What leadership means to us

At Kuraray, leaders don’t simply set an example: they also shape our culture and play a key role in our transformation. Customer focus, trust, people orientation, inspiration and courage are important qualities. We therefore select our managers carefully and offer training, coaching and mentoring programmes to support them. Regular feedback makes sure that we are moving in the right direction.
