Policy for the Utilization of Water Resources
The Company does not engage in business in regions facing high water stress, as defined in the World Resource Institute's (WRI's)* Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. We recognize that the conservation and efficient utilization of water resources mitigates adverse impacts on the environment while contributing to compliance with wastewater-related regulations, such as the Water Pollution Prevention Act, and local ordinances, and to reducing running costs. Based on this recognition, the Company will appropriately understand and manage the water consumption status of owned properties, and work to ensure the sustainable utilization of water resources through the implementation of various water conservation measures.

Strategy
Introduction of water-saving equipment
We are gradually updating plumbing facilities such as toilets, and working to reduce water consumption in owned properties while enhancing comfort.

Rainwater infiltration and groundwater conservation
By adopting the use of permeable paving materials, etc., for building exteriors, footpaths, car parks and others to allow rainwater to filter through to the ground, we are striving to prevent rainwater from flowing into rivers and oceans all at once and to conserve groundwater.
Water stress
The Company does not engage in business in regions with water stress identified as "high" or above in the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, the WRI's water stress evaluation tool.
