Our Mission and Culture

The development of human civilization has placed us on the verge of devouring all of our planet’s resources. Reducing our environmental impact is no longer a question of “charitable activities” but a matter of the most pressing nature. Unless we act now, a future in which humans can no longer produce goods or even survive may only be a few generations away, regardless of the technologies we may possess.

Against this backdrop and with a mission of “making the world sustainable with new manufacturing technologies,” Elephantech will continue to work towards a better world by developing new technologies that vastly reduce the environmental impact and labor intensity of the manufacturing industry.

Of course, it is no easy task to develop revolutionary and disruptive technological innovations that displace existing technologies on a global scale. We must overcome many failures and strengthen not only our technology but also our organization itself. We believe that culture plays an important role in this process.

Why is culture important?

We strive for Culture-based Management. Ideally, we do not want to bind people by rules but rather have all members share a common culture, a culture that encourages members to make decisions and act based on their own beliefs and judgment. We believe that the role of Elephantech managers is not to micromanage tasks but to instill a culture and nurture each team member to make the right decisions.

After all, what matters most are the results, and culture is all about maximizing those results. For us, establishing and keeping to our corporate culture is not a matter of social justice or ideals but something more substantial, something that should be prioritized as a core part of our business and not a peripheral add-on.

The manufacturing industry in particular is an environment in which the collapse of corporate culture can easily lead to disastrous results such as organizational fragmentation and rigidity, or even the concealment of defects.

Therefore, we believe that it is essential to create a single corporate culture to build a strong organization and, in turn, have the most significant impact on the world. We have defined our culture as “The Elephantech Way.”
