Embarking on an era of decreased total population and consumption saturation, the retail industry is simultaneously required to both re-establish the business structure and reform within the business category. Seven & i Holdings will respond to these challenges and clarify the role sharing between pure holding companies performing business management and supervision, and business companies committing to the execution of their own businesses. The optimization of business portfolios under the broad concept that keeps up with the changing times, and the meticulous promotion of innovation performed by each business company, enable us to aim at the creation of a new retail industry, “a New, Comprehensive Lifestyle Industry”, which responds to customers’ needs.

New challenges, such as the electric money “nanaco” and a new private brand “Seven Premium,” have already been continuously executed by combining the abilities from respective companies under the group that is centered on the retail service business. In the future, further dynamic retail innovations will be implemented by exhibiting group synergy.

In addition, we will be pursuing the establishment of a new business model that is continuously growing in tandem with the society, by listening to the voices from stakeholders such as shareholders, customers, business partners, local communities, and employees, and working conscientiously on themes, such as relief/safety, that are strongly desired by the society.

“Breakthrough thinking” that designs the current situation on a new, blank piece of paper from ideal future images, rather than from ideas extended by the past experiences, will make Seven & i Holdings possible to advance endless self-innovation, and continue to challenge the maximization of our brand value.
