  • *2.The “S” in the TACHI-S name refers to the founding spirit (which also begins with “s”) of Spring (growth), Spiral Up (continuous improvement), Sympathy (empathy), etc.
    The “S” for employees refers to Social (social contribution), Sustainability, Safety, etc. The “S” for worksites means Sorting, Setting in order, Shine, Sanitization, Standardization, and Sustaining discipline.
  • *3.“the ability to compete globally” means that all employees, including those in Japan, must aim to be among the best in the world.
  • *4.The phrase “All in the world are under the same sky” is from the “Book of Five Rings” by Musashi Miyamoto, and expresses a mindset of working tirelessly with the same goal in mind.
