In 2011, we faced a range of social and economic issues,

including insecurity caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake,

the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, and natural disasters that

occurred across the world. Amid the dramatically changed

environment, the Aeon Group earned the highest operating

revenue among Japanese retailers in the previous �scal year by

adhering to “Customer-First” philosophy and responding

promptly to these changes. For us, however, this represents just

one of the milestones toward achieving the ultimate goal, which is

to become the No.1 retail group in Asia that contributes to the

peace and prosperity for the bene�t of all our customers. As the

�rst step to attaining this goal, we formulated the Aeon Group

Medium-term Management Plan (�scal 2011 through �scal 2013)

and allocated our management resources to areas with growth

potential, in line with our strategy of shifting the focus of our

business to the Asian markets, urban markets, senior markets,

and to the digital markets.

Since 2008, we have been implementing structural reforms

across the Group. Speci�cally, we have established a new

management system under a pure holding company, consoli-

dated the common functions that used to be ful�lled individually

by Group companies, such as product procurement, distribution,

and IT functions, and promoted the specialization of Group

companies through the reduction of intra-Group business

duplication and business function dispersion. In the previous

�scal year, we restructured our GMS Business. For example, the

Discount Store Business, Strategic Small Size Store Business,

and Neighborhood Shopping Center (NSC) business of Aeon

Retail Co., Ltd. were spun off to Aeon Group companies leading

these respective business areas, and Aeon Retail Co., Ltd., Mycal

Corporation, and Aeon Marché Co., Ltd. were integrated into a

single company. At the same time, we improved our brand

recognition based on the “one brand for one format” policy,

which means using a single brand name for each retail format; for

example, “Aeon” for all our GMS, and “Aeon Mall” for all our

shopping malls. We also enhanced our competitiveness by

promoting economy of scale. In addition, we fostered a locally-

rooted management of Group companies to win more support

from local customers. Through these initiatives, the Aeon Group

aims to become a group of competitive companies and

businesses and achieve further growth in the future through its

integrated Group strength.

Working to Become the No.1 Super-Regional Retailer in Asia

In order to implement “glocal management,” which combines

overarching global management practices with locally rooted

management, not only in Japan but also in China and ASEAN, we

are establishing a management system based on three headquar-

ters for Japan, China, and ASEAN. The headquarters for China

started operations in March 2012 and the headquarters for ASEAN

will also start operations within this �scal year. We will accelerate

the expansion of our business in Asia based on this three

headquarters-based structure, making full use of the integrated

power of the Group and mobilizing a concerted effort across the

retail, Shopping Senter Development, Financial Services, and

Service Businesses.

In every country and region where we operate, we are committed

to “pursuing peace, respecting humanity, and contributing to local

communities, always with the customer’s point of view as its core”

as our unchanging principles, which have been followed since the

establishment of the company, while at the same time embracing

our “Customer-First” philosophy. Aiming to serve as a “lifeline”

provider for local communities, the Aeon Group will strive to truly

become the No. 1 super-regional retailer in Asia by gathering all

the strength of Group companies and individual employees.

We are currently operating in 12 countries, regarding Japan

and other Asian countries as a single market. In the Asian

region, which is demonstrating remarkable economic growth,

we are accelerating the opening of shopping centers, in

which GMS are located as core stores. Based on the

Shopping Center Business, we are pursuing an integrated

Group approach to Asian business development, through the

linkage of multiple forms of business, such as the credit

card, services, and Specialty Store Businesses. Also in order

to implement “glocal management” which combines

overarching global management practices with local,

community-based management, we are pushing forward to

set up three headquarters responsible for Japan, China, and

ASEAN, respectively. In the Asian region including China,

Thailand, and Vietnam, we are developing and manufacturing

our Topvalu private brand products, while creating employ-

ment and improving the skills of local people to contribute to

the revitalization of the local economy.

Principle

We are Aeon.Okadaya, one of the forebears of Aeon, was founded in 1758.

