Policy

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.

Supplier policy in the environmental supply chain

－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.
 

Property portfolio management policy

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.

Reducing water use with water saving systems and features

Reduction of water usage by using rainwater

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 Land Corporation actively employs energy saving equipment and is constantly working to improve the management

Operating energy management systems together with tenants

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.

Tokyu Land Corporation installs smart meters for the condominium units it sells to encourage the visualization of energy usage.
