Our Goal

MARUI GROUP aspires to contribute to the creation of an inclusive society that offers happiness to all.

Through the exercise of its corporate philosophy of “continue evolving to better aid our customers” and “equate the development of our people with the development of our company,” MARUI GROUP strives to fulfill its mission of contributing to the co-creation of an inclusive society that offers happiness to all. To guide us in fulfilling this mission, we announced MARUI GROUP’s 2050 Vision, based on which we have been accelerating co-creative initiatives to build a better society and a happier tomorrow. These initiatives are being advanced through the collective efforts of members of the younger generations who will shape tomorrow’s world and members of prior generations who share our ideals. The concept of happiness, as viewed by MARUI GROUP, is not limited to economic enrichment. It also includes emotional fulfillment and entails individuals being in a state of empowered well-being. MARUI GROUP aspires to help create a society in which everyone can find their own ways of achieving happiness, regardless of their age, gender, nationality, physical characteristics, or circumstances.

Social experiments through business

MARUI GROUP is utilizing its unique business model merging retailing, fintech, and forward-looking investments to generate its desired impact.

As it seeks to generate earnings along with its desired impact, MARUI GROUP is advancing a unique business model that merges retailing and fintech, both of which have been a part of its business in some form since its founding, and forward-looking investments, which include co-creative investments and new business investments. Rather than advancing these three aspects of our business on a standalone basis, we strive to create synergies and innovations by combining our various assets in these areas. Moreover, MARUI GROUP aims to function as a social experiment, promoting the mutual sharing of assets with co-creative partners to conduct various experiments and foster innovations that will help shape the future.

Assets Amassed Over Long History and Strengths Based on Co-Creation of Creditability

MARUI GROUP boasts a portfolio of diverse assets amassed as it has steadily developed its business merging retailing and finance since its founding. These assets allow the Company to form connections with customers through the contact points that are its stores and through its credit cards. We complement these assets with our unique strengths based on the co-creation of creditability, our core value shaped by the belief of the Company’s founder that “creditability should be built together with customers.”

Assets and Strengths

Corporate Culture That Empowers Employees to Exercise Autonomy and Creativity Based on Their Interests

This transformation began with the implementation of eight measures in line with our corporate philosophy to create version 1.0 of our corporate culture, which was a culture of autonomy through action and voluntary participation. Today, we are developing version 2.0 of our corporate culture: a culture of acceptance toward failure and encouragement of ambition founded on the idea of “flow” defined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. We thereby aim to foster a corporate culture that empowers employees to voluntarily participate in the planning and development of businesses and to exercise autonomy and creativity based on their interests.
