(NPP) NSSK Philosophy Program

NSSK Philosophy Program Ideals

NSSK has established its NSSK Philosophy Program (NPP) as an approach to support the education of employees and human resource development. One ideal of NPP is to do what is right in life. All employees connected to NSSK are encouraged to follow this life philosophy, which we believe leads to the happiness of all employees and prosperity for the company.

NSSK Philosophy Program Details

The NPP, incorporating six key elements, was developed under the guidance of Yoshihito Ohta, NSSK’s Chief Corporate Philosophy Officer (CPO). Ohta, who has over 30 years of experience supporting Kyocera Corp. founder Kazuo Inamori, crafted the program to highlight the significance of corporate philosophy, detailing methods for its development and dissemination. The NPP aims to assist portfolio companies in establishing their own unique corporate philosophies.
