Introducing the DNP Group Vision, Corporate Philosophy and Code of Conduct.

DNP Group Vision 2015

The "DNP Group Vision 2015" describes the basic management policy of the DNP Group. It consists of the Corporate Philosophy, Business Vision and Guiding Principles. (Announced in October 2015)

Corporate Philosophy

The DNP Group connects individuals and society, and provides new value.

The DNP Group

provides society with what individuals need,
provides individuals with what society needs.

Business Vision

Use P&I innovations to expand business, primarily in four growth areas.

P&I innovations

P&I refers to DNP’s overall strength in printing (P) and information (I), including technological capabilities and sales and project planning capacities. "P&I innovation" refers to the creation of new value-value that never existed before-by combining these various strengths with external resources and/or new ideas to create novel concepts, products, and services.

DNP's four growth areas

DNP's corporate philosophy is "The DNP Group connects individuals and society, and provides new value," and the Group is working to realize a sustainable, better society and more comfortable lifestyles. We have identified social issues and people's expectations that only we can address, and have established "four growth areas" where we will expand our business by creating value.

Four growth areas

  • Knowledge and Communication

    A future where people worldwide can expand opportunities for safe and secure communications and share and inherit knowledge

    DNP will provide value for nurturing culture and supporting people’s lives through comfortable communications. By producing information media services and content and enhancing services protected by information security, DNP will provide people with the information they want when they need it in an optimal format and will convey knowledge from generation to generation.

  • Food and Healthcare

    A future where people around the world no longer have anxieties about their own lives and can lead lifelong safe, secure and high-quality lives

    Amid a shift in global demographics and the ongoing decline in birthrates and aging of society in Japan, DNP will create value that supports safe and high-quality lives and helps people maintain their health throughout their lives. DNP will support the food value chain through its functional and hygienic packaging while also taking on the challenge of extending healthy lifespans through its life science-related businesses.

  • Lifestyle and Mobility

    A future that safely and securely protects all living spaces where people worldwide are mobile and lead their lives

    DNP will provide value in the form of high levels of safety and comfort in all spaces where people lead their daily lives, including at home, stores, offices and hospitals, as well as in cars and railway cars. We will add functions that create comfortable spaces and develop superbly designed products and combine these with the Internet of Things (IoT) to contribute to the realization of a smart society.

  • Environment and Energy

    A sustainable future that reduces environmental impacts and enables people worldwide to co-exist harmoniously with the earth

    DNP will accelerate the development of diverse products and services toward the realization of a sustainable society that achieves compatibility between economic development and protection of the global environment. We will combine strengths such as our highly functional films that control light and heat with our information technologies to provide value that enables resource and energy savings and helps preserve biodiversity.

Guiding Principles

Taiwa (dialogue) and Cooperation

Each member of DNP becomes a professional in his or her field. Actively and repeatedly engaging in taiwa and working together with people both inside and outside the company leads to the generation of original products and services that never existed in the past.

Taiwa (dialogue) and cooperation-focused innovation
