We characterize our environment in a statement of corporate philosophy called the "TAISEI Principles" which defines the kind of company we are and aspire to become. TAISEI Principles serve as a guide for our actions around the world and ultimately inspire us to go that extra mile that forms the basis of our "winning culture".

Below are the core elements of the TAISEI Principles:

	Customers: We believe in creating repeat customers by providing an over-all superior experience. For us, Customer service is not a department, it’s an attitude.
	Products: We are committed to providing the best testing products that adhere to the world standards & outperform the competition through sheer performance.
	Global Citizenship: We believe in participating responsibly in this global market-place. We are committed to understanding and respecting the laws, values and cultures wherever and with whomever we do business, profitably growing in all markets; promoting a healthy business climate globally & contributing positively in every community we call home, both personally and organizationally.
	Taisei Culture: We believe in being ethical, responding to customer needs in timely and reasonable manner, fostering open communications and building effective relationships with customers, partners, suppliers and each other and in operating without inefficient hierarchy and bureaucracy.
	The Taisei Team: We believe the quality of our work depends on the quality of our people. Our continued success lies in teamwork and the opportunity each team member has to learn, develop & grow. We are committed to developing, retaining and attracting the best people, reflective of our Principals worldwide.
	Winning: We have passion for winning in everything we do. We are committed to operational excellence, customer satisfaction, leading in the markets we serve, being known as a great company and great place to work and providing better return–on–investment to our customers and share–holders.
