"VISION 2030", our medium- to long-term management strategy framework
Business Policy
Wacoal Group is developing inner wear businesses largely in Japan, the US, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia with “Our Mission” and “Founding Principles”—which we have carried on during our over 70 years of business—as our foundation. We see our future “opportunities for growth” as the times that each company within our business takes on increasingly complex and diverse social issues, and through our business, we will promote “sustainability management” (which aims to strike a balance between solving social issues and sustainable growth) in order to improve our corporate value.
Additionally, our business activities are built upon “relationships founded in mutual trust,” which are based on our listening to the voice of each and every one of our customers, and continuously transforming our business with a sense of humility. We aim to become a necessary part of society by continuing to work on enhancing the transparency of our corporate management and ensuring their fairness and independence in order to build mutual trust in relationships with every stakeholder—including shareholders, customers, employees, business partners and the local community.
"VISION 2030", our medium- to long-term management strategy framework
With the aim of putting the WACOAL Way into practice, we have formulated VISION 2030 by backcasting from long-term goals while keeping in mind the issues of our business, customer values, and changes in society and the environment. Based on this vision, our 2030 goal is to evolve and grow into a “Global Wacoal Group” by capitalizing on quality and our heightened sensibility to provide each customer with physical and emotional beauty and enrichment. In achieving sustained growth and enhancing enterprise value, we will improve domestic profitability and expand our business areas, expand overseas businesses and transform them into highly profitable structures, strengthen the Group’s management capabilities, and shift to more capital-efficient management.

Main Goals of Initiatives
VISION 2030 Components
To evolve as a corporate group needed by customers and society and achieve its new Mission, the Wacoal Group has established VISION 2030, a medium- to long-term management strategy framework that sets forth the strategies and initiatives that the Group must pursue in the period through 2030. VISION 2030 calls on us to evolve and grow into a “Global Wacoal Group” by capitalizing on quality and our heightened sensibility to provide each customer with physical and emotional beauty and enrichment. In addition, the vision comprises three elements: a management strategy, material issues, and the Guidelines for the Actions of Officers and Employees.
