“NISSUI’s genes” inherited beyond centuries
Since being founded in 1911, NISSUI has continued its business under the basic philosophy of “contributing to the society while continuing to create value.” During the company’s history of nearly 100 years, great changes have occurred both in society and in the forms of business. The spirit of the NISSUI Group and its businesses based on marine resources, however, have not changed at all. The company’s spirit is well expressed by the words of Kosuke Kunishi , a man contributing to it’s the company’s founding: “Water is to the water service is what marine resources are to the production and supply of marine products. We should search for ocean resources throughout the world, store them in as a fresh condition as possible, build water pipes, as it were, in every market of the world, and supply them while adjusting the market price according to demand. (…) Like a water system, we should avoid any loss in the supply process and strive to offer marine products at as a low price as possible. We should not demand any excessive profits in this process.”
This idea has since been ingrained in the company’s basic management policy as “NISSUI’s genes.” The NISSUI Group will continue to contribute to society by creating diverse values from marine resources in cooperation with people throughout the world. With these activities, we will endeavor to meet the expectations of the many stakeholders of the NISSUI Group.
