4 Corporate Strategy Mission: Aiming at continuously evolving a new, comprehensive lifestyle industry in a continuously changing society. Medium - Long-term priorities: Strengthening existing fields of business. Will not consider mergers/acquisitions merely to expand market share or scale. Focus on initiatives that contribute to raising turnover on a group basis. Expansion of e-money service (nanaco) to further stores, as well as entering into tie-ups with nongroup companies.

5 Trading Current Priorities: Price focus on Everyday Fair Prices to combat perception of high prices. Product lifecycles explore new approaches to shorten cycles. Freshness further improvement, coupled with local sourcing policy. Quality improving quality in response to health-related concerns. Use of IT extensive use to improve business processes.

Supplies mail order company Otsuka with food and other products to distribute via its catalogue. Plans to install e-commerce software to bulk buy goods and services for its employees.

6 Private Label Strategy Historically, each group company developed its own private label lines. Seven & I launched the Group Merchandising Reform Project to look at group-wide merchandising activities. Launched a new private label food range, Seven Premium, in May This range is now the group s key private label focus. Range now comprises around 380 SKUs such as soup, drinks and processed foods. Seven & I hopes to increase the range to 1,000-1,200 SKUs over three years. Prices are 20-30% lower than similar national brands.
