Special Subsidiary Company JFR Create Co., Ltd.
JFR Create was established as a special subsidiary company wholly owned by J. Front Retailing in 2017. The company name is derived from “Create the Future,” one of the Group’s guidelines for action, JFR WAY.
In the early days, the company’s business was mainly light work, such as making ribbons and price tags for gifts of the Department Store and sorting internal mail. However, in response to the needs of the Group companies, in 2021, the company started cleaning the offices of each company and setting up digital devices such as smartphones for company use, and in 2022, began checking vouchers at Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores as a new attempt to work together with able-bodied people. By doing so, it is expanding the scope of its business every year. In particular, as digitization progresses, the need for light-duty work, which used to be a field of activity for disabled people, is shrinking. In this situation, the digital device setup business is attracting attention from other companies employing disabled people as a new field for their empowerment.
Since its establishment, the company has opened up opportunities for employees with diverse characteristics, and now there are more than 40 different types of operations.
The company is now responsible for a wide range of back-office operations for the Group, and will continue to expand opportunities to empower disabled people by collaborating with the Group companies.
