Presenting Hotelie Hall of Fame Story - Chiaki Tanuma MPS '80
An excerpt from Chiaki's story...
When Chiaki Tanuma’s father Bunzo Tanuma founded his first food service business in 1947, the war had just ended, and he aspired to “do work that contributes to society” as a means of honoring the lives of his subordinates who died during the war. To address the food shortage after the war, Bunzo Tanuma went out of his way to source food to take care of student meals in the dormitory of Keio University, and even provided free meals to students without money.
From this humble beginning, Green House Group’s guiding principle has been “making others happy leads to our own prosperity.” This simple yet very power motto has guided the company for the past 75+ years on how to run their business and how to treat their customers, partners, the society, and most importantly their employees and their families.
