Since its establishment in 1953, the Shimamura Group has been conducting sustainable (sustainable) corporate activities to solve social issues through its business by operating under a "unique structure"based on low-cost operations. However, the fashion industry faces various issues that need to be resolved, such as mass production, mass consumption, mass destruction, and environmental and human rights considerations in the manufacturing process.　As a clothing chain store with 2,200 stores in Japan, we will promote sustainable corporate activities.

To further promote sustainability in our corporate activities, since FY2021 we have been introducing policies and systems, framing ESG issues as initiatives for achieving our Management Plan, setting new materiality, and creating the foundation for Shimamura's own sustainability activities.

In 2025, the second year of our "The Next Challenge (Pursuing Further Growth)" Medium-Term Management Plan 2027, we will build on the foundation we have already constructed and take on various challenges to promote Shimamura's own sustainability activities to solve social issues in the areas of environment, society, and governance through our business.

We engage in environmentally-friendly business activities for the environment. These activities include reducing waste by recycling and reuse, developing sustainable products and reducing CO₂ emissions.

We are aiming to continue developing and growing together with our customers, business partners and communities while promoting the creation of an environment where our employees can work comfortably and with satisfaction for society.

We are aiming to further increase the trust and credibility placed in us by all our stakeholders, achieve continuous business growth and improve our medium- to long-term corporate value by strengthening our governance structure, enhancing dialogue with shareholders and investors and thoroughly implementing risk management for governance.

The Shimamura Group will contribute to sustainability activities over the entire fashion industry by promoting sustainable Shimamura-style sustainability activities through our core business and becoming a good company for all of our stakeholders.
