In the real estate business involving the Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group, since development and operation of houses, office buildings, commercial facilities, resort facilities, etc. are going on for a long time and many stakeholders are involved, we recognize that we need to work on the entire supply chain in cooperation with stakeholders (design companies, construction companies, customers etc.).
Also, since we utilize large amounts of resources from the environment for our business activities, we will work on the entire supply chain for energy use, water resources conservation, biodiversity conservation, saving resources, reduction of pollutants and waste and appropriate treatment.
-Energy use- We will promote the efficient use of energy and the use of renewable energy throughout the entire group and will endeavor to reduce the impact of CO2 / GHG emissions from business activities on climate change.
-Water Resource- In order to properly manage water resources according to region / time and efficiently use water resources , it is necessary to work in cooperation with stakeholders.
Also, Japan, where many of our business sites are concentrated, has yet to experience chronic water shortage, but in our business activities, we recognize that it is necessary to consider the water resources used for the production of imported materials (so-called “virtual water”).
-Biodiversity Conservation- Land development and materials procurement in our business activities are highly dependent on ecosystem services. Because damaging the ecosystem makes it difficult to receive such service, the Group will conduct appropriate material procurement and ecosystem surveys in collaboration with our stakeholders and work on biodiversity conservation.
-Saving Resources- The Group recognizes that the responsible use of resources is an important environmental issue because global environmental resources are finite. We also believe that it is important to endeavor to use resources more effectively based on an approach incorporating the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle); instead of using vast amounts of resources for our businesses. The Group will work with stakeholders to use resources responsibly and more effectively.
-Reduction of Pollutants and Waste and Appropriate Treatment- The Group recognizes that the reducing emissions of pollutants and waste in business activities is one of the corporate social responsibilities. The Group will work to reduce the impact for the environment in cooperation with design firms and construction companies to reduce pollutants and waste discharges, reduce materials causing the pollutants and waste, and apply appropriate treatment when discharging it we will work.
The Group has established the Sustainability Committee headed by the President & CEO, and to address environmental issues within the supply chain, the Sustainability Council, established as a subcommittee, leads relevant management activities across the entire Group.
The Sustainability Council, comprised of environmental and sustainability managers from each group company, sets group-wide fiscal year targets for water use issues, monitors results and shares information based on a shared policy. This ensures proper reporting under relevant laws and regulations and environmental impacts are reduced through business activities.

《Case study》
In November 2015, the entire Futako Tamagawa Rise development became the first location in the world to receive LEED for Neighborhood Development Gold certification. This neighborhood development project received high marks not only for its verdant surrounding environment next to the Tama River, but also for its excellent access to public transportation, high density, compact development, and its initiatives for biodiversity and the more efficient use of energy.
In fiscal 2020, we received the DBJ Green Building 5 Star as a building with outstanding "environmental and social considerations" that is one of the best in Japan at Tokyo Port City Takeshiba Office Tower.
In addition, we are also actively working to acquire CASBEE and DBJ Green Building certification for our residential, office and commercial facility developments as part of our efforts to display environmental performance.
*LEED
A green building certification program administered by the U.S. Green Building Council.
We aim to reduce water use per floor area of our business offices and real estate portfolio by fiscal 2030 compared to the previous fiscal year. For the fiscal year 2022, the actual performance for the target of water usage per floor area, set at 1.4 (m³/m²), was 1.7 (m³/m²). The goal for the fiscal year 2023 is to achieve a value below 1.7 (m³/m²).
We aim to achieve a reduction of 46.2% in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from our real estate portfolio by 2030, compared to the 2019 fiscal year.
Tackling the real estate business in consideration of global environmental issues such as energy use, water resource, biodiversity conservation, resource saving, reduction of pollutants and waste and appropriate treatment will create business opportunities and enhance the competitiveness of the Group. It is based on this awareness that we will work with tenants and other stakeholders to help protect the environment across the entire supply chain of our businesses.
Training and providing programs to raise employees' environmental awareness and sustainability awareness
Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group implements various programs and training to raise awareness of sustainability (including environmental themes) among group employees. In addition, we conduct a survey once every six months to check the progress.
Tokyu Land Corporation distributes sustainable procurement policies to the suppliers, construction companies, and confirms the status of suppliers‘ compliance with environmental policies. If there are issues, we aim to build a responsible supply chain by coordinating and cooperating with each other.
Tokyu Re・design Corporation conducts training every year for the managers and staff of construction companies as suppliers at safety competitions, etc. Among them, we explain the environmental policy and strive to spread it. In fiscal 2021, we held training on handling construction waste and measures to prevent environmental pollution due to hazardous substances generated during work, and in fiscal 2022, we held training on sustainable procurement in accordance with our environmental policy.
We believe that GHG gas emissions during building construction and material procurement methods are among the factors that have the greatest impact on the environment for our group. Therefore, Tokyu Fudosan Holdings requests its general contractors, its suppliers, to report on GHG gas emissions and use of formwork timber certification, and receives reports every year.
TOKYU LAND CORPORATION presents its sustainable procurement policy to general contractors when making estimates. Our procurement policy states, ``In response to climate change, we promote the efficient use of energy and the use of renewable energy not only through our business activities but also throughout the life cycle of our products and services. We request our suppliers to reduce their impact on the environment.
Tokyu Fudosan Holdings has introduced a green lease clause in some of the lease contracts for office buildings, commercial facilities, and housing that we operate and manage.
Tokyu Fudosan Holdings has introduced a green lease clause in some of the lease contracts for office buildings, commercial facilities, and housing that we operate and manage. In collaboration with tenants, we are actively promoting efforts to reduce the environmental load of facilities and compliance with environment-related laws and regulations.
Tokyu Land Corporation actively employs energy saving equipment and is constantly working to improve the management and operation of equipment that consume large amounts of energy, such as air conditioners.
At Abeno Q's Mall in the Abeno Ward of Osaka, Tokyu Land Corporation together with business owners and tenants jointly operates the Motto Save system with Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. that makes it possible to mitigate CO₂ emissions. This system aggregates energy usage data for the common space and private space of the mall on a cloud so that business owners and tenants can check, analyze and share findings about the energy usage data of each tenant.
We will continue to work on energy saving measures with the goal of realizing a low-carbon society in the future.

