On the occasion of KOSÉ’s 80th Anniversary

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of our parent company, KOSÉ Holdings Corporation, I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude for your generous and continued support. This significant milestone marks more than just a celebration of our rich heritage; it serves as a moment for KOSÉ Travel Retail (KTR) to reaffirm our commitment to evolving into an organization that will lead the industry into the next 100 years.

Our vision is "To make every encounter during travel the starting point of lifelong beauty― delivering the finest experiences to the world as a globally radiant Lifelong Beauty Partner." In the uplifting and special moments of travel, we connect with our customers through their skin and touch their hearts. In an increasingly digital world, we believe the emotional resonance born from face-to-face, "direct human connection" provides essential value that AI can never replace.

For fiscal year 2026, our keywords are "Newness" and "3E."

We are currently in "Phase II (2024–2027)" of our roadmap. Against the backdrop of a thriving global tourism industry, we are further strengthening "DECORTÉ," centered in the Asian market, while simultaneously pursuing a full-scale entry into Western duty-free markets and establishing a strong presence for our amenity business within Japan.

Vision for Lifelong Beauty Partner－Milestone2030

 

In 2026, we are specifically focused on the perspective of "Newness." We will continue to challenge ourselves to surpass past successes by embodying the "3E" principles:

Exclusive: Providing unique value found only in Travel Retail and Amenities.

Experience: Creating unforgettable customer experiences through bespoke services and events.

Environment: Advancing sustainable business activities and addressing SDGs

 

To achieve our ambitious goals for 2030, "meaningful co-creative dialogue" with industry leaders is essential.

"One Travel Retail, One Amenity, and One KTR, As One KOSÉ."

By working toward a shared goal with our diverse stakeholders, and transforming differences in perspective into the "spice" that refines our value, I look forward to forging new paths together.

To remain the one-and-only partner for travelers worldwide for the next 100 years, we hope to reach even greater heights alongside you all.
