未来を担う人財づくりTOYOSHIMA SUSTAINABLE ACTION 01

The foundation of TOYOSHIMA 's human resource development is based on the stance of "honesty and truthfulness," "earnest and earnest efforts," and "fulfilling one's responsibilities." By giving each employee discretionary power based on these foundations, we have created a "personalized group" that is strong against adversity, and we have overcome various environmental changes so far. This is TOYOSHIMA 's history, which has continued for nearly 180 years, and is part of TOYOSHIMA 's DNA. The development of materials such as Orgabits and Tencel, as well as the construction of the ODM business that pioneered other companies, were born from TOYOSHIMA 's history and DNA.
We will continue to develop human resources with the ability to create new value and achieve innovation.

Sustainable
 manufacturing

This is an initiative aimed at reducing loss of sales opportunities for business partners. After sharing sales performance data from business partners, we analyze it by exclusive data scientists. By analyzing with a unique method that incorporates AI, we support you in deciding on additional orders for the necessary colors/sizes at the right time. As a result, we have received feedback that it also led to an increase in the digestion rate of Probar.
