Promotion of CSR Activities

We develop, manage, and operate mainly large-scale mall complexes that fulfill multiple functions for wide trading areas, and are well aware that the opening of our malls can greatly influence the economy, society, and the environment of host communities. The growth and development of malls are of importance not only to customers who shop there but also to those who work at these facilities, including ÆON MALL and tenant store employees, cleaning and security staff, and maintenance personnel. Similarly, the malls we develop are equally vital to specialty store companies as to local economies. To bring smiles and satisfaction to our customers and people in host communities, we will strive to build a relationship of prosperous coexistence between us and all stakeholders with the aim of creating shopping malls that develop in tandem with the local communities, while seeking to balance the economy, society, and the environment.

CSR Promotion Structure

To promote Company-wide CSR activities, we hold a monthly meeting of the ÆON MALL SR (Social Responsibility) Council, chaired by the President, with directors and managers responsible for every division also sitting as council members, to address topics related to the environment, social contributions, and compliance. The aim of this meeting is to share goals and issues for the promotion of CSR activities, and to take swift action on these. Going forward, we will record steady progress in such areas as promotion of energy-saving initiatives, safe and comfortable shopping mall operations, robust activities in collaboration with tenants, and responses to the Japanese version of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (J-SOX).
