VALUE CREATION MODEL

AEON’s value creation model centers around its commitment to sustainable growth and societal contribution while aligning with the AEON Foundational Ideals of pursuing peace, respecting humanity, and contributing to local community, always with customers as our starting point. Harnessing our six capitals as inputs to fuel our economic value creation, we leverage the AEON Living Zone ecosystem to execute our strategic priorities, generating sustainable value for distribution to stakeholders and society.

INPUT

Our robust financial performance and sound balance sheet provide the foundation for delivering consistent shareholder value through dividends and reinvestment for sustainable growth. With strong access to financial markets and institutional lenders, we ensure the necessary resources to support our strategic initiatives and long-term business objectives.

Our expansive asset portfolio, including owned and leased malls, supermarkets, general merchandise stores, specialty outlets and food processing centers across Malaysia, forms the backbone of our operations. This extensive network enables us to effectively reach, market, and distribute our products to customers nationwide, ensuring accessibility and convenience.

Our trusted brand, established over four decades, is a cornerstone of our success. This includes our well-recognised home-grown Private Brands, innovative membership programmes, and longstanding partnerships with tenants and businesses, which collectively enhance customer loyalty and strengthen market leadership.

Committed to sustainability, we responsibly utilise natural resources and proactively manage our environmental footprint. Through ongoing efforts to reduce waste, conserve energy, and adopt eco-friendly practices, we aim to minimise environmental impact while contributing to a sustainable future.

Our people are at the heart of our success. We foster a culture of learning, development, and inclusivity by actively recruiting, nurturing, and retaining talent. By empowering AEON People to achieve their full potential and champion diversity, we build a motivated and innovative workforce that drives our business forward.
