VALUE CREATION STRUCTURE
EBARA Group's Purpose and the "EBARA Way"
Our mission is to contribute to society by providing products and services that support society, industry, and daily life. Our mission begins with
the spirit of "Netsu to Makoto" (Passion and Dedication).
EBARA Corporation was founded in 1912 by Issey Hatakeyama with the aim of spreading the use of the Inokuty-type volute pump. Applying the world-renowned volute pump research of Dr. Ariya Inokuty, EBARA sought to contribute to the modernization of Japan by producing the first domestically manufactured waterworks pumps, installing water infrastructure to prepare for natural disasters, and developing the first water purifiers for waterworks manufactured in Japan. Driven by the spirit of "Netsu to Makoto" (Passion and Dedication) to support the modernization of Japan and solve the problems facing society,
EBARA has determined its mission is to contribute to society by providing products and services that support society, industry, and our daily lives. Inspired by "Netsu to Makoto,"
our employees seek to continuously cultivate our technological capabilities and reliability, which are the sources of our growth.
A Driving Force to Create Value Cultivated Over Many Years
The EBARA Way
Since the EBARA Group's founding, we have continually provided value to society through our business in addition to fulfilling our social responsibilities.
In conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the Company's founding in 2012, we reflected on the type of company we are and want to be and reorganized those fundamental values and ethics into the EBARA Group Business Ethics Framework, to support our ethical operation over the next 100 years. As part of this undertaking, we redefined the Group's Founding Spirit, corporate philosophy, and CSR Policy as the "EBARA Way," the transcendental value shared across the EBARA Group. The
pursuit of the EBARA Way serves as the catalyst for increasing the value of the entire EBARA Group.
Moving forward, the EBARA Group will honor our Founding Spirit of "Netsu to Makoto" (Passion and Dedication), a philosophy of engaging with work and people with passion and dedication that inspires us to contribute to society in the areas of water, air, and the environment. Guided by this spirit and our CSR Policy, we maintain high ethical standards throughout our business activities and foster relationships of trust with our stakeholders.
EBARA Group Business Ethics Framework
"Netsu to Makoto" (Passion and Dedication)
EBARA founder Issey Hatakeyama acted in accordance with his philosophy of approaching daily tasks with passion, dedication, integri- ty, and ingenuity in order to spur personal and corporate growth, and encouraged employees to adopt the same approach. The founding spirit of "Netsu to Makoto," or Passion and Dedication, forms the basis of all the EBARA Group employees' attitudes, ideas, and work ethic.
Technological Capabilities
The technologies of the EBARA Group originated from the Fluid Machinery & Systems Business, going back to the Company's founding. These technologies gave rise to the technologies of the Environmental Plants Business, and together, they evolved to produce the technologies of the Precision Machinery Business. For more than a century since its founding, the EBARA Group has continued to provide the products and services desired by customers and society, accumulating the technologies necessary to offer support across the entire product lifecycle. Currently, our technological capabilities lie in our diverse accruement of core product technologies from our five main business segments.
We aim to make our fluid technologies, numerical analysis techniques, materials, analysis, and other foundational technologies the very best in the world. By incorporating advanced techniques and methodologies such as digital transformation applications in data science and design and production technologies nurtured in each business based on these technologies, we will work to further enhance our products and services while developing the technologies for the future.
Reliability
The passion and dedication all employees exercise in their work and the tenacity they exhibit in the face of adversity have won EBARA a strong reputation for reliability among its customers. We continue to build upon this reputation of being
a reliable and steadfast partner by remaining true to our spirit of passion and dedication and by proactively solving issues customers may be facing. Strengthening our trust-based relationships with customers and other stakeholders will unlock new possibilities for EBARA.
Elements of the "EBARA Way":
Founding Spirit of Passion and Dedication
Both employees and the Company shall strive for growth with passion and dedication to bring forth originality and ingenuity, rather than simply fulfilling the task at hand.
When working with passion and dedication, there is nothing that cannot be communicated to others.
Corporate Philosophy
We contribute to society through high-quality technologies and services relating to water, air, and the environment.
CSR Policy
We seek to foster trust with our valued stakeholders by conducting our business with a strong sense of ethics.
