What is Beauty?

OUR DNA

OUR DNA is the very essence of Shiseido. It has been passed down since our founding in 1872, and to this day – for every employee – it is at the core of everything we do.

PEOPLE FIRST: For Shiseido, people are everything. Without employees, business partners and stakeholders, innovation would not be possible. We work closely with all of our people to develop and deliver new value to society and consumers around the world.

DIVERSITY: We believe that simply embracing diversity is no longer enough. We will go one step further and love the differences in every one, combining unique values, personalities and ideas to continuously inspire innovation.

ART & SCIENCE: Ever since our founding, we have always blended art and science. Going forward, we will continue to adopt, adapt and fuse technology with creativity to inspire new and unique value.

JAPANESE AESTHETICS: We have been cultivating our sensitivity to beauty based on Japanese culture and tradition. It is a loving sensitivity to beauty that exists not only in the individual, but also in society and nature. We will continue to sharpen our unique Japanese aesthetics to ensure ever-evolving beauty innovations.

UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY: From R&D and production to marketing and sales, we promise to never compromise quality and always comply with our stringent internal standards and external regulations to earn the trust of consumers around the world.

OMOTENASHI: Omotenashi is the key to touching the hearts of consumers around the world. For every Shiseido employee – not only those in direct interaction with consumers – the spirit of omotenashi is ever-present.

OUR PRINCIPLES
(TRUST 8)

OUR PRINCIPLES serve as the working principles that every Shiseido employee must follow. These eight working principles – known as "TRUST 8" – are based on the idea that mutual trust is the key to succeeding in OUR MISSION.
