[Future Leaders Shine Bright at our Global Management Program 2024] At Fast Retailing global headquarters in Tokyo, we just concluded our six-day Global Management Program from July 28 to August 2, 2024. 43 future global business leaders from all over the world joined us to get a deeper understanding of the Fast Retailing business and to work on pressing global business issues. Starting off their program with a day exploring Tokyo, the students also gained detailed insights through interactive sessions with Fast Retailing’s global leaders. They learnt about our business strategy and LifeWear philosophy, about our transformation into a digital consumer retail company, and about our comprehensive program to balance sustainability with business growth. Participants also drilled down into core areas of our business such as merchandising and e-commerce. The highlight of the program was a visit to UNIQLO stores in the storied Tokyo districts of Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, where participants were introduced to both retail management and the global apparel industry. Over the course of our week-long program, students drew on their learnings to develop inventive solutions to real business challenges, then presented these to our Senior Leaders on the final day. A big thank you to the students who participated in GMP 2024 with such energy and enthusiasm! #uniqlo #lifewear #powerofclothing #globalmanagementprogram #globalmanagementprogram2024 #gmp #gmp2024 #futurebusinessleader #personalgrowth #careeropportunity #internship #summerinternship #globalinternship #undergraduate

Ocean Conservation Project: UNIQLO, Indonesia Contribution to ASEAN Heritage Parks, Wakatobi Island UNIQLO, Indonesia has conducted an Ocean Conservation Project at Wakatobi Island, Southeast Sulawesi, on 28 and 29 May 2024. This was the implementation action from the previous JOIN Campaign conducted last year - UNIQLO’s commitment to the environmental contribution, through collaborative actions with its stakeholders ranging from customers, government, community, as well as NGO. One of the main focuses is tackling the huge amount of plastic waste on the beach that majority comes from other countries and Indonesian regions. In collaboration with local partner Nusantara Nature Conservation Foundation (YKAN), we are doing a series of activities, including cleaning Soha Beach with 150 local people who successfully collected 296 kg of plastic waste and the waste separation education to more than 40 households. We also gave 20 organic and non-organic waste bins to local officers and a chopping machine to the local youth community. Through education and facility support, we expect to increase awareness from the local people to continue separating the waste and using the machine to chop non-organic waste (plastic into smaller pieces that are sold to the waste bank) and organic waste (food into compost that is used as soil fertilizer). On the second day, we invited 30 elementary students to join a mangrove tour and fun snake and ladder environmental games. The program closed with the handover of nine learning materials to the schools curated by Wakatobi National Park with diverse themes like mangroves, coral reefs, birds and others. #uniqlo #powerofclothing #lifewear #uniqloindonesia #sustainability #savetheearth #localcontribution #joincampaign #beachcleanup #oceanconservation #wastemanagement
