Message from the President

It is only by realizing economic value that we can continue to maintain our efforts to create and deliver value that will contribute to a sustainable society. Based on this approach, the Yoshinoya Holdings Group has identified its “five materialities (critical issues)” that clarify the relationship between our business activities and social issues from an ESG perspective, and made them the central pillar of our promotion of sustainability.

In our Group Medium-term Management Plan that began in FY2025, we declared the strengthening of our competitiveness through the promotion of sustainability as a priority area for the achievement of our strategies. To ensure that our ESG measures that address the five materialities help strengthen our competitiveness, we will work on the improvement of both social value and economic value.

We have placed “Realizing diversity and inclusion to enable people to grow and thrive,” which is related to the practice of human capital management, at the top of the five materialities. We believe that aiming to be a group where employees will want to stay for the long term, and remaining a company that instills pride in its employees and their families are key conditions for upholding and continuing our sustainability initiatives.

To that end, the Yoshinoya Holdings Group has established a new management policy, “Your Smile, Our Value” in the Medium-term Management Plan. The “Your” in “Your Smile” refers to all the stakeholders associated with the Group, and this policy expresses our aspiration to find our value in the smiles, that is, the happiness, of all those stakeholders. Bringing joy to our stakeholders is the source of all our activities and leads to the improvement of our performance and business results. Those improvements in turn result in returns to our stakeholders, so by maintaining that cycle, we will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
