All Rights Reserved. Shiseido's Corporate Social Responsibility Back Issues 2011 Shiseido CSR website top > What is Shiseido CSR? What is Shiseido CSR? Overall Image of Shiseido CSR Basic Concept We aim to realize a sustainable society through dialogue and cooperation with stakeholders while also promoting management that contributes to the creation of people's beauty and health by developing activities that address social issues and meet expectations. The Shiseido Group's corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities follow the basic concept of "Our Way", which denotes action standards that each and every employee should take toward stakeholders based on the Shiseido Group corporate philosophy "Our Mission, Values and Way." Initiatives Related to the United Nations Global Compact In September 2004, Shiseido announced that it was joining the United Nations Global Compact, declaring that it would voluntarily work to solve problems and create an international framework for realizing a sustainable society. As a specific example of our initiatives in this area, in March 2006 we adopted the Shiseido Group Supplier Code of Conduct, a series of standards governing Shiseido procurement activities, based on the Global Compact's ten principles. In this way, we have joined our business partners in making a commitment to society to pursue procurement activities based on high ethical standards. In the area of human rights, we continue to pursue initiatives in the context of our own corporate activities. In addition, we joined the CEO Statement, an initiative launched by the Global Compact on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in December 2008, as part of our program of support for the Global Compact. 1 Shiseido's Corporate Social Responsibility Back Issues 2011 The statement declares to the world, "We also reiterate our own commitment to respect and support human rights within our sphere of influence. Human rights are universal and are an important business concern all over the globe." In the area of environmental activities, we have announced our participation in Caring for Climate, a climate change initiative also being spearheaded by the Global Compact. In addition to striving to protect the environment in our own business activities, Shiseido is committed to offering support for, and actively participating in, international initiatives to address climate change. Also, in September 2010, Shiseido signed to recognize "the Women's Empowerment Principles," a set of practical guidelines collaboratively developed by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM, part of UN Women) and the United Nations Global Compact for companies and private entities to promote women's empowerment. Declaration of participation in the United Nations Letter of certification Global Compact's Initiative on Climate Change United Nations Global Compact Proposed by then-United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan in 1999 at the World Economic Forum (a conference held in Davos, Switzerland), the United Nations Global Compact is a set of voluntary principles of action that are upheld by corporations, international labor organizations, and civil society.

Abstract: The death of photoreceptor cells is induced by continuous light exposure. However, it is unclear whether light damage was induced in retinal ganglion cells with photosensitivity by transduction of optogenetic genes. In this study, we evaluated the phototoxicities of continuous light exposure on retinal ganglion cells after transduction of the optogenetic gene mVChR1 using an adeno-associated virus vector. Rats were exposed to continuous light for a week, and visually evoked Citation: Tabata, K.; Sugano, E.; potentials (VEPs) were recorded.

  • Shiseido Relocates Hong Kong "Shiseido Beauty Center"
    Shiseido Relocates Hong Kong “Shiseido Beauty Center” On November 16 Friday, 2001, Shiseido Co., Ltd. will relocate its beauty center in Hong Kong, the “Shiseido Beauty Center,” to the prestigious Causeway Bay area, and will enlarge its floor space compared with the previous site. In 1968, in Hong Kong, Shiseido opened its very first beauty center. Shiseido Beauty Centers are not sales outlets. Instead, they are cosmetics information points for customers, and a means by which Shiseido can communicate directly with the public. Through the centers, Shiseido offers the public services such as skincare counseling and treatment, skincare-related and other seminars, etc., all free of charge. Approximately 8,000 customers annually use the Hong Kong Shiseido Beauty Center. The new “Shiseido Beauty Center” is being relocated to Causeway Bay, one of the premier Hong Kong addresses. The area is home to many leading department stores, including the prestigious Lane Crawford and Hong Kong SOGO, the most popular department store in Hong Kong. Shiseido made the move to enhance convenience for existing customers and to attract new customers. Compared to the previous site, the Shiseido Beauty Center will have more spacious consultation areas, beauty-related classroom and skincare treatment area. Shiseido will establish an area for customers to sample SHISEIDO cosmetics free of charge, a gallery to introduce Shiseido's corporate culture through display of its products and advertisements, and other facilities. The center's floor space, at 300m2, will be approximately twice that of the previous Hong Kong Shiseido Beauty Center. Shiseido forecasts 20,000 visitors annually. Through the relocation, Shiseido aims to enhance the satisfaction of existing customers and to win new loyal customers for the SHISEIDO brand.

Purpose of this absorption-type split As part of the reforms directed toward the realization of “VISION 2020,” our medium-to-long-term strategy, we have been operating a matrix organizational structure based on a brand axis and regional axis since January of this year in order to develop strong brands and enable the implementation of marketing activities that suit each region of the world.
