SMFL Way

In April 2020, SMFL decided to redefine the management philosophy and policies we had been using up to that point and created a new ideological system called the SMFL Way.

1. Our Mission

SMFL's purpose is defined as Our Mission. Our Mission is the fundamental approach that guides our conduct and decision-making.

Looking beyond the present, we are committed to contributing broadly to the sustainable growth of our customers and society by providing high value-added services.

2. Our Vision

Our Vision defines what SMFL aims to become. We want to be a company that:

  • is an essential business partner delivering new value to out customers
  • is tackling the SDGs head-on so that we will continue to be chosen by customers in the future
  • grows together with our employees, supporting each individual SMFL emploee to take on new challenges
  • can undergo a digital transformation enabling us to realize points 1 to 3 and to become an advanced digital company that can overcome barriers to growth.

By realizing these four aspects of Our Vision, we will contribute to the sustainable development of our customers and society.
