At Mitsui Fudosan Group's retail facilities, we are developing various eco events and social philanthropic activities under the motto “Eco Hello!” By providing “a place and opportunity” for families and groups to enjoy engaging in activities, we aim to develop our retail facilities that grow with customers and the community. In this section, we mainly introduce activities carried out during fiscal 2008.
This is a preferential service given to customers who use the parking lot with hybrid cars, which are earth-friendly. After presenting their vehicle inspection certificate, they are given a “driver's card” and a ticket which allows them to park for 2 hours free of charge. From the second time and after, they are given a ticket which allows them to park for 2 hours free of charge if they present their “driver's card.” This service is available in four facilities and we are planning to increase the number of facilities where this service is available.

As a countermeasure against global warming, we implemented a campaign to set the temperature of air conditioners inside buildings during the summer at a higher temperature than normal. We strove to heighten awareness of customers through means such as posters, websites, and announcements inside the building. We plan to continue implementing this measure.

With the aim of conducting resource recycling and cooperating in activities to deliver vaccines to children around the world (*1), we installed recycling boxes for pet bottle caps within the facilities.

This is an environment management and social philanthropic activity which entails collecting clothes that are no longer needed in homes and making donations to refugees or disaster victims in around the world through the NPO, Japan Relief Clothing Center. A total of 83 volunteers comprised of employees of Mitsui Fudosan and LaLaport Management Co., Ltd. played a central role in operating activities in March 2009. We are planning to implement such activities twice a year.

As a volunteer at a total of 4 facilities, I had various duties, including providing explanations to visiting customers, accepting clothing that were brought and sorting out or packaging clothes after collection. I was impressed by the high interest shown by customers in social philanthropic activities. For example, there were many customers who came to the facility in the morning to shop, learned about the event, and then returned in the afternoon bringing clothes. However, since this activity was held at each facility for only 1 day, there were customers who could not participate. I think that we need to hold more discussions regarding the period of activity, or ways to announce it beforehand.
Families with children, elderly couples and working women returning from work and student groups. I would like to have more customers who visit our retail facilities participate in this activity and to think about the clothing they no longer need are being used somewhere else in the world. It also would be a joy to see more volunteers within the Company participate.

This is a campaign to save the mountain gorilla which are dramatically decreasing in number because jungles are being damaged as a result of mining for rare metals which are used in mobile phones. We collect and recycle mobile phones that are no longer being used and then donate the profits from selling them to environmental conservation groups. We collected 94 mobile phones over a period of 4 days.
