Seven & i Holdings 验厂

The Seven & i Group strives, in accordance with its corporate creed,1 to be a sincere business enterprise that earns the trust of

also established four innovation teams and will work to promote effective initiatives across the group while striving to solve issues

in coordination with customers, business partners and local communities based on unity amongst all group employees.
