Sustainability Policy

Our Concept of Sustainability in Property Investment

Based on the Responsible Property Investment Policy (established in June 2013, renamed to "Sustainability Policy“ in September 2023), we aim to implement RPI (Responsible Property Investment) that integrates environmental, social, and governance elements into property investment. We believe that owning and managing properties in a responsible manner adds value to an investment by limiting the risks of regulatory non-compliance and losing its competitive position in the market, by making a property more appealing to tenants and purchasers and by reducing expenses and improving returns. Therefore, we believe that this is an important strategy for us.

Our Commitment

  • Through dialogue and cooperation with diverse stakeholders, including tenants and local communities, we contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.
  • We form a diverse and inclusive organization that attracts and engages talent from a variety of backgrounds, and provide stable investment management services.
  • We provide investors with more stable returns by incorporating the concept of RPI into our asset management strategies.

Our Strategy

Our RPI strategy is integrated into the asset management of the investment corporations and is implemented by all operational functions of the company during the entire ownership cycle, from its acquisition to the ongoing asset management, marketing, renovation and maintenance through sale.
