Corporate Slogan
In 2017, to mark the Morinaga Milk Group’s 100th year in business, Group management and employees worked together to devise a new Group philosophy and adopt “For Ever Brighter Smiles” as our new corporate slogan. Our philosophy and slogan are imbued with our desire to create the kinds of smiles that naturally occur in abundance in our daily life and when we are at our most comfortable with family and close friends.

In the Morinaga Milk Group 10-Year Vision, we set out three things that we aim to become. This year is the final year of Medium-Term Business Plan 2022–2024 that is currently being executed. In terms of achieving the goals of the 10-year vision, this year constitutes an important link to the next Medium-Term Business Plan. While hitting one by one the targets set in Sustainability Medium- to Long-Term Plan 2030, which was formulated to achieve sustainability management, we will work to achieve sustainable growth and further increases in corporate value.
The Company will also participate in World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Kansai, which is scheduled to be held in 2025. We are making preparations to provide a thrilling experience that will introduce the future possibilities of the previously mentioned studies of bifidobacteria and intestinal flora. Through this World Expo initiative we also aim to encourage “a corporate culture in which people take on challenges” to put down deeper roots, and the entire company will work together as one to make it a success.
“For ever brighter smiles” of all our stakeholders, the Morinaga Milk Group will continue to seek out further innovation and challenges. I ask for your unwavering understanding and support going forward.
