https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/3197/334/3197-334-68ba16e94850c923010058112aa3338f-1080×566.jpg “PASSTO” is a coined word that is shortened from “PASS TO” and means “pass it on to the next person, pass it on to the future.” PASSTO serves as an entry point for resource recycling in places close to consumers, creating a cycle of “recovering” unnecessary items that are no longer in use, “sorting” them for optimal use, and “reusing and recycling” them to put them back into use. The reuse/recycling rate for clothing deposited at PASSTO is approximately 98%. It also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions compared to simple incineration.

redistribute items that are no longer needed.

It is a coined word that is a combination of the “S” in “Sustainability” and the “A” in “ARROWS.” In April 2020, we
established five themes and 16 materialities (important issues) as guidelines for promoting sustainability. Furthermore, in August 2022, we have set three activity goals for 2030: “Circularity (circular fashion),” “Carbon Neutrality (towards a carbon neutral world),” and “Humanity (healthy work and living).” We have set numerical targets linked to these three categories. Aiming to realize these goals, we will proceed with specific initiatives and actively disseminate information on our progress.
