Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (hereafter “the Company”)　was established in 1960 for the purpose of contributing to the cultural life of the nation and the welfare of its citizens. “Aiming to create place where people can sing a never-ending hymn to humanity”—This has been our approach to business, shared among all employees when our company laid out the ground plan for Maihama. We seek to create a true culture of interpersonal understanding, where diverse people, regardless of age, gender or nationality, can interact, delight, laugh and be moved together, to the sound of their uplifted voices. Continuing to create and provide this wonderful world is our mission.

 

To this end, following land reclamation off the coast of Urayasu and negotiations to bring Disneyland to Japan, the Company opened Tokyo Disneyland in 1983 as the first Disney theme park to operate outside of the United States. Then, in 2001, the Company opened Tokyo DisneySea, the only Disney Park in the world themed on the sea. Around the same time, Disney hotels, a commercial facility and a monorail system were opened, transforming the Maihama area from a single theme park to a themed resort. We have continued to make ongoing investment in an effort to generate new moving experiences across the entire resort.

 

We would like to thank all of our stakeholders for their long-lasting support and assistance, which has enabled us to continue to operate and grow our business to this day, while being loved by many people, both in Japan and overseas.

 

The Oriental Land Group has decided to uphold “Bringing more ‘Happiness’ to you and the community” as Our Goal for 2035 and has formulated its forward-looking approach as the 2035 Long-term Management Strategy. In our existing businesses, we will aim to create added value unbound by conventional frameworks in order to achieve further growth for Tokyo Disney Resort. In addition, we will put our Japan-based Disney cruise service on track for a FY2028 launch, work on ESG Materiality initiatives as activities unique to the OLC Group, and expand our corporate venture capital activities to propel the generation of new businesses.

 

Through our efforts to implement the Long-term Management Strategy, we will endeavor to respect the communities and natural environments around us, provide spaces and times for diverse people to share joy and inspiration, and create enjoyment that will give as many people as possible the drive into tomorrow. By enhancing the OLC Group’s value, we will work to earn the trust of society at large and continue being a company in which our employees can truly take pride.

 

The entire OLC Group will continue to take on new challenges so as to provide “wonderful dreams, moving experiences, happiness and contentment” to all our stakeholders for the next 50 and 100 years. Please join us in looking forward to the Group’s future growth and evolution.
