About the cover of the 2015 KOKUYO Group CSR Report
For the last 110 years since 1905, KOKUYO's founder cherished the ideas of the KOKUYO Creed, which states, "When born into this world, a child has nothing to call its own. Our bodies, minds and spirits grow and are nourished by … the encouragement of society…"
The unwavering will of repaying the encouragement he received to society has become the corporate philosophy, "Enrich the world through our products," and the business spirit has been passed down in the company even today.
The cover was designed using the products and buildings that represent KOKUYO's footsteps began from the production of Wacho (Japanese account ledger) cover.
Moving forward, we return to the root of inception to continue our efforts on environmental and social contributions through manufacturing.
