Towards the Future -
Unity of Astemo through MVV
MVV visual illustrates that MISSION, VISION, and VALUES are not isolated concepts, but rather aligned forces—each represented as an arrow—pointing toward a common destination: the company’s purpose and future.
We create and foster a sense of unity among all Astemo employees, moving in the same direction, forming our corporate culture—we put those thoughts and passion into this MVV visual image.
Bringing freedom of travel: beyond all boundaries
To make our MISSION concise and memorable, Astemo has established the corporate slogan ‘Mobility Beyond,’ which simply expresses Astemo’s ‘aspirations’ and the ‘value Astemo provides to society’ along with all the possibilities of mobility.
Mobility Beyond - Our passion and commitment
"Freedom" means overcoming constraints and limitations such as time and space through mobility, and providing an environment where many people can find freedom for themselves.
CEO Message
Beyond evolution: Co-creating society through mobility
Kohei Takeuchi
Our company name, Astemo, is derived from “Advanced Sustainable Technologies for Mobility.” The name embodies our strong commitment to providing safe, comfortable, and sustainable mobility life through technologies that contribute to an advanced and sustainable society. Mobility has helped overcome constraints of time and distance, supporting the development of society and culture. Now, we stand at the forefront of that evolution, bearing the mission of envisioning and realizing the next era of mobility with our own hands.
To clearly articulate this mission, we have formulated our MISSION, VISION, and VALUES (MVV) together with our associates around the world. The MISSION of “contributing to a sustainable society and improved quality of life by providing world-leading advanced mobility solutions” represents our reason for existence, which remains a constant across time.
In pursuit of this MISSION, we defined the “desired state” we seek to achieve in 10 years as our VISION, and the “values” and “decision-making standards” that each associate should embrace to realize our VISION as the six VALUES.
Our corporate slogan, “Mobility Beyond” embodies our desire to transcend national borders, cultures, industries, and organizational boundaries to expand freedom and possibilities for movement.
We aspire to go far beyond the traditional role of a parts manufacturer, and aim to transform into a comprehensive mobility solutions provider. We will continue to relentlessly pursue advanced technologies and strive toward realizing a sustainable society and improved quality of life.
Our path of Co-creation
To clearly express what we “should be” as Astemo
Astemo was established in 2021 through the integration of four companies, born during a once-in-a-century transformation in the automotive industry. In the midst of the greatly changing environment surrounding Astemo, we needed to further clarify our company’s presence and significance in mobility and society. To clearly express what we “should be” as Astemo, we have defined our MISSION, VISION and VALUES.
Astemo’s MVV (MISSION, VISION, VALUES) clearly defines our mission in society, our values, and behavioral guidelines. By sharing this MVV with colleagues around the world, we believe it will become the foundation of “One Astemo” and serve as a driving force for future growth.
Diverse discussions, driving the future of Astemo
Astemo's MVV creation project involved both executive officers and employees, sharing a unified sense of purpose, to set a foundation of values and ideals common to Astemo globally.
In the executive workshop, discussions were held on the themes of “MISSION,” “VISION,” and “VALUES,” clarifying the direction of Astemo's MVV—its purpose and the values it should uphold.
The executive workshop was followed by another workshop, with a diverse group of employees from different countries, cultures, and departments. Workshop members discussed the mission, values and vision in depth, taking on various topics, including "the future vision of Astemo and what is needed to achieve it" and "the values necessary for our employees, to achieve our mission and vision."
Empathy and Unity through Dialogue Sessions - Owning the MVV
To inspire all employees to empathize and "own" the MVV, we held “MVV Dialogue Sessions” for all global employees. Through the Sessions, our aim was to create opportunities for sharing understanding by explaining the meaning and importance of our MISSION, VISION, and VALUES, encouraging actions aligned with our VALUES, and deepening dialogue with members who carry out daily operations.
Participants provided comments such as the following, making the MVV Dialogue Session meaningful, inspiring each employee to develop a shared sense of purpose, in alignement with the MVV.
-
MISSION clarifies the future that the company aims for and considers how to achieve them.
-
I resonated with the phrase “Transcend limitations” It means breaking through one’s own limits and challenging new things.
-
I felt that practicing VALUES leads to One Astemo, One Team.
-
Embracing change and creating new value. Challenge new technologies and businesses together.
-
Now that we have Astemo’s own MVV, we are extremely excited to “build it ourselves”.
