The new era has started, when we all must consider and conduct ourselves to aim for realization of a sustainable society, while it is believed that the economy of the last century based on mass production, mass consumption and mass disposal has led to excessive impacts on the global environment beyond the Earth’s ability to purify and regenerate itself, and has caused a multitude of environmental problems.

As a company in key industries related to the land, sea and air, we Kawasaki consider it our mission to respond to the diversified needs of people utilizing greatly reduced amounts of resources and energy by the following principal concepts：