Throughout the generations since its establishment, the philoso-

phy of listening to customers and looking at business from the

customers’ perspective has continuously guided Aeon’s efforts

toward innovation. In 1970, Jusco Co., Ltd. was established

through a business partnership between three local companies—

Okadaya, Futagi, and Shiro. Subsequently on August 21, 2001,

Jusco Co., Ltd. changed its name to Aeon Co., Ltd. Then on

August 21, 2008, Aeon Co., Ltd. transformed itself into a pure

holding company to increase the corporate value of the entire

Aeon Group as the core company of the Group. We will continue

to contribute to the peace and prosperity of Asia, embracing our

“Customer-First” philosophy.

The Retail Business is a Symbol of Peace

Although the company store was burned down in an air raid

during World War II, Okadaya resumed its operation in the March

of the following year after the end of the war in 1945. In July of

the same year, Okadaya issued a lea�et with the slogan,

“Developing out of the ashes” to announce its �rst major postwar

sale, marking the company’s fresh new start. Some customers

held the lea�et in their hands and tearfully exclaimed, “This tells

me that peaceful times have �nally arrived.” Seeing this, Takuya

Okada, President of Okadaya (present Honorary Chairman and

Advisor of Aeon Co., Ltd.) was convinced that “without peace,

people cannot shop and businesses cannot survive,” a notion

that gave rise to one of Aeon’s principles—“The retail business

is a symbol of peace.” Based on this principle, we are conduct-

ing a range of activities, including giving support to disaster-

affected areas in Japan and around the world and supporting

projects to build schools in Asia.

Education is Vital to Well-BeingThe retail business is a people’s business that values the

development of personal relationships through daily interactions

with customers. Aeon believes that enhancing employee skills

and knowledge leads to higher customer satisfaction while the

growth of employees as professionals and individuals that

education can unlock is of the utmost importance to promoting

employee well-being. Since the establishment of the “Okadaya

Management College” in 1964, Aeon has expanded its education

system to include in-house certi�cation programs such as the

“Fresh Fish Master” and “Bicycle Advisor” to develop specialized

personnel, and training programs such as the “Supporters of

People Who Suffer from Dementia” and “Service Care Workers”

to ensure a comfortable shopping environment for all of its

customers. Moreover, we host a joint career open house of Aeon

Group companies in various countries to foster globalization in

employment and promote the development of human resources

of international caliber. We are also promoting the locally-rooted

management practices by our staff across the world.

Serving as a “Lifeline” Provider for Local Communities

The retail business is rooted in and grows together with the local

community. Aeon shopping centers support and enhance the

everyday lives of people in the community by offering not only

products but also the services of government facilities, banks,

clinics, movie theaters, and more. Aeon also works as a member

of the community to revitalize the local economy and culture

through social contribution initiatives, including the “Aeon Happy

Yellow Receipt Campaign” and local cleanup activities and by

participating in and hosting local festivals. In the face of the Great

East Japan Earthquake, we reaf�rmed the mission that retailers

must ful�ll as an industry, namely, the important role of social

infrastructure: we should help consumers continue to lead

ordinary lives by ensuring that they can

buy what they need easily. Based on

this recognition, Aeon will continue to

support the recovery of the disaster-

af�icted areas on a long-term basis,

serving as a “lifeline” provider for local

communities.

Generating synergies from competitive companies and businesses and using our integrated strength for customers

210h×594w (297/297)mm

The Aeon Group is composed of about 200

companies with the pure holding company,

Aeon Co., Ltd., as its core. Since the shift to

the pure holding company system in August

2008, we have been restructuring the Group

and reforming its management system. While

enhancing our competitiveness in each

business in line with the policies of “one brand

for one format,” “specialization,” and “locally-

rooted management,” we are endeavoring to

increase the corporate value as a strong

group comprising competitive companies and

businesses through synergies created by the

use of the shared function companies that

support the operating companies in the

Group.

Topvalu Premium is the brand that offers products using high quality materials and

manufacturing methods that support the changes in body shape and lifestyle

that occur with aging.

