Cycle of Goodness®
No one prospers without rendering benefit to others
“YKK seeks corporate value of higher significance”
We pursue innovative quality in seven key areas
・Do not fear failure; experience builds success / Create opportunities for employees
・Insist on quality in everything
・Build trust, transparency and respect
The new corporate logo design and tagline “Little Parts. Big Difference.” are expressions of our aspiration to create higher value, based on the management principles that are the foundation of the YKK Brand.
Fairness, Customers, Society, Employees, Products, Technology, and Management are the seven areas of our Management Principle, “YKK seeks corporate value of higher significance.” The 7 elements in the lower right of the YKK Corporation Logo represent our determination to raise quality in these areas and create significant value for people, their lifestyles, and their communities.
Continuing on from the goals of the 7 elements, all of us at YKK form the “fastening line,” as we grow as “people for the future” and work to achieve a “Big Difference.”
