What is the purpose of this signature campaign?

To demand the standardization of "zero steps" at entrances and full accessibility inside all newly built stores.

Why do new stores still have steps?

Barrier-free design is only a "duty to make an effort" for small stores under 2,000 sq meters, resulting in steps in about 1 in 3 new stores.

It will be streamed live on YouTube on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 8:00 PM (JST). Pre-registration is available.
