Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd.
Tokyo, Japan, November 17, 2025 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, announced today that it has been awarded the highest rating of Gold in the PRIDE Index 2025*, a system for evaluating companies and organizations’ initiatives on LGBTQ+ issues.
The Company views its human resources as an asset that supports strategies for realizing the Group’s Vision—“Contribute to the creation of added value for society as an industry developer”—and drives the ongoing creation of new value. With this understanding, the Company positions D&I promotion as one of its key management strategies. The entire Group is working together to become an organization in which human resources with diverse values, talents, and lifestyles can demonstrate their potential to the fullest. As part of this effort, it has worked to develop various LGBTQ+ systems and frameworks, as well as to promote understanding and foster a culture of acceptance through training and other initiatives. These efforts to create a comfortable workplace for LGBTQ+ employees earned the Company this recognition.
Going forward, the Company will continue to aim to realize its Vision and promote D&I by having diverse human resources with varying backgrounds and values demonstrate their abilities to the fullest, share opinions and information, and generate a chain reaction.
* Formulated in 2016 by “work with Pride” in order to create workplaces in Japan that are comfortable for sexual minorities such as LGBTQ+, the PRIDE Index is Japan’s first-ever system for evaluating the LGBTQ+ initiatives of companies and organizations.
The index awards ratings of Gold, Silver, and Bronze to companies and organizations based on the scores they receive for fulfilling the designated requirements in the following five categories: Policy (declaration of conduct), Representation (community of LGBTQ+ individuals), Inspiration (awareness-raising activities), Development (HR systems and programs), and Engagement/Empowerment (social contribution and public relations activities).

■Sustainability in the Mitsui Fudosan Group
Based on the meaning of its “& mark,” “to generate new value with society through cooperation, coexistence and co-creation, we forge ahead, innovating,” the Mitsui Fudosan Group views the “creation of social value” and the “creation of economic value” as two wheels of a cart. Accordingly, we believe that the creation of social value leads to the creation of economic value, and that this economic value then creates even greater social value.
Moreover, we identified six Group Materiality priority issues when formulating our new management philosophy in April 2024. These Group Materiality priority issues are (1) Contribute to industrial competitiveness, (2) Coexist with the environment, (3) Health and Vitality, (4) Safety and security, (5) Diversity and inclusion, and (6) Compliance and governance. The Mitsui Fudosan Group will work to address each of the materialities through its core business activities and contribute to the promotion of sustainability.