Commitment to Green Field Development
Tokyu Land Corporation is committed to utilizing underutilized and underutilized agricultural land and green spaces in a way that contributes to the local community.
・In December 2022, we started operation of the "Riene Solar Farm Higashimatsuyama Solar Power Plant" as part of our efforts to simultaneously solve the dual problems of energy and agriculture.
・Aiming to eliminate idle farmland, we will develop a highly productive next-generation facility horticultural park, and realize a land improvement project that involves the creation of non-agricultural land that systematically responds to urban land demand. Agricultural land conversion and development permission has been obtained for a non-agricultural land area created in a land improvement business district in Shiraoka City, Saitama Prefecture.

Tokyu Land Corporation has introduced energy data aggregation systems at some 200 office buildings, commercial facilities and resorts that it owns or uses in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions. The visualization of energy usage enables tenants of office buildings and commercial facilities to check and analyze their energy usage to carry out activities that more efficiently help to reduce CO2 emissions.

Tokyu Community Corporation has been selected to be an MEMS aggregator as an energy management service provider
Tokyu Community Corporation has been selected to be an MEMS aggregator as an energy management service provider by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. It is adopting MEMS (condominium energy management systems) and bulk high-voltage electricity receiving services (a type of energy-saving system) in the condominiums that it manages.
These systems were introduced for approximately 786 housing units during FY2014 as part of efforts to reduce energy use at existing condominiums.
The Tokyu Harvest Club Atami Izusan & VIALA was opened as a resort hotel in harmony with nature in 2013. The resort hotel has been making efforts to conserve water resources through the use of water-saving toilets and reducing the use of tap water by actively using mountain groundwater.
At Tokyu Harvest Club Hotel Hakone Koshien and VIALA Hakone Hisui, efforts are also being made to use water effectively through the reuse of underground spring water from the premises.
The office building "Kasumigaseki Tokyu Building" developed by Tokyu Land Corporation has introduced facilities to utilize rainwater falling on the roof.
The collected rainwater is used for miscellaneous water such as toilet wash water to save water usage. Water retention pavement for suppressing the rise in road surface temperature is laid on a part of the outer structure by thermal evaporation of water vapor, and it is expected that the heat island phenomenon will be mitigated.

Tokyu Fudosan Holdings distributes the Sustainable Procurement Policy to its supplier construction companies and at the same time conducts questionnaires to check the status of each company with the goal of achieving a 100% compliance rate with the Environmental Policy by fiscal 2030.
Tokyu Fudosan Holdings distributes the Sustainable Procurement Policy to its supplier construction companies and at the same time conducts questionnaires to check the status of each company with the goal of achieving a 100% compliance rate with the Environmental Policy by fiscal 2030. If any issues arise during this process, Tokyu Land Corporation and the construction companies will work together to address them, aiming to build a responsible supply chain. In fiscal 2021, 36% of the construction companies surveyed confirmed that their suppliers had a sustainable procurement policy that includes biodiversity.
Much of plywood used for concrete formwork in Japan is made of south-sea timber logged in Malaysia, Indonesia and other nations, and environmental destruction in the native forests and land grabbing from indigenous peoples have become a problem. In light of this situation, Tokyu Land Corporation , in cooperation with its tier-1 suppliers, construction companies, has pledged to procure 100% of its plywood for concrete forms from sustainable sources such as FSC or PEFC certified or domestic timber by fiscal 2030, with emphasis on environmental protection and human rights issues. In fiscal 2021, 48% of construction companies indicated that certified or domestic lumber was available for formwork plywood.
The Group formulates a Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) by identifying areas in all of our real estate portfolio that have sites, species, and functions of particular importance for conservation. In the relevant areas, biodiversity monitoring by experts is conducted on a regular basis, and the results are reflected in the management plan in an effort to conserve biodiversity.
Resort Town Tateshina plans to establish a monitoring plan to survey the habitat and growth environment of plants and animals in the villa area and surrounding wooded areas, etc., and if there are any rare plant or animal species or threats to the habitat or growth environment, countermeasures will be considered and utilized in the green space management plan.
