The sustainability vision of the Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group (hereinafter, “the Group”) is, “We will solve social issues through our business activities and work with stakeholders to realize a sustainable society and growth.” To achieve this vision, the Group will treat environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters as important management issues and promote ESG management.

As social and environmental issues have become even more pressing in recent years, stakeholders and society increasingly expect that corporate decision-making and other business activities be based on sustainability as well as profitability.

With the aim of always maintaining stakeholder trust, the Group strives to contribute to economic and social development by maintaining sound business operations based on proper fulfillment of social responsibilities and its public mission, while striving for thorough compliance.

By promoting procurement under this Policy, the Group will strengthen ESG management to realize corporate growth and a sustainable society. Therefore, it will be necessary and important to engage the entire supply chain, including business partners.
