Overview of the GLOBAL VISION CENTER

Fully operational since June 2021, the GLOBAL VISION CENTER, our global headquarters, has updated its office functions and working environment to better lead regional headquarters. It promotes beauty innovation by combining the workplace concept of the ”intersection of creativity” with function and design that allows one to experience the worldview of all the brands.

An online broadcasting studio has been set up in the center to quickly disseminate information to the global community both inside and outside the company. Also, to foster a corporate culture of diversity and a culture in which employees can respect each other and continue to innovate, a safe and comfortable environment for everyone has been established with the promotion of a universal design and the creation of spaces for collaboration inside and outside the company, such as the New Value Creation floor where employees can freely think in an extraordinary space, and a cafeteria that promotes communication among employees over meals. The interior design was made to express the brand's worldview across the entire floor, and by utilizing the architectural characteristics of the atrium and alternating the floors of the brand and corporate departments, it has enabled employees to feel the brand's worldview and develop a sense of involvement in the brand business, thereby contributing to beauty innovation for a better world.
