Fast Retailing Philippines, Inc. (UNIQLO)

Fast Retailing seeks to deliver the joy, happiness, and satisfaction of wearing great clothes to all people worldwide. Our corporate philosophy is: Changing clothes. Changing conventional wisdom. Change the world. As the world's third-largest manufacturer and retailer of private-label apparel in terms of sales, Fast Retailing operates multiple fashion brands including UNIQLO, GU, and Theory. UNIQLO, the Group's pillar brand, generated approximately ¥1.77 trillion in annual sales from 2,312 stores in 25 countries and regions in FY2021. Driven by our LifeWear concept for ultimate everyday clothing, UNIQLO offers unique products made from high-quality, highly functional materials at reasonable prices by managing everything from procurement and design to production and retail sales. The main drivers of UNIQLO growth have expanded beyond Japan to Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) and Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, our fun, low-priced GU fashion brand is generating annual global sales of approximately ¥250 billion, primarily in Japan. In terms of our broader strategy, the entire Fast Retailing Group is currently pressing ahead with the Ariake Project, which seeks to transform the apparel industry into a new digital retail industry that focuses on the commercialization of information. We are leveraging various advanced technologies to build a seamless supply chain connecting Fast Retailing and our partner factories, warehouses, and stores worldwide. This Ariake Project transformation also seeks to achieve greater sustainability, through initiatives that minimize the environmental impact of our business and create a manufacturing environment that upholds human rights. Fast Retailing is driven by a passionate desire to harness the power of clothing to enrich the lives of people around the world and create a more sustainable society.
