Proposal for Environment-Friendly Lifestyles

Think GREEN Initiative

In April 2020, Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores launched the Think GREEN initiatives with the aim of promoting the realization of a circular society as mentioned in the Eco Vision with customers.

On the Think GREEN website, we showcase environmentally conscious products and services based on the concept that even small purchasing decisions and everyday actions can contribute to society.

Promotion of Smart Wrapping

At the Daimaru and Matsuzakaya stores, workers are repeatedly trained based on a smart wrapping manual to promote economical and appropriate packaging. At our stores and online store, we ask customers about their preferences when they place an order and request their cooperation in choosing simplified packaging.

Initiatives to Reduce the Use of Packaging Materials

The paper shopping bags used by Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores, including bags specifically for food products, are FSC®-certified, ensuring that they are produced responsibly with consideration for forest biodiversity conservation and appropriate processing and distribution practices.
In March 2026, we took this initiative a step further by introducing a charge for paper shopping bags as part of our efforts to reduce the overall consumption of resources.
In addition, for plastic grocery bags used for food products, we introduced bags containing 30% biomass-derived materials in August 2019. Since June 2020, these bags have also been offered for a fee, helping to reduce plastic consumption and promote more sustainable shopping practices.
