MARUI GROUP’s 2050 Vision

Harnessing the power of business to build a worldthat transcends dichotomies
MARUI GROUP practices forward-looking co-creation sustainability management, anapproach that merges its business, environmental, social issue response, and corporate
governance initiatives in an integrated manner.
We are focused on the concept of “inclusion” as the key to responding to customer needs
and social issues, which change with the times, and forging a better future.
Our promotion of the concept of inclusion and its incorporation into our businessstrategies led the market to judge that MARUI GROUP’s corporate value had improved.
Investors, however, voiced a need for the Company to・Present a long-term vision and long-term targets for accomplishing this vision;
・Disclose quantitative information on progress toward the long-term targets.
Based on this input, MARUI GROUP undertook the establishment of a long-term visionin December 2017. This process culminated in the announcement of MARUI GROUP’s
2050 Vision at the co-creation sustainability explanatory forum held for investors inDecember 2018 and subsequent discussions with stakeholders in this regard.
Going forward, MARUI GROUP will proceed to establish action plans for accomplishingits vision, examine long-term targets, and engage in ongoing dialogue to shape the future
together with all stakeholders. MARUI GROUP will continue to look toward the futurefrom an ultralong-term perspective, and we are marching forward as we identify the tasks
we can undertake today.
