Theme: What a Wonderful World

In today’s challenging times—whether it's environmental crises, social turmoil, or personal pressures—we often overlook the beauty and miracles around us. Through the theme "What a Wonderful World," we aim to inspire people to rediscover the wonders of life with a broader perspective and a positive attitude. This journey is about rekindling love for the world, gratitude for life, and hope for the future.

1. Discovering Hidden Beauty
From the small miracles in nature to heartwarming moments in everyday life, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary helps us cherish the little things. We aim to highlight beautiful stories from nature, art, culture, and daily life, encouraging everyone to pause and appreciate the beauty around them, even in the midst of their busy routines.

2. The Power of Unity and Empathy
In our fast-paced, digital world, we often neglect the connections we share with others. By sharing stories of human kindness, community strength, and cultural exchange, we hope to remind everyone that these bonds bring warmth and hope to the world.

3. Innovation for a Sustainable Future
From green energy and circular economies to the use of artificial intelligence, technology is more than just a tool to solve problems—it’s a force for creating a better future. We focus not only on technological progress but also on how human creativity and intelligence can help build a more beautiful and sustainable society.

4. Resilience and Hope
Human potential is limitless. Our resilience and courage in the face of challenges inspire us to believe that even in the darkest times, there is always light. Through stories of personal growth, social victories, and community revitalization, we emphasize how hope and determination can lead us toward a brighter world.

Let this journey remind us all that our world truly is wonderful.

Our rapid growth has proven the immense potential of budget-friendly supermarkets in Taiwan. Beyond Simple Mart, I oversee Tomod’s and Simple Mart Plus, expanding into new sectors, including the pet retail industry, to meet evolving consumer demands.
