(Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Noriyuki Yamamoto; hereinafter referred to as EYEVAN) has decided to raise the starting salary for new graduates who will join the company in April 2026 from the current 260,000 yen to 300,000 yen (monthly). In addition, in line with this revision, the salary level of existing employees will also be raised to improve working conditions across the company. This is to further strengthen EYEVAN’s investment in “people,” which it has valued since its founding, and to aim for sustainable growth and improvement of brand value together with talented people who will lead the future of the fashion eyewear industry. EYEVAN, which has led the industry with Japan’s high technical capabilities and sophisticated designs under the concept of “wearable glasses,” will implement this revision of starting salaries as an important measure to ensure that each employee can maximize their capabilities and continue to provide the best value to customers. • Background: Why EYEVAN strengthens investment in “people” Since its founding in 1972, EYEVAN has revolutionized the Japanese eyewear industry by elevating glasses from vision correction devices to fashion items under the concept of “wearable glasses.” The fusion of traditional craftsmanship from Sabae, Fukui, and cutting-edge design that captures the times has earned the company high praise both at home and abroad. It is the passion and expertise of each employee that supports the EYEVAN brand value and connects it to the future. In light of recent changes in social conditions and the diversification of values ​​of the next generation, EYEVAN has decided to raise the starting salary for new graduates to 300,000 yen with the following thoughts in mind. ＜Strong commitment to attracting and developing talented people＞ We have a strong desire to provide an environment where young talents who will create the future of the fashion eyewear industry can establish a financial foundation, devote themselves to their work with peace of mind, and grow as professionals. At the same time, we will be raising salaries across the company to reward existing employees who have supported EYEVAN’s growth to date and to motivate them even more. ＜Pursuit of high-quality hospitality and brand experience＞ EYEVAN offers not just products, but enriching experiences that are tailored to the lifestyles of each individual customer. To achieve this, it is essential to develop human resources with high levels of specialized knowledge, rich sensibilities, and above all, a heart that cares about the customer, and this revision is an investment in that effort. ＜Sustainable growth strategy for a 100-year brand＞ For EYEVAN, which has passed its 50th anniversary and is looking ahead to the next 100 years, investing in human resources who will lead the future is one of the most important strategies for achieving sustainable growth. We are looking for like-minded companions to join us in creating the next generation. • The appeal of working at EYEVAN: Not just a salary, but an environment full of growth and rewards EYEVAN has developed a unique training system and corporate culture to enable employees to maximize their capabilities and build their careers. ＜Training system to hone your expertise and lead you to professionalism＞ In addition to systematic training after joining the company, we provide plenty of opportunities to learn the knowledge and skills necessary to be an eyewear professional in depth, such as support for obtaining qualifications as an eyeglass making technician, new product study sessions by designers, and training at production sites in Fukui and Sabae. ＜Diverse career paths that expand from our stores＞ Customer service and sales experience in our stores is the foundation of your career at EYEVAN. After that, in addition to the path to becoming a specialist in store operations such as store manager or area manager, there are also paths open to challenging various positions at the head office, such as product planning, marketing, PR, overseas business, EC management, etc. In fact, many senior employees are using their store experience to support the growth of the brand in various fields. ＜A warm and stimulating corporate culture fostered by placing importance on personality＞ EYEVAN does not set sales quotas and values ​​sincere interaction with each and every customer. This spirit of “hospitality” is also connected to the warm corporate culture in which employees respect and help each other. We believe that creating an environment where all employees, whether new graduates or existing employees, can work long term with peace of mind and maximize their capabilities is the source of EYEVAN’s growth. This company-wide salary revision is a reflection of this belief.
