MUJI was founded in 1980 based on the in-house development experience of Seiyu, Ltd. to provide good products at lower prices with the slogan of "Lower priced for a reason." The basis of our product development is to create products that are truly fundamental to day-to-day life without any unnecessary complexity. To achieve this, we take a second look at often neglected materials, streamline the production process, and simplify packaging to create simple, beautiful products that people will cherish for years.

Since the birth of MUJI, we have further developed this concept and proposed the idea of realizing a simple, pleasant life for people around the world by providing MUJI products and services designed with both consumers and producers in mind. We make three pledges in corporate management as a company that realizes a simple, pleasant life. Furthermore, we set and implement three priorities in product development and three standards in manufacturing, which are the basis of business management.

Three Principles of product development

Through these initiatives, we are promoting climate change measures from the viewpoint of quality and function of products and CO2 emissions with consideration of the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) for each material from the product development stage.
