Since our founding in 1953, the Shimamura Group has conducted sustainable corporate activities aimed at solving social issues through our business, by operating under a unique system based on low-cost operations.
However, the fashion industry faces a variety of challenges that need to be addressed, including mass production, mass consumption, mass disposal, and consideration of the environment and human rights during the manufacturing process.
As an clothing chain with 2,200 stores nationwide, we will take on these challenges and promote our 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 2026, the third 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 evolve and expand upon the initiatives under the motto of "Evolving Challenge" to promote Shimamura's own sustainability activities to solve social issues in the areas of environment, society, and governance through our business.
