Notification

Outline of Shiseido Osaka Ibaraki Factory

The Osaka Ibaraki Factory manufactures prestige skincare products including the serum ULTIMUNE, which represents the brand SHISEIDO, and the global luxury brand Clé de Peau Beauté.
The factory, certified according to ISO 22716, fully utilizes its design capability and equipment to realize Shiseido’s “high quality” and deliver safe and secure products to consumers all over the world.
It also maintains a “sustainable factory for both people and society,” where the work environment is eco-friendly and comfortable, thereby fostering the growth of the people who work hard to produce "high quality" products.

1. Sustainable Factory

The factory consists of environmentally friendly facilities that conserve energy, water, etc. having received an A rank from Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE), which is highly regarded for factory buildings.
On top of that, the distribution center was built next to the factory as Shiseido’s first attempt to reduce CO₂ emissions during product delivery.

2. “PEOPLE FIRST” Workplace Environment

Under the belief that it is people who support delivering high quality services, we have created a work environment where productivity is maximized and new value creation is promoted by introducing the activity based working (ABW) concept,
which allows staff members to freely choose their working space, style, etc., and offers a large open plan space covering all office departments.
At the production site, staff members can enjoy a comfortable working environment with an automated material loading process.

3. Working Together with Local Communities

As a factory open to the local public, we will continue to consistently offer various events and activities with the aim of being a place for communication activities with private sectors, government offices, schools, and other organizations.
In addition to strengthening its presence as a production base, the factory will strive to become a base for communicating the brand value and our commitment to quality from Ibaraki City (also know as a part of Saito, urban community in which people live in harmony with nature) to people around the world so that the number of loyal Shiseido users will increase.
