Taking "changing things and undergoing change" as our watchwords,
we strive to be "A corporation that creates life-value", and never slackens in its drive for reinvention.
At Seiren and Seiren Group, consolidated business is a fundamental element in maximizing group total corporate value.
The consolidated business indicator we aim to achieve is:
- A consolidated operating income margin of 10% or more
(2.7% for the year ended March 2009); and
- Consolidated ROE of 10% or more
(1.9% for the year ended March 2009)
We also engage in business practices which strengthen corporate value, while keeping a close eye on ROA, capital-to-asset ratio and cash flow management.
Striving to make, "Further progress and challenges to the next dream" a reality.
For the past 20 years, the slogan "Changing Seiren for a Different Seiren" has been indicative of putting forth maximum effort to create an excellent company attuned to the needs of the 21st century.
This fundamental strategy is outlined in the 4 points below.
