AEON Smart Technology plays a central role in leading digital transformation and supporting transformation across the AEON Group, which generates over 10 trillion yen in operating revenue and employs approximately 600,000 people. We fully recognize the significance of the mission entrusted to us as we provide value across a wide range of fields—including merchandise, logistics, stores, finance and accounting, human resources, and customer-facing apps—in diverse business domains such as retail.

Today, the evolution of data and AI is transforming not only corporate activities, but society itself. With the customer always at the center of our thinking, we aim to create services that are more convenient, more comfortable, and more valuable by leveraging the Group’s diverse data assets and advanced technologies.

At the same time, people must always remain at the heart of digital technology. Technology must be easy to use, truly useful, and safe and secure for everyone. Our vision of DX is to stay close to people in every aspect and stage of their lives, supporting each individual’s daily living.

We will continue to bring together the strengths of the AEON Group and create new value through technology.
