G-AsiaPacific became part of the ITOCHU Group, joining one of Japan’s leading global trading and investment companies. With ITOCHU’s backing, we combine the strength and stability of a global group with the local expertise our customers across ASEAN rely on.
Founded in 1858 by Chubei Itoh, ITOCHU Corporation is a Tokyo-headquartered general trading company (sogo shosha) listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Today, ITOCHU operates across textiles, machinery, metals and minerals, energy and chemicals, food, general products and realty, and information and communications technology (ICT) and finance, with investments in Japan and around the world.
ITOCHU’s founding philosophy, “Sampo-yoshi”, means “good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society”. It reflects how we work at G-AsiaPacific: building long-term value for our customers, our partners and the communities we serve.
Guided by “Sampo-yoshi” (good for the seller, good for the buyer and good for society), the ITOCHU Group treats addressing global environmental and social issues as a top management priority, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Global Compact.
We respond to climate change, prevent environmental pollution and manage our environmental impact through clear reduction targets, regular monitoring, and an environmental management system based on ISO 14001.
We respect the human rights of all our stakeholders, following the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, with human rights due diligence and awareness training for all employees across the ITOCHU Group.
