「As part of our sustainability initiatives, we are pursuing various measures to address social issues, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting plastic use. In the department store business, we worked to reduce food waste and clothing waste by reducing organic waste at all stores, operating food drives at some stores and conducting clothing collection campaigns. In December, we were recognized as an “A List company,” the highest rating in the climate change assessment by CDP, an international environmental nonprofit organization.」

「As part of our sustainability initiatives, we engaged in dialogue with business partners to implement supply chain management that takes the environment and human rights into account, and announced our support for the Partnership Building Declaration. In the “think good” campaign, a sustainability initiative conducted through the department store business, the “Denim de Mirai” project received the Topic Award at the Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix hosted by The Mainichi Newspapers. To conserve resources, we joined the “POOL PROJECT TOKYO” plastic resource circulation initiative, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we began construction to install a PPA-model, on-site-consumption solar power generation facility at the Mitsukoshi Isetan logistics center.」

「In May 2022, we held a Sustainability Promotion Committee meeting to promote and embed across all group companies the direction and key initiatives of the Mitsukoshi Isetan Group’s sustainability activities. Approximately 150 people, including the CEO as chair and officers of group companies, participated. They confirmed the actions required to achieve medium- to long-term targets for six working groups, including supply chains, resources and the environment, and diversity and inclusion. As part of sustainability activities through the department store business, we also conducted the “think good” campaign from March through April 2022. Under the “Denim de Mirai” initiative, used Levi’s® 501® stock was upcycled into more than 200 types of items through the efforts of more than 60 brands, creators, artists and students, from fashion to lifestyle.」

「Our group announced its support for the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures). Key initiatives include an ongoing trial at Isetan Shinjuku of energy-saving AI smart air conditioning, and the switch at Isetan Urawa in March 2022 to electricity derived 100% in substance from renewable energy.」

「In November, we published the “Mitsukoshi Isetan Holdings Sustainability Report 2021” for the first time and set medium- to long-term targets. The report describes various initiatives toward realizing a sustainable society together with performance data, and we will continue working to achieve our environmental targets and expand initiatives unique to the company.」

「Sustainability initiatives in the department store business are being conducted under the motto “think good,” which conveys the idea of starting by using our imagination and thinking sincerely. We held campaigns at both flagship stores and Mitsukoshi Ginza. Specific examples included events with business partners and people engaged in social activities to communicate measures addressing climate change under the theme of “upcycling,” as well as proposals for environmentally conscious product assortments and services.」

「Since April, 株式会社三越伊勢丹 has been pursuing sustainability activities under the motto “think good,” which conveys the idea of starting by using our imagination and thinking sincerely. Focusing on three areas, products, services and communications, we will continue expanding our initiatives through physical stores and online stores, including “sustainable product assortments” to support local producers and protect the environment, “promoting the 4Rs” to promote resource circulation, and “communicating culture, skills and sensibility” to pass on culture.」

「In our CSR activities, we have established an internal Sustainability Promotion Committee and are pursuing initiatives to respond to issues and demands arising from a changing society, while incorporating ESG and SDG perspectives.」
