● Investment research and investment decision-making. We conduct preliminary investment research to understand how our activities impact material ESG factors and how these can affect our reputation, capital value and stakeholders. Our investment research analyzes various ESG factors such as how we can reduce our environmental load, coexist with local communities where the property is located, contribute to solving social issues, and achieve sustainable growth for all stakeholders. We consider these ESG factors throughout an asset’s lifecycle by tracking and monitoring the sustainability performance of our assets and collaborating with our workforce, partners and communities. The Asset Manager’s Investment Committee considers due diligence findings on ESG factors along with other economic and operational considerations when making a final decision to invest in a property.

● Green bonds. From time to time, we issue investment corporation bonds earmarked for use in certain projects serving as countermeasures against global warming or providing environmental benefits under our green bond framework (collectively, the “green bonds”), which is generally aligned with the Green Bond Principles, a voluntary guideline of International Capital Market Association. Our green bond framework requires the proceeds from our green bonds to be allocated to funds for (i) acquisition of the “Eligible Green Projects” (as defined below) or (ii) refurbishments fulfilling certain “Eligibility Criteria” (as defined below), or (iii) refinancing the existing loans/investment corporation bonds which have been allocated to acquire Eligible Green Projects or refurbishments meeting Eligibility Criteria. Under our green bond framework, the Eligible Green Projects are defined as buildings that have achieved, or are expected to achieve, the top two levels of one or more of the third-party green building certifications/re-certifications under Building Energy-efficiency Labeling System (“BELS”), Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (“CASBEE”) or Development Bank of Japan (“DBJ”) Green Building Certification, within 36 months prior to the payment date of such green bonds. Under our green bond framework, the Eligibility Criteria are defined as refurbishments that have been completed, or are expected to be completed, with a primary purpose of achieving (i) more than 10% reduction in CO2 emissions or energy consumption, (ii) more than 10% reduction in water consumption or (iii) new third-party green building certification or improvement in third-party green building certification required under the Eligible Green Projects, within 36 months prior to the payment date of such green bonds.

In 2021 and 2022, we acquired “2 Stars” in GRESB rating (calculated based on our GRESB overall score and our quintile position relative to global participants), a benchmarking assessment that evaluates sustainability performance of investment companies managing leased properties. In 2021 and 2022, we additionally acquired “Green Star” designation by achieving high performance both in the management component, which evaluates policies and organizational structure for ESG promotion, and the performance component, which assesses environmental performance and tenant engagement of properties. We will continue to aim for higher sustainability performance in our properties by implementing environmental and energy-saving measures and increasing efficiency of energy use, in collaboration with the property managers and other parties.

● Climate change initiatives - Environmental certification. We utilize certain environmental certifications issued by third party organizations to monitor and track the ESG performance at the building level. As of July 31, 2023, approximately 24.4% of the properties in our portfolio had acquired such environmental certification based on gross floor area. As announced in our Sustainability Report 2022, we aim to increase the percentage of our properties with the environmental certifications to 40% based on gross floor area by FY2030. In addition, we use these environmental certifications to determine eligibility of acquisitions of new properties or refurbishments of existing properties for using proceeds of certain investment corporation bonds earmarked for serving as countermeasures against global warming or providing environmental benefits.

● Climate change initiatives - Greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions . We track and monitor GHG emissions intensity, calculated in accordance with the GHG Emissions Accounting, Reporting and Disclosure System established by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan, and aim to reduce the CO2 emissions intensity of our properties by 40% by FY2030 compared to the level in FY2020. Total GHG emissions intensity of our properties was 0.036 t-CO2/m² (in FY2020), 0.036 t-CO2/m² (in FY2021) and 0.036 t-CO2/m² (in FY2022).

● Climate change initiatives - Energy consumption intensity. We track and monitor energy use and energy use intensity with a particular focus on the common areas controlled by ourselves and aim to achieve a medium- to long-term target of 1% average annual reduction in energy use intensity in our portfolios. Specifically, in order to increase the electric power consumption coverage rate at our properties, electric power measuring systems have been installed at four properties as of July 31, 2023, making it possible to measure power consumption at areas exclusively owned by us. Energy consumption intensity of our properties was 0.091 MWh/m² (in FY2020), 0.092 MWh/m² (in FY2021) and 0.093 MWh/m² (in FY2022).

