Job Description

■Recruitment Background and Department Mission
UNIQLO, a core brand within the Fast Retailing Group, champions “LifeWear” (clothing designed to enrich the lives of everyone, the ultimate everyday wear) as its clothing philosophy. This embodies sustainability itself, and through all of our business activities, we aim to realize a sustainable society by joining forces with outstanding individuals and organizations who share our vision.

By providing people all over the world with the joy, happiness, and satisfaction of wearing good clothing, we aim to “change the world for the better.” That is the sustainability we strive for.