Topvalu Gurinai is the brand for processed foods of produce, marine and livestock that are cultivated, raised or grown with special

care using less agricultural chemicals, antibiotics or other chemical additives.

Topvalu Healthy Ai is the well-being brand that helps customers achieve

healthy and beautiful lifestyles.

Topvalu Best Price is the brand that offers daily essential items with good

quality at competitive prices.

Topvalu Ready Meal is the brand that offers safe and delicious prepared

meals that are simple and convenient to make.

Topvalu Select is the superior quality brand that offers products using superior

ingredients, identifiable place of origin, unique manufacturing methods and/or

functional benefits.

Topvalu Kyokan Sengen is an environmentally friendly brand

developed based upon the concepts of the 4R’s: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse,

and Returnable.

Topvalu is the brand that offers everyday items with reliable quality at

affordable prices.

Aeon’s Topvalu brandAeon designs and develops the Topvalu brand as its private

brand, aiming to make its customers’ everyday lives even

better. We are developing the brand items by incorporating

the opinions of customers and adhering to the Five Topvalu

Commitments.

We presently have about 6,000 items in our Topvalu range,

to meet the diversified needs of customers who have

different lifestyles. Among these items, the number of

megahit items (items with annual sales exceeding one billion

yen) reached 200 in fiscal 2011. Now, in response to

increases in customers’ concerns about safety, we are

developing new Topvalu items in fresh food and prepared

meals, such as green vegetables grown by our directly

managed farms, fresh yellowtail fish products from

contracted farms, and beef croquettes among others.

Safe and Secure ProductionAeon oversees the entire process—from material

procurement through production, distribution, and quality

inspection—for all Topvalu products, and strives to disclose

related information in an appropriate manner. We also expect

much more than just quality management from our

outsourced manufacturers. We request that our suppliers

comply with the Aeon Supplier Code of Conduct, to ensure

their compliance with standards related to human rights,

working environments, and corporate ethics. Moreover, in

quick response to increasing concerns about radioactive

contamination, we began a blanket testing system for all

domestic black-haired Japanese beef sold under the Topvalu

brand and are enhancing our independent testing system to

reduce the radioactive substances contained in agricultural

products sold at our stores to zero.

The shared function companies help the Group’s

operating companies conduct their business more

efficiently and systematically by fulfilling the

common functions that used to be fulfilled

individually by the companies and provide them

with a common business infrastructure.

Specifically, Aeon Topvalu Co., Ltd. controls the

entire process, from development through materials

procurement, production, and marketing for Aeon

Topvalu private brand products; Aeon Global

Merchandising Co., Ltd. oversees procurement for

the Group; and Aeon Global SCM Co., Ltd.

supervises Group-wide distribution and inventory

management. These shared function companies

have contributed to cost reduction across the Group

by promoting the economy of scale. In 1986,

Research Institute for Quality Living Co., Ltd. was

established as an independent testing laboratory

within the Group, which helps the Group take full

responsibility for the products it delivers to

customers, including ensuring the safety of its

products.

yen. We are endeavoring to make the card more

convenient for consumers so that it can be used

easily by anyone at anytime and anywhere.

Moreover we are increasing the number of actual

stores that provide online supermarket services and

thus combining the merits of new online services

and actual stores to build business models unique

to Aeon.

to local communities-with the customer’s point of view as its core.” With

“realization of a low-carbon society,” “conservation of biodiversity,”

“better use of resources” and “dealing with social matters” as pillars, we

energy-saving equipment, and wall and rooftop-greening.

Aeon Happy Yellow Receipt CampaignAeon has designated the 11th of every month “Aeon Day,” on which all

employees engage in social contribution activities. On this day, Aeon issues

yellow receipts, which customers drop into designated boxes individually

labeled with the description of volunteer

groups. Aeon donates requested goods

to an amount equivalent to 1% of the

total value of the receipts to the

respective volunteer groups to support

their activities, thereby connecting local

volunteer groups with customers who

want to support their activities.
