Our Mission, Vision and Values

The ITOCHU Group declares the spirit of “Sampo-yoshi” (Japanese for “good for all three sides”: good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society) to be our new corporate mission, based on the philosophy of our founder, Chubei Itoh I.

This spirit has been passed down from ITOCHU’s founding in 1858 to the present day, and we will continue to uphold it in the future.
