In 2001, we established a Group Environmental Policy, and we have helped curb global warming by creating buildings and neighborhoods which conserve energy and have low greenhouse gas emissions, and we have also made efforts in areas such as prevention of environmental pollution, reduction of waste, and conservation of water and biodiversity. As a corporate group supporting office buildings, housing, and other infrastructure necessary for daily life, we will fulfill our social responsibility at an even higher level by making even greater efforts in the future in areas such as environmental conservation.
