ARCS Group creates social and environmental value based on the relationships of trust we have cultivated with stakeholders over many years of doing food supermarket business in each region, and helps their daily lives of our customers sustainable as a lifeline for each region.
We believe that this is the source of our sustainable development. At the same time, we are also required to continue playing our role as public listed company in Prime Market.

We aim to become a corporate entity that achieve financial value as well as environmental and social value. In the midst of major changes of external environment, we must take closer position and do more helpful to our customers than ever before, and we will explain and disclose to our customers what we are putting into practice in corporate management. We recognize it will be more important to continue this action. We hope that this page will help you promote better understanding of our group's activities on sustainability field. We would like to ask shareholders to expect the further growth of ARCS Group and appreciate your warm and continuing support.

Sustainability Policy and Structure

In April 2022, we formulated our "Sustainability Promotion Policy" and "Materiality on Sustainability".We established Sustainability Promotion Committees at each Group company. In line with the materiality, we sort out group-wide measures and Group company’s individual measures and incorporate them into action plans to enhance the effectiveness of our initiatives. We will contribute to the sustainable society through our business activities by leveraging the strengths of the Yatsugatake Mountain Range Management.

Sustainability Promotion Policy

 The following policies have been established to deepen our activities to realize sustainable society.

Based on the ARCS Group philosophy of "contributing to affluent lifestyles by providing valuable merchandise and services at low prices as a lifeline for each community," we aim for a sustainable society and grow as a group with our stakeholders through our business activities, and play a social role as a linking bridge to the future for the community.
