In April 2025, the Mitsui Fudosan Group formulated its Declaration of Coexistence with the Environment in Neighborhood Creation, titled & EARTH for Nature, which clearly states the vision for which the Group is aiming through coexistence with the environment in neighborhood creation. Reexamining the consideration for nature that we have accumulated on-site so far and the relationships we have built up between people and local communities, this declaration represents the universal values and basic stance of the Group.（PP.62-64）
Neighborhoods are places where people gather, work, and live, but at the same time they are also places where people interact with nature, learn, and grow. We consider nature, people, and the local community to be one and the same, a single entity we refer to as an “environment.” Rather than simply protecting nature, we believe that it is through people’s involvement that we can pass on the environment to future generations—this approach lies at the heart of our neighborhood creation.
For example, in Tokyo’s Nihonbashi district, where the Company was founded, we rebuilt Fukutoku Shrine and developed Fukutoku Garden, creating a space where nature, people, and culture can coexist while respecting the history of the area. Through the revitalization of green spaces in TOKYO MIDTOWN, biodiversity has been restored, to the stage at which rare birds have begun to visit.
Projects centered on coexistence with nature are spreading not only in Tokyo but also throughout Japan. In our Group-owned forests in Hokkaido, we are working to create “never-ending forests,” where the aim is a cycle of planting, cultivating, and use. At Nemu Resort, which is located in Ise-Shima National Park, we provide opportunities for visitors to engage with bountiful nature as a “resort that nurtures satoyama, sea, and forests.” Within the site, a satoyama-style aquatic garden has been created. In this area that connects the forest and the sea, you can encounter seasonal creatures, such as kingfishers, ducks, killifish, and freshwater crabs. Plants such as irises and hydrangeas add a beautiful touch to the garden, and the space is maintained using natural materials, with consideration given to the balance of the ecosystem.
From Nihonbashi, the district where the Company was founded, we aim to expand our network of prosperous environments throughout Japan through neighborhood creation. To achieve this, we will take our efforts to the next level with each project.
Together with these efforts to coexist with the environment, responding to climate change is one of our greatest responsibilities. In order to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we are making steady progress with our decarbonization efforts, for example, by making emission calculations and reduction plans obligatory during construction in the case of all new projects.
Environmental and social sustainability also have deep connections with human rights. With this in mind, the Group will continue to take such measures as practicing human rights due diligence with regard to business and human rights, and steadily work to identify and mitigate risks, including those in the supply chain.
In tackling the complex challenges of sustainability, the capabilities of people with diverse values are indispensable. In addition to furthering our diversity and inclusion endeavors, we will also work carefully as a group, united as One Team, to engage in dialogue with each and every workplace. I believe that this accumulation of efforts will serve as a driving force behind the creation of a sustainable future.
While facing nature, people, and local communities with sincerity, the Mitsui Fudosan Group will foster value that will continue long into the future and lead to sustainable economic growth.
