The Three Corporate Principles were formulated in 1934, as the action guidelines of Mitsubishi Trading Company (Mitsubishi Shoji Kaisha), based on the teachings of Koyata Iwasaki, the fourth president of Mitsubishi. Although Mitsubishi Trading Company ceased to exist as of 1947, the principles were adopted as MC's corporate philosophy, and this spirit lives on in the actions of today's management and employees. The Three Corporate Principles also serve as the cornerstone of the management ethos of the so-called Mitsubishi group of companies. Active in many business fields and united by a common history and philosophy, the Mitsubishi group companies continue to grow through a strong spirit of friendly competition with one another.
