Tokyo, Japan, May 10, 2021 – Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, announced today that it will promote the greening of power consumption in the common areas of all facilities (hereafter, “Mitsui Fudosan’s power consumption”) that it owns in the Tokyo area (including partially owned facilities), such as office buildings, commercial facilities, hotels, logistics facilities, and rental housing, by fiscal 2030.

Of these, 25 buildings have been positioned as the first phase, including the 3 Tokyo Midtown facilities and all key mixed-use buildings in the Nihonbashi area. Greening of power consumption in these buildings will be completed by the end of fiscal 2022.

1．Mitsui Fudosan to accelerate greening of power consumption

In December 2020, Mitsui Fudosan concluded a comprehensive agreement with TEPCO Energy Partner, Incorporated*2 for the greening of power consumption in office buildings, etc. that it owns and leases in the Tokyo area, totaling approximately 600 million kWh, by fiscal 2030. In addition to this agreement, Mitsui Fudosan began greening power consumption in partnership with other power companies on April 1, 2021.

Furthermore, the greening of power consumption at Tokyo Midtown Yaesu (scheduled for completion in August 2022), to which power will be supplied by a specially designated power supply company, will utilize the environmental value of solar power generation facilities owned and developed by Mitsui Fudosan*3. We will also promote greening of power consumption in the Nihonbashi and Toyosu areas from the second half of fiscal 2021 through the use of non-fossil fuel certificates with tracking information.

In addition to these programs, Mitsui Fudosan targets the greening of all facilities it owns in the Tokyo area (including partially owned facilities) by fiscal 2030, and will expand schemes for greening power consumption that fit the needs of each facility.

Mitsui Fudosan currently owns around 120 facilities. Based on this number, total annual greened power consumption is approximately 300 million kWh, which is equivalent to around 30 times the power consumption of the common areas of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya. The CO2 reduction effect of this program will be approximately 123,000 tonnes, roughly equivalent to the total emissions of 69,000 households*4.

As the first phase, Mitsui Fudosan’s power consumption will be greened at 25 buildings by the end of fiscal 2022. Combined with greened power consumption by tenants (see below), total greened power consumption at the end of fiscal 2022 is estimated to exceed 200 million kWh with a CO2 reduction effect of around 82,000 tonnes, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption of around 46,000 households*4

3．Reasons for and objectives of greening Mitsui Fudosan’s power consumption

The Paris Agreement, which was adopted in 2015, set the goal of becoming a carbon-free society. The Japanese government has also announced under its growth strategy the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We are aware that the development and use of renewable energy is a social challenge that should be solved together by the public and private sectors.
Mitsui Fudosan provides solutions and services that are consistent with companies’ social missions and management challenges amid the rapid diversification of work styles driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to solve our customers’ problems by responding to their needs. Alongside the greening of power consumption, we are promoting further energy-saving initiatives at our facilities and the creation of renewable energy at our facilities and elsewhere, working with our tenants and joint project owners on carbon-free management in Tokyo and nationwide so that we can create a sustainable society and contribute toward SDGs.
