We have formulated our corporate purpose with the goal of putting into words our aspirations for the future, with that purpose being: “We Sweeten the Future to Open Hearts.” We aim to be a purpose-driven company that contributes to a sustainable future for our society and its people.In February 2025, we also formulated “Kanro Vision 2.0” as a new compass to steer our company.In a rapidly changing business environment, flexibility to respond to change and consistency based on vision are required to continue long-term growth.Our vision is “Bringing smiles to people and society by continuing to create sweet moments.” Both in the present and into the future, we aim to create a company that makes sweet moments and smiles with a commitment to remain close to consumers, be flexible enough to meet their needs, and stick to our unwavering vision.
