Sanyo

SANYO Electric Group by developing unique technologies and offering excellent products and sincere services, seeks to become a corporation that is loved and trusted by people around the world. The Group seeks to become"as indispensable as the Sun" for the people of the world.

SANYO' founder, the late Toshio Iue, gave the company its name. "SANYO" means "three oceans" -specifically, the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans: in other words, the entire world. Our founder had the earnest ambition to conduct business throughout the world, maximizing the company's three core assets: excellent human resources, superior technologies and first-class service. Thus the company name also implies its business territory and policy.

The founder once stated his principle in this way: "As a corporation, we seek to be like the sun, which shines upon all alike, regardless of race, creed, religion or difference in wealth." As is expressed in his statement, SANYO Electric Group has always sought to be essential to people everywhere in the world?like the sun, that shines upon all.

The sun can represent various meanings, but SANYO Electric Group aims to be:

  • Lively (endless vigor and energy)
  • Indispensable (creative and innovative technologies)
  • Warm (wholehearted sincerity and dedication)

 

The Solar Ark is a symbol of our goal of achieving a "clean energy society." As well as being a center for local community activities, it has become a local landmark.

Funds matching the equivalent domestic cost of the annual electicity output of the Solar Ark's solar modules are transferred to the SANYO Environmental Fund to support various environmental conservation activities.

Since the Solar Ark was created, we have accumulated data on the power-generating performance of the photovoltaic system. At the photovoltaic conference in Europe, the thesis we delivered analyzing that data received an excellent response.
