World Co., Ltd. Launches Integrated Report 2026

World Co., Ltd., based in Kobe, announces the release of its 'Integrated Report 2026' aimed at fostering communication with various stakeholders, including shareholders and investors. This report encompasses essential financial and non-financial information about the company and its ongoing efforts toward enhancing sustainable corporate value.

This marks the third year of publication for the integrated report, aligning with the establishment of the new mid-term management plan 'VISION-W'. It outlines the strategies for positioning itself within the 'third pole' of the fashion industry and presents a roadmap towards achieving its ambitious goal of generating ¥1 trillion in sales revenues within the next decade. The report details a shift from the previous structure of three core businesses—'Brand Business', 'Digital Business', and 'Platform Business'—to a new corporate formation categorized into two main segments: 'B2C Business' and 'B2B Business'. Furthermore, it elaborates on the strategy which employs mergers and acquisitions (M&A), intellectual property (IP) alliances, and international expansion as growth engines.

Additionally, the report introduces the 'Group Value Initiative', which connects diverse businesses and talents, emphasizing management based on technology, human capital, governance, and shared values. It also highlights sustainability efforts aimed at addressing environmental and social challenges, and discusses the evolution of a next-generation fashion platform powered by AI. Through these initiatives, World Co., Ltd. aims to maintain its trajectory as a 'Value Creation Corporate Group' committed to sustainable growth.
