The Three Corporate Principles were established in 1934 as a code of conduct for the original Mitsubishi Corporation. These principles were derived from the 1920 declaration issued by Koyata Iwasaki, the fourth generation president of Mitsubishi Corporation. Although the original Mitsubishi Corporation was dissolved in 1947, the Three Corporate Principles were adopted as the corporate philosophy of the new Mitsubishi Corporation and its group companies, and the spirit of these principles continues to live on within each officer and employee.
Corporate Responsibility to Society "Shoki Hoko" | Strive to enrich society, both materially and spiritually, while contributing towards the preservation of the global environment. |

Integrity and Fairness "Shoji Komei" | Maintain principles of transparency and openness, conducting business with integrity and fairness. |
Global Understanding Through Business "Ritsugyo Boeki" | Expand business, based on an all-encompassing global perspective. |
