We are creating a shift away from
material wealth to true
abundance.
"Reuse" is one of the major initiatives to achieve a circular economy,
and we
believe that expanding our core reuse business globally will lead to the realization of a sustainable
society.
By proactively addressing ESG issues and narrowing down what is truly
necessary for all stakeholders,
we aim to realize a world where everyone can live
in a way that is true to themselves.
Valuence takes on the challenge of solving social issues through our core business of reuse,
which connects unwanted items from former owners to new owners in need.
To focus on what is most important. To pursue not only material wealth, but an abundance in living
one’s own life.
We believe designing circular business activities for a more abundant Earth and
for the happiness of humanity will lead to a future of happiness worldwide.

Practice for the Earth and

In order to create a future where people can “focus on what is most important in their lives”, each and every one of us needs to pursue a rich way of life for ourselves. Valuence aims to provide products and services that accompany you through the various choices and situations that occur in your life, foster richness, and expand your options in life.
We believe that if people around the world can “focus on what is most important”, both people and the planet will continue to become richer, and this will bring happiness to the world. Valence aims to build and expand a global economic zone where the circulation of real assets and spiritual richness ripple out through coexistence and co-prosperity with the community, based on a marketplace that can be used safely by all.
The fact that each and every employee pursues their dreams and careers, and continues to seek out actions that will expand their potential, is the starting point for Value Design, which allows everyone involved with Valuence to focus on what is most important. Valuence aims to create a culture where each and every employee can feel that they have a place to belong, and to provide support and encouragement that allows all the employees to be healthy in body and mind, and to be able to demonstrate their individuality and talents.
In order for us to design a sustainable cycle over the medium to long term, it is essential that we build a robust governance system and achieve sustainable corporate growth in a rich global environment and society. Valuence aims to operate its business based on ethical and fair decisions while sincerely engaging with stakeholders, including the global environment and society.
STEP 1
We identified issues and opportunities by referring to the materiality of
other
companies that are highly relevant to GRI Standards, SASB, SDGs, ESG evaluation organizations,
and the Valuence Group, as well as stakeholder opinions.
STEP 2
We conducted a survey of all employees, including those overseas,
and customers
to determine which of the issues and opportunities identified should be prioritized by
the Valuence Group. Based on the results of this survey, we held a workshop with
members of
management and volunteer employees to discuss and evaluate the
importance of
the issues and opportunities. In the evaluation, we adopted the
concept of “double materiality” and
considered both the impact on our business
and the impact on the Earth and society.
Next, we visualized the evaluation
results by incorporating them into a materiality matrix, and finally identified 17 materialities.
STEP 3
The ESG Promotion Committee deliberated on the 17 materiality issues, and the Board of Directors
approved them.
These materiality issues were organized into four key themes,
and a subcommittee called "Working Group" has been established for each theme,
with ESG Committee members appointed as the person in
charge. Under the supervision
of each person in charge,
the relevant departments formulate activity plans and
implement and promote ESG measures.
Impact on the Earth and Society
Impact on the Business
Key Therme:
We have set evaluation indicators and some numerical targets for each materiality.
The numerical targets are set for 2027, the year in which we will implement our new
medium-term management plan
“To the Next Stage : For 2030 Revival Vision”, and
2030, the year in which we will realize our vision of
becoming a “Circular Design
Company”. The plan and promotion of the set indicators and
targets are managed by
the person in charge of the Working Group for each key theme,
and are developed
into the policies, targets and plans of each related department.
The progress and
achievement status of each target is checked by the ESG Promotion Committee
every
month and reported to the Board of Directors, ensuring that the PDCA cycle is steadily
implemented.
