Ryohin Keikaku and Sustainability

Basic Policy and ESG Management Structure

A Consistent Commitment to ESG since Day One

Ryohin Keikaku’s MUJI brand has consistently served society as a whole since day one. Our core value is “to contribute to society and people.” This is a value that is rooted in all of our business activities.
We continue to create products with social and environmental consideration in mind based on three perspectives: selection of materials, streamlining of processes and simplification of packaging. We are committed to developing no-frills, quality products. This includes selecting materials that take the environment and producers into consideration, minimizing waste in all processes, and providing customers with what they need, in the form they want. Our policy will not change as we work toward a better society over the next 100 years. To realize a "truthful and sustaible life for all," we will contribute to a sustaible society while achieving circularity and coexisting with nature, and make efforts to reduce our environmental burden and to respect individual human rights throughout the entire lifespan of our products and through all of our services and business activities.

ESG Management Structure

The president & representative director chairs the ESG Management Committee, which addresses medium- and long-term Company-wide ESG issues. Inside directors, executive officers, managers and members in charge of related business divisions participate in the committee’s monthly meeting. At least twice a year, the Board of Directors receives reports on sustainability and ESG management initiatives from the Corporate Communications ＆ ESG Management Development Division, which is the administrative support office of the ESG Management Committee. The Board of Directors supervises the progress of measures and achievement of targets, and discusses and provides guidance on policies and initiatives.
ESG subcommittees in each division meet once a month in principle. Members formulate short-, medium- and long-term ESG targets and roadmaps based on our material issues and are working to further incorporate ESG management into our business activities and create value unique to Ryohin Keikaku. The progress of each division is reported to the ESG Management Committee and discussions take place among the inside directors, executive officers, managers and people in charge of related business divisions.
Reports are also made to the Board of Directors. The ESG targets of each division are also incorporated into the individual targets of the persons responsible in each division. For officer remuneration,non-monetary compensation is set according to the degree of achievement of ESG targets.
