Corporate Governance
Our basic stance to
corporate governance
At the time of its founding in October 1989, UNITED ARROWS LTD. defined its founding spirit as "contributing to society by setting new standards of Japanese lifestyle." The essence of this spirit has been maintained and its expressions updated to better match the times so that it can continue to function as the basis for the actions of all directors and employees as our Company Policy. In addition, we have defined our promise to society and the creation of value for five distinct stakeholders as key features of our Policy Structure. The five distinct stakeholders for which value is to be created are customers, employees, business partners, society, and shareholders. In this regard, the Company's mission is to increase value for all stakeholders.
In order to maintain the proper mindset that will allow us to realize our Company Policy, we put in place the Code of Conduct. This code expresses how we should think and act to achieve our stated goals.
Recognizing the critical need to build a transparent and fair management framework, along with a structure under which we are capable of making timely and bold decisions, we are committed to continuously strengthening and expanding our corporate governance capabilities and functions in order to realize our corporate philosophy, fulfill our promise to society, and create value for five distinct stakeholders. Through these means, we are working to enhance our corporate value on a long-term and continuous basis.
