100年企業が見つめ直す、
「働く意味」と「地域との関わり」

A century-old company reexamines
the meaning of work and its role in the community.

一家百年企業,重新思考
工作的意義,以及與地方共生的關係。

Okutomi Kosan has been operating a resource recycling business in Sayama, Saitama, and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2024. By transforming waste into valuable resources, the company provides an essential service that supports everyday life and the local community.
As it looks toward the next hundred years, the company set out to build an organization where every employee understands why their work matters and can speak about its value with confidence and pride. This branding project began with the development and visualization of the company's MVV, creating a shared foundation for the future.

奧富興產(Okutomi Kosan)於埼玉縣狹山市經營資源回收事業,並於 2024 年迎來創業一百週年。將廢棄物轉化為可再利用的資源,不僅是循環經濟的重要一環,更是支撐地方生活不可或缺的基礎設施。
展望下一個百年,企業希望讓每一位員工都能理解「自己的工作為何對地方不可或缺」,並能懷抱自豪地傳遞這份價值。因此,本次品牌專案以 MVV 的制定與可視化為核心,建立企業共同的理念基礎,為未來持續發展奠定方向。

「こんなことを考える機会がなかった」
という気づき

A chance to reflect on questions
no one had ever stopped to ask.

一次重新思考的機會,
讓人發現「原來從未認真想過這件事」

The project began with a seminar highlighting the importance of a shared philosophy, followed by a company-wide employee survey. From there, we facilitated a series of workshops with the project team. Although many participants were hesitant at first, they gradually became more open, actively sharing their thoughts and experiences with each session.
One comment stood out: “I've never had the chance to think about these things before. It was a truly valuable experience.” Through these conversations, employees rediscovered the value that had become so familiar in their daily work that it often went unnoticed. Recognizing that these everyday beliefs were, in fact, what made Okutomi Kosan unique became one of the project's most meaningful outcomes.

專案首先透過理念分享講座,讓全體員工理解企業理念的重要性,並同步進行全員問卷調查。之後,再由專案成員持續展開一系列工作坊。起初較為保守的員工,也在一次次交流中逐漸敞開心扉,開始主動分享自己的想法與工作經驗。
其中一句話令人印象深刻:「以前從來沒有機會認真思考這些事情,這是一段非常珍貴的過程。」透過這些對話,大家重新發現了那些因為太過日常而未曾意識到的價值,也共同理解到,正是這些看似理所當然的信念,構成了奧富興產最獨特的品牌特色。

「リサイクルで豊かさをつなぐ」
という新たな原点

"Connecting prosperity through recycling."
A new foundation for the future.

「以回收串連永續豐盛。」
企業邁向未來的全新原點。

Okutomi Kosan's new mission—“Connecting prosperity through recycling”—captures its commitment to creating lasting value for people, communities, and society through the continuous circulation of resources. More than a statement of purpose, it defines the company's role in shaping a more sustainable future.
To bring this philosophy into everyday practice, we established five guiding principles rooted in the realities of the workplace, giving shared language to values employees had long embodied instinctively. We also introduced the communication concept “A 100-Year Plan,” honoring the company's first century while setting a clear vision for the next. By placing meaningful words at the center of the brand, the project strengthens employees' sense of pride and deepens the trust the company has built within its community.

奧富興產提出全新的使命——「以回收串連永續豐盛」,透過資源循環,持續為人、地方與社會創造長久而豐盛的價值,重新定義企業在永續未來中的角色。
為了讓理念真正落實於日常,我們制定了五項源自第一線工作現場的行動準則,將員工一直以來自然實踐的價值觀轉化為全公司共同的語言。同時,我們提出了 「100 年之計」 作為品牌溝通主軸,以創業百年的歷史為根基,描繪下一個百年的發展願景。
透過清晰且一致的品牌語言,不僅凝聚了員工的認同與自豪,也持續深化企業與地方社會之間的信任關係。

言葉を形にし、
日常に根づかせていく

Turning ideas into action,
and making them part of everyday culture.

將理念化為行動,
讓價值真正扎根於日常。

To ensure the newly defined MVV became part of everyday behavior—not just words on paper—we developed a series of internal and external communication tools, including credo posters, a 100th anniversary direct mail campaign, and a regular company newsletter.
We also installed a large-scale sign within the recycling facility featuring a vision map that illustrates Okutomi Kosan's aspirations for the future of the community. Designed to be encountered naturally during daily work, it serves as a constant reminder for employees while helping visitors intuitively understand the company's philosophy.
Rather than simply celebrating the past, the 100th anniversary became an opportunity to start conversations about the future. With a renewed sense of purpose, Okutomi Kosan is already taking its first steps toward the next hundred years.

為了讓制定完成的 MVV 不只是停留在文字,而是真正融入日常工作與行動之中,我們規劃並設計了 Credo 海報、100 週年紀念 DM,以及定期品牌電子報等一系列品牌溝通工具。
此外,我們在廠區的資源分類場設置大型品牌看板,以描繪地方未來願景的 Vision Map,將奧富興產的理念具體可視化。這不僅讓員工在日常工作中能自然接觸並持續深化認同,也讓來訪者能直觀理解企業所堅持的價值與願景。
創業百年,不只是回顧過去的里程碑,更成為共同描繪未來的起點。奧富興產正帶著全新的品牌信念,邁向下一個百年。
