Our Journey of Transformation
to the Ultimate Supply Chain

We Make, Transport and Sell
Only What Is Necessary
We drive transformation initiatives to
develop the ultimate supply chain.

LifeWear has been embraced
around the world.
We have the ambition to become
the world's top apparel retailer.

Fast Retailing, which is best known for its brand UNIQLO that originated in Japan, currently has more than 3,500 store locations in 26 countries and regions worldwide (as of November 2019).

Why do many customers around the world embrace our clothing? And why is this embrace still growing? Underlying it is the UNIQLO LifeWear concept that embodies our philosophy of clothing. It is people’s growing appreciation of the LifeWear concept that has underpinned the growth of UNIQLO and Fast Retailing to date.

LifeWear is clothing inspired by completely new ideas and it fundamentally changes the concept of clothing that has its origin in the West. LifeWear is clothing designed to make everyone's life better. It is simple, high-quality, everyday clothing with a practical sense of beauty, ingenious in detail, thought through with life's needs in mind, and always evolving.

While striving for LifeWear, we are working to plan, produce, distribute, and retail only what is necessary and deliver the products that customers really want in a way that is most convenient and efficient for them.

“We always have the products that customers want.”
Fast Retailing will be the world’s first to achieve this basic premise of business

Fast Retailing has the ambition to become the world’s top apparel retailer.

To this end, it is critical that we let go of past successes and continue to grow in response to the needs of the times. While striving for LifeWear, we are making organizational efforts to create a new digital consumer retail industry in a project called Ariake.

In the Ariake Project, we will embark on a grand journey of transformation to the ultimate supply chain that puts customers at the heart of every facet of our business activities, which no other company in the world has achieved yet.

“We always have the products that customers want.”

We always have the products that customers want—we believe this is the basic premise of business. No company in the world has yet perfectly succeeded in achieving it. We have determined and committed to becoming the world’s first to achieve this basic premise of business.

We Make, Transport and Sell Only What Is Necessary.
This is the ultimate supply chain we are striving for.

The Ariake Project is not just about improving the distribution process. It will transform all our supply chain processes to deliver the right products at the right price, in the right quantities, in the right place, and at the right time for our customers in a way that is most convenient and efficient for them. Our transformation initiatives are all inspired by the idea of putting customers at the heart of every facet of our business activities. In advancing these initiatives, we will make effective use of resources and never make disposable clothing to contribute to the permanent growth and development of society.

These are the reasons that we give supply chain transformation the highest priority in our management agenda and intend to devote all our resources to it. Fast Retailing offers a great, unprecedented opportunity for you to lead company-wide supply chain transformation initiatives through direct discussion with its top management.
