| AEON is a group engaged in a variety of 
                        businesses and operations centering on retailing within 
                        and outside Japan. With 
                        a long-term goal of “Global 10,” which is 
                        to rank within the top ten global retailers, we are endeavouring 
                        to reinforce our group framework.
 
 AEON implements a unique business model in which the individual 
                        operations continue to develop with each other by pursuing 
                        and mutually sharing the best practices.
 The important point in attaining the goal is to take action 
                        together with our customers.
 AEON is deeply involved in well-being and lifestyle. 
                          Let alone providing safe and reassuring foods and consumer 
                          goods, we pay the utmost attention to the raw materials 
                          used in our products.We 
                          also care about the living conditions of the suppliers 
                          of the material.
 With 
                          the entire group putting the AEON Basic Principles into 
                          practice, the group will take another leap toward the 
                          goal. In 2003 Aeon established a Supplier Code of Conduct 
                          to act under the shared customer-centered AEON principles.The AEON group hopes to develop strong ties with customers 
                          and business partners in compliance with this AEON Supplier 
                          Code of Conduct.
