Well-Being Life Proposed for Customers
The Group thinks “mental wealth,” “physical wealth,” “social wealth” and “environmental wealth” as well as conventional material and economic wealth will lead to the realization of Well-Being Life.
In response to growing customer awareness of ethical consumption, such as selecting products that provide solutions for environmental and social issues, Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores and Parco strive to provide more products and services that support ethical consumption. Going forward, the Group will conduct questionnaire surveys on customer awareness and sympathy for its sustainability activities.
Mental Wealth
Provide excitement to daily life and create new experiences that excite customers through art, culture and entertainment.

Welpa, a Place to Take Care of Yourself
In November 2021, Parco opened a new medical mall Welpa, which provides medical care, products, and services under new concept, in Shinsaibashi PARCO. To make customers’ daily lives a little more comfortable, the mall, as a “place to take care of yourself” to make your daily life a little more comfortable, offers a wide range of products and services from medical care to food products that are useful for daily self-care.
Welpa has a lounge that can be used before orafter a clinic visit. Visitors can relax on the sofas while sipping a drink. The lounge has a book shelf with a collection of wellness-themed books that are useful for mental and physical health.
Women in their 20’s to 40’s who are Parco’s main customers tend to put themselves on the back burner in order to take care of their daily work and families and face many health challenges, such as a lack of access to information about health checkups and health care.
As Welpa is located in an easily accessible commercial facility, we will support women so that they can make it a habit to take care of themselves while having fun.
Social Wealth

Asumise, Creating the Cycle of Encounters

Customers scan a QR code placed in the space to buy a product from the brand’s e-commerce site instead of buying it in the
store.
The space does not undergo a large-scale renovation work as in the past, and instead, existing furniture and Under the concept of a place where new possibilities are created through the "cycle of encounters,” we replace brands every three months to provide new encounters.
