Relations with Local Communities

Basic Concept

We regard our connections and relationships of trust with all stakeholders as an important form of capital for value creation. We believe it is the Company’s mission to create new value for society through the various initiatives that we undertake together with our stakeholders. We will continue to promote these initiatives, and build solid relationships with all of our stakeholders.

Relations with Local Communities

Under our Code of Conduct of “We will establish a good relationship with the community and actively engage in social contribution activities as a good citizen”, as a real estate company fully grounded in the local community, we are continuously and actively engaged in local contribution activities such as donations, participation in community clean-up activities, and support for local events. We believe such steady contribution activities in local communities help to invigorate the areas, which will also lead to the Company’s growth.

Yodoyabashi Building Illumination

As part of our local community initiatives, we decorate the camphor trees surrounding the Yodoyabashi Building with lights every year, from November through Christmas. Numerous LED light bulbs paint the wintertime Yodoyabashi Building with a warm light.

Midosuji Illumination Supporters’ Trees

Through the Supporters’ Trees Project, participated in by donors to the Midosuji Illumination Fund, message plaques are mounted on the gingko trees along Midosuji Road. Every year, the Company invites employees to propose messages and actively participates in this project that dovetails with the illuminations and helps to invigorate the area.
