Dow Jones Description

To express the FAST RETAILING spirit in a nutshell, we are all about innovation and challenge. The FAST RETAILING group is a group of companies that is willing to stand up and challenge the old existing bonds with strong conviction and high ambition in order to realize an even better world. We are changing the traditional structure of apparel retailing in Japan. And we are also changing the way that people view and value their clothes. We believe with all our hearts that our corporate group should be one that attracts people with a high ambition and standard. Our company should adhere to the management principle to realize good ideas, introduce them into the world, revolutionize, and thus contribute to society. Now, we are moving beyond the realm of Japan alone and aiming for the world. Now, we are moving beyond the world of casual clothes. We are looking to become a corporate group of people who can design and produce really good clothes to enrich the lives of people throughout the world. Then, having got that message across to the consumer and sold them clothes, we would go on and deliver something even better. The FAST RETAILING group staff will of course work closely with our partners around the world to realize this ideal.
