Overview

Corporate Philosophy and Purpose

We will develop businesses in which people are placed in the center,
seeking happiness for the people involved in the K’s Denki Group.
We will spread the “harmony with,
and circles of” people through our business activities,
leading to greater contribution to society.

Management Policy“Gambaranai Keiei”

Although it may be possible to perform beyond one’s capacity for a short period of time by straining ourselves, this approach is not suitable for company management, which needs to take a long-term view. When we overdo it, there will always be backlash. Thus, we have a management policy in which we do the right things in a reliable manner without overdoing it, aiming to satisfy our customers in the ideal way. We call this policy “Gambaranai Keiei.”

To realize the “customers come first” policy in the truest sense, it is important to take care of 1. employees, 2. business partners, 3. customers, and 4. shareholders, in that order.

Our strengths

Our strengths lie in our specialization in home appliance/electronics, on the basis of “Gambaranai Keiei.”
This specialization allows us to enhance the expertise of our employees and control costs, which helps us generate immense profits.
We also treasure our employees above all based on the belief that creating environments where employees can work with enjoyment and smiles is essential for realizing a “customers come first” policy in the truest sense.
This allows employees to look at things from the customer’s perspective and think consistently about services that are pleasing to customers and stores that make shopping convenient.
At K’s Denki, we endeavor to develop stores in which customers are provided with high-quality services and the same sense of security no matter which store they may visit across Japan.

Services from the Customer’s Perspective

Putting “services from the customer’s perspective” into practice is easier said than done. To realize that, the first important step is to listen to what customers have to say. We listen to what customers want before recommending the most appropriate merchandise, rather than forcing them to buy to suit our purposes.

Store Design for Comfortable Shopping

K’s Denki aims to design sales floors that are visually appealing, offer the wide assortment of products expected of a specialized retailer of home appliance/electronics, and provide a comfortable shopping experience for everyone.

Our vision

We view the three-year period starting in FY2025 as the time to establish an all-important foundation for medium- and long-term growth, and will promote actions to implement management that is conscious of cost of capital and stock price.

Materiality at K’S HOLDINGS CORPORATION (priority issues)

In order to achieve our goals, we discussed what the Group’s priority issues are, narrowed our focus on their likely impact on our corporate value and stakeholders, and identified the following.

Expertise, physical stores, and declining and aging population: Refining our expertise by specializing in home appliance/electronics and expanding our market share by developing new stores. Climate change, natural disasters, infectious diseases: Stable store operation and contribution to the realization of a sustainable society. Social change: Pursue human capital management by focusing on value of employees. Laws and ordinances, and ethics: Compliance with laws and ordinances, and strengthening of governance.

Shareholder Returns

The Company has positioned the distribution of profits to shareholders as one of its most important management priorities. Together with undertaking capital investments for the establishment of new stores and management innovations, working to achieve the Company’s growth, and strengthening competitiveness, the Company regards allocation of profits to shareholders in accordance with the operating results, in principle on a stable basis, as its basic policy on profit sharing, and makes efforts to realize it.
