Group Policy
Through urban development and providing products and services that leverage property development and property-related services, the Company will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions to address climate change as a shared international concern. As such, we have identified decarbonization, biodiversity, and circular design as our three priority issues (materiality) and will promote them Company-wide. In addition, the Group has to date been actively participating in international initiatives, from obtaining SBT certification (35% reduction compared to fiscal 2019) and endorsing the TCFD to joining the RE100, and we intend to continue playing an active role in such initiatives.
Management
We are taking measures to improve Group-wide environmental management under the leadership of Nomura Real Estate Holdings president and Group CEO.
The Sustainability Committee, which comprises Nomura Real Estate Holdings and Group company directors and others and is chaired by the Nomura Real Estate Holdings president and Group CEO, deliberates on and decides related policies and action plans. The Sustainability Committee also sets targets and monitors progress for the Group’s priority issues: decarbonization, biodiversity, and circular design.
An environmental subcommittee has been established as the Sustainability Committee’s subordinate organization under the supervision of the officer responsible for quality management and architectural design. Furthermore, we have signed the UN Global Compact in May 2019. Based on the principles of the UN initiative, we will support a precautionary approach, such as climate change mitigation, to environmental problems, and proactively fulfill our responsibility to address environmental problems.
Environmental Subcommittee
Consists of members from the architecture and product design-related departments at Nomura Real Estate Development, the environmental technology-related departments at Nomura Real Estate Partners, and the Sustainability Management Department and meets as needed. In fiscal 2022, it held three meetings to mainly discuss reducing CO2 emissions and using renewable energy.
