With Society and the Earth

Contribution to society

Shiseido engages in a broad dialogue with society and strives to cooperate in solving social challenges.

1. We strive to meet the expectations of global society through various activities, such as using the power of beauty to lift people's spirits and improve their quality of life, promoting gender equality in the workplace and in society, promoting the arts and culture, and implementing environmental initiatives.

2. We aim to deepen our interaction with communities where our affiliates are located and contribute to their development, thereby fulfilling our responsibility as a good corporate citizen.

Core Areas of Social Contribution Activities

In line with the Shiseido Code of Conduct and Ethics and corporate materiality, Shiseido has defined core areas of social contribution activities in “society” and the “environment.” In particular, in the area of “society,” Shiseido is promoting initiatives that address "gender equality" and "Empowering People Through the Power of Beauty" with the participation of employees, utilizing our mission as a beauty company and our experience and knowledge accumulated through internal initiatives. In addition, as part of our efforts to support local communities and disaster relief, we will fulfill our responsibilities as a corporate citizen by working with employees to respond to issues faced locally, particularly in areas where our business sites are located.

System and Governance of Social Contribution Activities

The Chief DE&I Officer is responsible for social contribution activities. Key operations related to social contribution activities are promoted and the results are compiled by the departments in charge at the Global Headquarters (Sustainability Strategy Acceleration Department, DE&I Strategy Acceleration Department, and People & Culture Division) in collaboration with the relevant departments, brands, and Regional Headquarters. In addition, sustainability promotion officers at the Overseas Regional Headquarters lead a team and work with the Global Headquarters to promote and manage social contribution activities in each country and region.
