TOKYO -- Uniqlo operator Fast Retailing is ramping up recruitment efforts outside Japan as it aims for foreign nationals to make up 80% of management and 40% of its executive officers by fiscal 2030.
The company is among the first in Japan to set such numerical targets. With core functions now based in both Japan and the U.S., it sees foreign managers and executives as key to globalizing a wide range of operations, from store development to supply chains and information technology.
