“We contribute to the advancement of society by creating innovative products and solutions.”
Ever since our foundation, Murata employees have cherished these words and have reflected upon them almost every day. Starting from the day of our establishment, we have undertaken business operations aimed at creating “originality” through intellect, building a broader and deeper foundation for an electronic society, and striving to truly enrich people’s lives. The corporate slogan that we have set forth is “Innovator in Electronics.” By leading innovation in the electronics industry and taking the initiative in working toward a better environment and society, we seek value creation through ingenious electronics development.
Recently, AI has gained prominence in electronics. It is accelerating the realization of the digital twin concept, making it increasingly tangible. AI embodies an innovation that transcends the electronics industry in which we operate, significantly boosting productivity and creativity to promote unprecedented growth for both businesses and individuals. Murata will continue to proactively create value that meets the needs of our customers and society by spearheading the transformation of the AI-driven electronics industry. We will accomplish this through miniaturization with enhanced capacity, power conservation, high power density, improved efficiency, and adaptation to higher frequency ranges in anticipation of 6G.
Significant changes impacting the electronics industry are also occurring in the mobility sector. With electrification, increased electronic components, and autonomous driving, we expect vehicles to include more semiconductors and communication functions, becoming increasingly similar to smartphones in terms of electronics and communication capabilities. Moreover, the market is expanding not just for automobiles but also in related sectors like services and infrastructure, further deepening Murata’s connection with society.
We will continue contributing to the realization of a prosperous and sustainable society through our “global network and deep customer base,” “technological development capabilities,” and “Monozukuri (manufacturing) capabilities,” all Murata competencies cultivated through extensive experience, as well as the “organizational cooperation” of Murata employees that unites these strengths.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets set by the United Nations for the year 2030 are consistent with our activities and direction. In order for us to work together with society to achieve sustainable growth into the future, we must make conscious efforts to incorporate the resolution of social issues, to which Murata can contribute due to our adherence to the perspective of the ESGs, into our management strategies, as well as efforts to conduct business in harmony with our stakeholders.
In light of these social changes, we aim to contribute to cultural development by operating our business from a broader perspective than ever before and striving to be the “Global No. 1 Component & Module Supplier,” representing the best choice for our stakeholders.
