2015- Aiming to Realize DNP's Third Corporate Founding

The DNP Group Vision 2015 was formulated and announced in 2015. The Vision came with a new corporate philosophy: "The DNP Group connects individuals and society, and provides new value." DNP has made it known both to its employees and to the public that it strives to achieve change and create new value to solve social issues.
DNP is currently aiming to realize its Third Corporate Founding. Inherent in this founding is the determination that the company must go beyond the Second Corporate Founding that took place in the post-war reconstruction period and create new value in today's rapidly changing social environment.
Moving forward, the company will leverage its strengths in Printing & Information (P&I) and create new value for people and society through Taiwa (dialogue) and cooperation with its many partners.
