Message from CEO
In 1991, through the introduction of CI (Corporate Identity), the KOSÉ Group initiated the corporate philosophy “Create a culture and values embodying a distinctive beauty through a sophisticated fusion of sensuousness and intelligence,” and communicated our corporate message of “Creating beauty in a sustainable world” to the public. This message embodies our strong determination to generate all possible wisdom and beauty that can help people and our planet as a “Beauty Creation Company.”
In 1997, we formed a group-wide “Global Environment Committee” to promote social and environmental initiatives through “beauty”, including business activities and social efforts. In 2017, we signed the United Nations Global Compact, and are aiming to contribute to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) that only the KOSÉ Group can.
We are seeking to be a company that strives to color the hearts of people around the world with joy and continue to brighten them. Our vision for the future is to realize an environment where everyone can live safely while being grateful for the blessings of nature, and to bring about a future where everyone can choose their own beauty and grow while appreciating who they are.
To achieve this goal, we have formulated a sustainability strategy in our medium- to long-term vision called Vision for Lifelong Beauty Partner which we developed in 2024 with a view to the next ten years. Based on the strategy, we will sincerely address a variety of critical social and environmental issues and promote the initiative throughout the Group.
Under our medium- to long-term vision, we will strive to achieve both business growth and the realization of a sustainable society as a long-term partner that enriches the people around the world and the global environment.
