The Pigeon DNA and the Pigeon Way
In order that all Pigeon employees should embody a baby-friendly world as we strive to realize our purpose, we have updated Pigeon Way. (February 14, 2023)
Together, the Pigeon DNA and the Pigeon Way comprise the Pigeon’s philosophy that each and every Pigeon employee upholds in the course of their duties.
The Pigeon DNA, made up of our Corporate Philosophy and Credo, has been the core of Pigeon throughout its history and will remain so into the future.
The Pigeon Way, made up of our Purpose, Values, and Action Principles, is the cornerstone of all our activities.
It embodies our “heart and soul” and sets the grounds for our actions to stream from this core.

Corporate Philosophy
The essence and core of our company
Love
Credo
Our fundamental belief based on the corporate philosophy
Only love can beget love
What is ultimately the most valuable asset of all humanity? I would say “the ability to treasure other people”, that is, “love”. This is the credo of the Pigeon Group. The Pigeon Group is a corporate entity that provides products and services for babies, children and those who need assistance. We won’t be able to generate products and services full of love if we lack the spirit ourselves. This is the same spirit that a mother feels for the precious baby she is nurturing. I believe the spirit of love is the foundation for all our business activities, and symbolizes the corporate philosophy of the Pigeon Group as a whole.
