Sustainability
With our architectural products,
we connect people, planet, and the future to create a better society.
At YKK AP, the foundation principle of our business activities is the YKK spirit of "Cycle of Goodness".
This phrase, which emphasizes that "No one prospers without rendering benefits to others", is aimed at prospering together with the society, customers, and employees, being aligned with the concept of sustainability.
We integrate philosophies highly compatible with sustainability into the core of our business and contribute to realizing a sustainable society through our operations.
