Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd.

Tokyo, Japan, August 31, 2022 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo (hereinafter “Mitsui Fudosan”), announced today the release of its ESG Report 2022, as well as its certification with a 1.5℃ target for the SBT Initiative and the update of TCFD scenario analysis from 2℃ to 1.5℃.

Under the corporate philosophy of “Coexist in Harmony with Society,” “Link Diverse Values” and “Achieve a Sustainable Society” as represented by the “&” corporate logo, the Mitsui Fudosan Group, with the Vision of “&EARTH,” is committed to social and economic development and global environmental preservation. With regard to climate change, the "Group Action Plan to Realize Decarbonized Society"*1 formulated in November 2021 sets a medium- to long-term target for greenhouse gas emissions of 40%* in FY2030. This target is consistent with the "1.5℃" target agreed to in the Paris Agreement, the international framework for combating climate change, which aims to limit the increase in global average temperature to less than 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels.

  • 46.2% for Scope 1 and Scope 2, achieving net zero by FY2050, both compared with FY2019

We have recently obtained certification for our FY2030 greenhouse gas reduction rate target at "1.5℃" from the Science Based Target (SBT) Initiative, which encourages the setting of science-based reduction targets to achieve the Paris Agreement.

In addition, we have updated* the climate change scenario from 2℃ to 1.5℃ and conducted a scenario analysis of disclosure information based on the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which recommends that companies and others disclose information on climate change-related risks and opportunities. As a result of the scenario analysis, it was confirmed that the Mitsui Fudosan Group’s business is sustainable and has a certain level of resilience even if the world advances to the 1.5℃ scenario in the period from now to 2050.

  • The 4℃ scenario remains unchanged.

Please refer to "ESG Report 2022"*2 for the latest information, including the progress of various ESG KPIs in FY2021.
