About this Report
Publication of Integrated Report 2022
BEAUTY INNOVATIONS FOR A BETTER WORLD. Our corporate mission guides everything we do at Shiseido. As one of the outcomes of our vision for 2030, we are committed to finding solutions to social issues to realize a sustainable world where everyone can enjoy a lifetime of happiness through the power of beauty.
To realize this goal, Shiseido is implementing reforms in every major aspect, taking into account environmental changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a strategy for further growth starting in 2023, we have launched a medium-term strategy, SHIFT 2025 and Beyond, as we aim to become the world’s No.1 company in the skin beauty area.
To help better convey Shiseido's value creation efforts, our Integrated Report 2022 includes many candid essays from CEO Masahiko Uotani and Kentaro Fujiwara, appointed as President and COO starting in 2023, as well as other executive officers and external directors. In developing content for this year’s report, we conducted discussions based on integrated thinking, which included reviewing the value creation process, examining our capital, and organizing financial and non-financial investments to date.
We have also transformed the report using designs and modes of digital expression that represent who we are as a beauty company. At the same time, we realize the need to improve ease of use and readability. The report includes various usability features, including a search function and published a text version (PDF) to accommodate all our users.
Shiseido views the Integrated Report as a valuable disclosure document that conveys our value creation efforts as well as a communication tool that promotes dialogue both internally and externally. In producing the report, the Investor Relations Department took the lead and worked closely with the departments in charge of areas that include management strategy, sustainability strategy, R&D, human resources, D&I, legal affairs, finance, and risk management. Going forward, we will continue to actively engage in discussions on value creation across departments.
We hope that this report will be a valuable tool for dialogue with our stakeholders.
