Target SDGs for Environmentally Friendly Property Initiatives
The amount of CO2 emitted from the construction and operation of buildings is said to account for approximately 40% of all CO2 emissions in Japan, including indirect emissions. In addition, as humans spend a long time indoors, the indoor environment affects the health and productivity of the occupants. Given the significant impact of real estate property on the three aspects of the environment, society, and the economy, integrated initiatives for achieving the SDGs are thought to be highly beneficial for improving the sustainability of the three aspects.
The Group aims to promote and increase properties that give consideration to the environment, such as cities and buildings with high energy and resource efficiency and buildings that contribute to improving production efficiency. We will advance initiatives that contribute to increasing property values through features such as high environmental performance that reduce risk and enhance income.
