To fulfill Mercari's mission, both individual employees and the organization as a whole adhere to a common set of values. Three key values serve as behavioral guidelines for individuals: "Go Bold," "All for One," and "Be a Pro." Simultaneously, the organization is grounded in four foundational values: "Sustainability," "Diversity & Inclusion," "Trust & Openness," and "Well-being for Performance." These values are regarded as fundamental components in achieving Mercari's mission, and they constitute the culture that Mercari intends to maintain, regardless of its size or expansion.