● Climate change initiatives -Water Consumption management. We monitor and track water consumption at our properties and make efforts to meet the criteria for the “Eligible Green Projects” (as defined below) with respect to water consumption intensity in common areas. The water consumption intensity of the common area in our properties is 0.406 m³/m²(in FY2020), 0.283 m³/m² (in FY2021), and 0.300 m³/m² (in FY2022).

● Climate change initiatives – Other ESG data Coverage. We have been kept recording and reporting the daily waste volume at two properties from March 2021 and monitoring the recycle rate based on the waste weight, and the properties under monitoring increased to 15 properties as of July 31, 2023.

● Social initiatives – Local community. The Asset Manager donated through Regional Revitalization Support Tax System for three consecutive years. From 2020, we have participated in a fundraising program in Hokkaido Prefecture, where we own two properties. In 2022, we also donated to the Kyoto City’s SDGs Future City Promotion Plan, as we own one property in Kyoto. We periodically participate in cleanups of the neighborhood’s streets organized by an NPO “Green Bird”. To improve the safety of the residents of our properties and local communities, we have installed vending machines at some of our properties that can provide free drinks as relief supplies to victims of strong earthquakes, typhoons, and other natural disasters. In addition, COMFORIA SHINJUKU EASTSIDE TOWER has been designated by the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo as a property with a disaster provision warehouse and manhole toilets to be used in times of disasters not only for its residents but also for neighboring residents and workers. We have also entered into an emergency mutual assistance agreement with three neighboring town councils to enforce local collaboration.

● Social initiatives – Tenants. We conduct annual tenant satisfaction surveys to obtain requests and opinions from our tenants, including on the Comforia brand as well as our management and operation. An example of improvement made based on such surveys is the increase in the number of delivery lockers, which have grown in demand due to the recent rise of e-commerce.

● Climate change initiatives. The key drivers of our climate change initiatives are energy-saving and emissions reduction. We set a medium- to long-term target of 1% average annual reduction in energy use intensity and in greenhouse gas emissions. At the properties we own and operate, we strive to reduce our environmental load through initiatives such as installation of green space highlighting the natural environment, installation of solar panels on the rooftops for renewable energy usage, energy-efficient glass panels for windows, windowed entrances to make use of natural daylight, replacement of LED lights in common areas and air conditioning units in private areas to reduce power consumption and environmental impact, and introduction of bicycle/scooter sharing space/services to contribute to smart city planning, carbon dioxide reduction and citizen health.

● Environment Management System. We have adopted a unique environment management system that applies the plan-do-check-act cycle. The Asset Manager’s Asset Management Department reviews actual performances in its monthly meeting and reports the results to the management once a year, then receives feedbacks and instructions for further improvement for the following year, from the management.

● Green lease provisions. To reduce our properties’ environmental load, we insert and emphasize green lease provisions in lease contracts related to energy use and disposal of waste to all the tenants. We seek to include green lease provisions in new as well as renewed lease contracts with our tenants. In addition, we conduct air-conditioner temperature setting change in the common space, and common area light turning-down in some properties to raise our tenants’ awareness of energy-saving.

● Local community initiative. Based on our sustainable investment strategy, we donate to and collaborate with local communities on natural disaster and infectious disease prevention efforts. At some of the properties, we have begun to introduce bicycle/scooter sharing space/services to provide convenient and healthy transportation vehicles to the residents living in and nearby our properties, making the connection to local station or neighborhood faster and closer, and contribute to the smart city planning of Tokyo.

● Tenant and employee initiatives. We provide convenient amenities to our tenants at some of our properties and conduct tenant satisfaction surveys annually. For our employees, we support work-style reform such as paid leave and remote work, promote workplace/worktime diversity, implement training programs, and support certification acquisition by the Asset Manager's employees.

● Environmental certification of individual properties. The Asset Manager obtains the relevant data provided by the established third-party organizations that issue environmental certifications for the properties in our portfolio. Obtaining the environmental certifications issued by the established third-party organizations helps to ensure the data quality.

● Environmental initiatives. At the property level, the Asset Manager collects the relevant data from the property managers. At the portfolio level, the Asset Manager compiles relevant data internally.
