Ohmi merchants that is the source of its CSR thinking today. After considering ways to demonstrate its commitment to society as an international corporation and to put this commitment into practice, in 1992 ITOCHU formulated “Committed to the Global Good” as a corporate philosophy. The conceptual framework for this philosophy was reorganized in 2009. In order for all employees to properly understand the responsibility that the ITOCHU Group is charged with fulfilling for society and to make this philosophy an integral part of actions everyday, its core element, “Committed to the Global Good,” was set as the ITOCHU Mission for the entire ITOCHU Group. Accompanying this is a new set of five values, called the ITOCHU Values, considered vital for enabling each employee to fulfill their role in realizing the ITOCHU Mission.

  • May 19, 2014 Mitsubishi Corporation Marubeni Corporation Sumitomo
    May 19, 2014 Mitsubishi Corporation Marubeni Corporation Sumitomo Corporation Commencement of Sales of Thilawa Industrial Park Development in Myanmar A consortium made up of Mitsubishi Corporation, Marubeni Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation (“the three companies”) joined forces with Myanmar Thilawa SEZ Holding Public Limited on January 11, 2014 to established Myanmar Japan Thilawa Development Ltd., (“MJTD”). MJTD has been developing the 396 hectare “Class A Area” of the Thilawa Special Economic Zone in Myanmar, which is scheduled to open in the middle of 2015. The three companies, as Japanese marketing agents of MJTD, will start the sale of leasehold rights for the Class A Area (50 years + 25 years as optional) in stages from May 19, 2014. Any of the three companies may be contacted for details on these lots, such as the available lot size, rent and other conditions. The Class A Area is located approximately 20 km southeast of the capital Yangon, and offers various incentives as a special economic zone. This is a key location, not only for export processing bases, but also for production bases targeting domestic demand. The three companies will provide high levels of infrastructure and utility services by applying the extensive know-how they have developed in the industrial park business in ASEAN countries. Attracting Japanese and other foreign investment to the Class A Area will also contribute to job creation and the economic development of Myanmar. In addition, on April 23 this year, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a joint venture agreement for MJTD, making the development of Thilawa Class A the first public-private partnership business between Japan and Myanmar.

  • Boeing's Partnership with Japan—A Unique Market That's Home to Important Customers, As Well As Expertise in Industry—Is Evolving and Strengthening
    Feature Story BOEING FRONTIERS Toward a common benefit Boeing's partnership with Japan—a unique market that's home to important customers, as well as expertise in industry—is evolving and strengthening. Yet one element remains the same: The critical role of personal relationships BY MIK E WI eg AND PHOTO S B Y BO B FE R G U S ON /BO E IN G ike many relationships, the Boeing-Japan relationship had humble beginnings, starting in 1953 with the establishment of Boeing International Corp. Boeing hoped to gain a foothold Lin a promising new market against entrenched competition. The new operation was funded with $1,000 and staffed by five U.S.-based directors. Yet this initial formal presence in Japan was the beginning of a profound partnership and friendship for both the company and Japan. In the past five decades, Boeing and Japan have made aerospace history together—and are setting the pace for defining the future of the industry. “Japan has worked with Boeing over the decades on both commercial and defense pro- grams,” said Hirofumi Katase, former director of the aerospace and defense industry division, manufacturing industries bureau at Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. “Today, Japanese aerospace industry is jointly developing the 787 Dreamliner and Boeing is offering support to Japan’s Mitsubishi Regional Jet program. We have worked together on many defense programs such as Chinook and Tanker.” Japan’s aviation requirements are unique. As a small island nation with dense population cen- ters and high air-traffic demand, Japanese airlines have the highest flight cycles on some of the densest routes in the industry.

    Information Society Trends Issue number: 59 - (1.10.96 - 31.10.96) EDITORIAL Europe Union joins world-wide cyberschool drive Promoting new information society tools in the school environment is an issue that has gained significant momentum in the world's richest countries in the last year. This trend comes in recognition of both the contribution of multimedia to the learning process and of the need to prepare the next generation for the information society. Government-led initiatives and pilot projects to put schools on-line have been launched in North America, Japan and Europe at national, regional and local level. A few striking examples include the US Administration's plan to provide free Internet access for all US schools and libraries by the year 2000, Japan's plans to install 900,000 network-equipped PCs in schools by the year 2000, Germany's three-year "Schools on the network" project, Denmark's plan to put all schools on-line by the year 2000 and Finland's "Education, training and research in the information society" strategy. Industry often supports government initiatives through public-private partnerships, for instance in the framework of the UK's "Superhighway in education" plan or the US National Education Technology Funding Corporation, and sometimes launches its own initiatives, such as the $370 million worth US Technology Learning Challenge. Discrepancies are important at global level: in 1995, one third of all US schools were connected to the Internet compared to only 5% in Japan and in the European Union (EU). They also exist within the EU with school connection rates ranging from two-third in Scandinavia to 15% in the UK, 2% in France and Germany and less in Southern Europe.
