Relating to Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd.’s Environmental and Social
Data within its ESG Data Book 2019 for the fiscal year 2018
This Assurance Statement has been prepared for Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. in accordance with our contract but
is intended for the readers of this Report.

Terms of engagement

Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance Limited (LR) was commissioned by Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. (“the Company”)
to provide independent assurance on its environmental and social data within its ESG Data Book 2019 (“thereport”) for the fiscal year 2018, that is, from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019, against the assurance criteria below
to a limited level of assurance and at the materiality of the professional judgement of the verifier using ISAE 3000
and ISO 14064 - 3 for greenhouse gas (“GHG”) data.
Our assurance engagement covered the Company’s operations and activities in Japan and specifically thefollowing requirements:• Verifying conformance with the Company’s reporting methodologies• Evaluating the accuracy and reliability of data for the selected indicators listed below:
Environmental indicator 1 2• Energy consumption (in kilo-liter of crude oilequivalent)• Scope 1 GHG emissions (tonnes CO2e)• Scope 2 GHG emissions (Market-based) (tonnes CO2)
• Scope 3 GHG emissions (Category 1, 3, 5) (tonnesCO2e)• Tap water consumption volume (m3)• Total waste generated (tonnes)

Social indicator• Employment rate of persons with disabilities 3• Rate of health check-ups• Average number of paid leave days taken 4• Rate of paid leave days taken• Number of lost time injury• Total days lost due to absenteeism• Turnover rate (Only for PersonalCircumstances)

Our assurance engagement excluded the data and information of the Company’s subsidiary companies,suppliers, contractors and any third-parties mentioned in the report.
LR’s responsibility is only to the Company. LR disclaims any liability or responsibility to others as explained in theend footnote. The Company’s responsibility is for collecting, aggregating, analysing and presenting all the dataand information within the report and for maintaining effective internal controls over the systems from which thereport is derived. Ultimately, the report has been approved by, and remains the responsibility of the Company.

LR’s Opinion

Based on LR’s approach nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that Company has not,in all material respects:• Met the requirements above• Disclosed accurate and reliable performance data
The opinion expressed is formed on the basis of a limited level of assurance and at the materiality of theprofessional judgement of the verifier.
Note: The extent of evidence-gathering for a limited assurance engagement is less than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Limited
assurance engagements focus on aggregated data rather than physically checking source data at sites. Consequently, the level of assurance

Systemobtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonableassurance engagement been performed.

LR’s approach

LR’s assurance engagements are carried out in accordance with ISAE3000 and ISO 14064 - 3. The following tasks
though were undertaken as part of the evidence gathering process for this assurance engagement:• Auditing the Company’s data management systems to confirm that there were no significant errors,omissions or mis-statements in the report. We did this by reviewing the effectiveness of data handlingprocedures, instructions and systems, including those for internal verification;• Interviewing with key people responsible for compiling the data and drafting the report;• Sampling datasets and tracing activity data back to aggregated levels;• Verifying the historical Environmental / Social data and records for the fiscal year 2018; and• Visiting Nihonbashi Building and Tokyo Square Garden to assess whether the data management systems
have been effectively implemented.

Observations

The company has demonstrated improvement in its data management system compared to that of last fiscal year.
However, the Company should maintain the reliability of its future environmental and social performance data.
And, regarding its Scope 3 GHG emissions which began to be disclosed this fiscal year, this is particular to expand
the reporting boundaries of its Scope 3 GHG emissions across its entire value chain.
LR’s standards, competence and independenceLR implements and maintains a comprehensive management system that meets accreditation requirements for
ISO 14065 Greenhouse gases – Requirements for greenhouse gas validation and verification bodies for use inaccreditation or other forms of recognition and ISO/IEC 17021-1 Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies
providing audit and certification of management systems – Part 1: Requirements that are at least as demanding as
the requirements of the International Standard on Quality Control 1 and comply with the Code of Ethics forProfessional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants.
LR ensures the selection of appropriately qualified individuals based on their qualifications, training andexperience. The outcome of all verification and certification assessments is then internally reviewed by senior
management to ensure that the approach applied is rigorous and transparent.
This is the only work undertaken by LR for Company and as such does not compromise our independence orimpartiality.
