CEASELESS CREATIVITY

Akunaki sōzō - Ceaseless Creativity

In 1969, our late founder, Yo Sato, settled on the phrase "Ceaseless Creativity" as our corporate motto. Believing that the mission of enterprises, like that of individuals, is to improve themselves so that they provide a useful service to the world, we have adopted a policy of creatively working together as we dedicate ourselves to the Company's business.

SATO Corporate Principles (7 Beliefs)

SATO's Management Principles were established by Yo Sato in 1978. With these principles, SATO has been able set out and pass on a management philosophy that describes the actions and attitudes we believe are necessary to achieve our social mission and contribute to the advancement of society. In 2010 our Management Principles were revised to be clearer and more succinct. They were summarized into seven items and were renamed as SATO's Corporate Principles.
