There is one manufacturer of zippers that makes half of all zippers in the world. That is 3 million kilometers annually or enough to circle the globe 80 times!
But enough said about volume and even its excellent quality. What is fascinating is the philosophy that built this company.
Tadao Yoshida, its founder, based every facet of his business on a philosophy that has become known as the “Cycle of Goodness”. This embodies the concept of mutual prosperity by stating that “no one prospers without rendering benefit to others”.
Every enterprise is “an important member of society, and as such it must coexist with other elements of society.
Its value will be measured by the benefits it shares with society…These contributions to society can best be achieved by the continual creation of value through innovative ideas and inventions.
The resulting business expansion will bring prosperity to consumers and business partners, thus benefiting all society.”
Imagine if ALL businesses followed this “cycle of goodness!”
