We, the Seven & i Group, are committed to creating a sustainable society

based on the corporate creed of "We aim to be a sincere company that all our stakeholders, including our customers, business partners, shareholders, local communities, franchisees and employees, trust".

In 2014, with the goal of solving social issues, we identified several material issues than can be addressed within our business domain and set about tackling them.

As a consequence of changes in the times and the environment, social issues are increasingly becoming more diverse, and as our business domain expands, the demands that society places on us are becoming more urgent. In 2022, in order to promptly and appropriately respond to such changes we revised our material issues after repeated consultations with all our stakeholders,

We, the Seven & i Group, will continue to work to solve social issues through our business activities with the goal of creating a sustainable society together with all of you.

Ryuichi Isaka, President and Representative Director of Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd.
