Our Goal

Supporting "Suki"

Our Management Vision: The “Suki” Economy

As its management vision for 2031, the year of its 100th anniversary, Marui Group has set forth the “Suki” Economy to realize its vision of “building a world that transcends dichotomies of impact and profit.” Unlike the deflationary economy focused solely on cost performance, which prioritizes price and functionality, the “Suki” Economy is a new economic sphere powered by individuals pursuing "Suki," in line with their values and emotions. By creating an economy driven by "Suki," we aim to build a society where everyone can find joy not only in their daily lives but also in their work, and live with hope for the future.

Businesses that Support "Suki"

The platform for realizing the “Suki” Economy that we are championing will be provided by the businesses that support "Suki."

Ever since our founding, we have pursued initiatives based on a business model that combines retail with fintech, in ways that have evolved to match the needs of the times. As we work to bring about an economy driven by the pursuit of "Suki," we will transform our businesses to focus on supporting "Suki" in all domains, not only retail and fintech, but also in terms of co-creative investments, people, and organizations.

Consumption that expands to support individuals and society through "Suki"

When businesses support "Suki," spending on oneself ends up benefiting others, which in turn ultimately benefits society. In this way, we aim to balance impact and profit.

For us, “Suki” encompasses not only animation, artists, and characters, but also art, sports, pets, culture, and the countless other "Suki" that each individual holds dear.

By combining each individual’s "Suki" with the assets and expertise of Marui Group, we will develop businesses that turn consumption from the simple act of purchasing goods into a force that allows consumers to address social issues without having to think consciously about it.

Co-creating
an inclusive
society
that offers happiness to all

In line with our corporate philosophy, which calls on us to “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 co-creating 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. Guided by our vision of the “Suki” Economy, we will achieve a balance between societal impact and profit.

Business Strategy

A platform built on a modelthat integrates events,goods, and credit card businesses

The platform for business that supports "Suki" is a model that integrates events, goods, and credit card businesses.

Utilizing the retail know-how we have cultivated through our experience in operating self-managed sales floors and planning and manufacturing private-brand products, we will host events that offer highly satisfying experiences in line with customers’ "Suki," as well as supply goods to meet customers’ needs.

By also introducing customers to EPOS cards that support "Suki" in ways that meet their needs in diverse "Suki," such as animation, sports, or artists, we will increase our contact with customers in marketing areas where there are no Marui stores, and promote growth in the number of cardholders.

Leveraging the "Suki"of each individual for business development

Marui Group develops new businesses by leveraging the "Suki" of each individual.

In March 2026, we held the Contest for Supporting "Suki." While this business competition was previously limited to employees, this time, we also welcomed participants from outside the company.

By creating more opportunities to leverage "Suki" through competitions and other initiatives, we will expand businesses that make use of intangible assets such as ideas, knowledge, and expertise.

In addition to our ongoing efforts to pursue innovation through co-creative investments, we will also work to nurture social intrepreneurs (entrepreneurial employees) who strive to change society while remaining within the company.

Corporate Culture

A corporate culturewhere employees
exercise autonomy
and creativity based
on "Suki"

In line with our corporate philosophy, which calls on us to “equate the development of our people with the development of our company,” Marui Group has worked to transform its corporate culture in order to foster innovation, recognizing that human capital, including its employees, is a fundamental driver of corporate value creation.

We began by building Corporate Culture 1.0, “a culture of autonomy through action and voluntary participation,” through eight initiatives based on our corporate philosophy. Now, centered on the concept of “flow,” we are taking on the challenge of building Corporate Culture 2.0, “a culture of acceptance toward failure and encouragement of ambition.” We are working to cultivate a corporate culture in which employees can voluntarily participate in the planning and operation of businesses, using "Suki" as a starting point for autonomy and creativity.
