MARUI GROUP CO., LTD., announces that the Company was included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index for the eighth consecutive year. Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index is part of the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices, the globally recognized socially responsible investment* indices. The Company was ranked seventh in the world in the financial services sector, maintaining its position among the top 10 companies in the sector. The Company was also included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Asia Pacific Index, which comprises companies from the Asia Pacific region, for the nineth consecutive year.

* Socially responsible investment is an investment style that entails consideration of traditional investment standards based on financial information as well as environmental, social, corporate governance, and other factors pertaining to a company’s level of social responsibility.

Furthermore, MARUI GROUP has been selected for inclusion in the six ESG indexes that are utilized by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF).

Through appropriate information disclosure, we aim to further promote constructive dialogue with our stakeholders. To form the basis for such dialogue, we have been publishing and disclosing information in the form of “ESG DATA BOOK” and “IMPACT BOOK” every year.

The ESG DATA BOOK contains detailed ESG performance data. The IMPACT BOOK 2025 outlines the specific strategies behind the “economy driven by ‘Suki’*” that the Company aims to realize, as well as the path toward achieving its impact.

*The word “suki” can mean love, like, favor, passionate about, crazy about, adore, etc.

We are transitioning from our traditional business model integrating Retailing, FinTech, and Co-Creation Investments—toward a new model centered on FinTech: a business that supports “Suki”. Through this transformation, we aim to realize our vision of “transcending dichotomies between impact and profit.”

The Company aims to enhance stakeholder value by harmonizing and expanding the intersection between “interests” and “happiness” of six stakeholders: customers; shareholders and investors; employees; business partners; communities and society; and future generations.
