Marking its 80th anniversary last year, Amorepacific Group proclaimed its ¡°Create New Beauty¡± vision and established five strategic tasks.
The five are fostering key global markets (Everyone Global), strengthening integrated beauty solutions (Holistic), developing anti-aging technologies based on biotechnology (Ageless), driving agile organizational innovation (AMORE Spark) and transforming operations through AI (AI First).
Building on the five strategic tasks established last year, Amorepacific Group is pursuing three core objectives this year to realize the ¡°New Beauty¡± vision: accelerating expansion into overseas markets, creating beauty that encompasses both the inner and outer self and innovating the way Amorepacific Group employees work.
In particular, under the ¡°Holistic Longevity¡± technology vision, the company plans to expand its scope beyond skin care into hair care and wellness, while building unique competitiveness in bio-beauty to offer differentiated solutions. Furthermore, the company aims to boost operational speed and productivity through a comprehensive AI transformation.
¡°We must understand customers¡¯ changing needs ahead of others, execute our work rapidly, and complete tasks with persistence and perseverance,¡± Seo emphasized.
