Pigeon DNA
Corporate Philosophy, Credo
The core of Pigeon throughout its history and into the future.
"Developing products and services full of love, because only love can beget love."
What is ultimately the most valuable asset of all humanity? I would say "the ability to trea- sure other people", that is, "love". This is the credo of the Pigeon Group.
The Pigeon Group is a corporate entity that provides products and services for babies,
chil- dren and those who need assistance. We won't be able to generate products and services full of love if we lack the spirit ourselves. This is the same spirit that a mother feels for the precious baby she is nurturing. I believe the spirit of love is the foundation for all our busi- ness activities, and symbolizes the corporate philosophy of the Pigeon Group as a whole.
