Data
Third-Party AssuranceTokyo Tatemono was established in 1896 by Zenjiro Yasuda, the founder of the former
Yasuda Zaibatsu. Eiichi Shibusawa, the father of modern Japanese capitalism, was also deeply
involved in the establishment of the company, which has the longest history of business
operations in Japan as a comprehensive real estate company. In recent years, there has beena growth of interest around the world in stakeholder capitalism, which aims to correct side
effects of conventional capitalism such as widening inequality and excessive emphasis on
short-term profitability. Many entrepreneurs, including Yasuda and Shibusawa, were ahead of
their time with respect to this thinking. They aspired to find a balance between ethics andeconomics and their philosophy has continued to the present day. I believe that the Tokyo
Tatemono Group is one company that has fully inherited that spirit.
In our long-term vision, “Becoming a Next-Generation Developer,” formulated in February
2020, we set forth our aim to be a good company for all stakeholders. We will pursue balance
at a higher level through our business, developing solutions to social issues while driving
growth as a company. This is a simple expression of our ideal corporate image. A “goodcompany” as defined in our long-term vision is one whose employees are doing work that they
can be proud of, work that is recognized by their families. By extension, the Group needs tobe a company that is valued by all its stakeholders. This does not mean that we are in the best
condition for all stakeholders at a certain moment, but rather that we strive to consider all
stakeholders in a balanced way from a medium- to long-term perspective. This will ultimately
enhance our corporate value and make our Group sustainable.
The Group has always been committed to quality as well as business scale and sales
growth; we incorporate the standpoint of the customer as we develop our business. I strongly
believe that this attitude is vital for earning the trust of our stakeholders. Without such trust,
there can be no sustainable business growth for our Group.

Reviewing materiality and accelerating efforts to resolve social issues
In 2020, the global economy was rocked by the coronavirus pandemic, which led to widespreadcity lockdowns and restrictions on movements. At the same time, the year also brought a marked
increase in demand for ESG initiatives, with global ESG investments exceeding 730 billion dollars.
In the area of climate change, Japan followed many other countries in the world in declaring that it
will be carbon neutral by 2050.
Our Long-Term Vision, “Becoming a Next-Generation Developer” focuses on 2030, which isalso the target year for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many aspects of ourcontribution to the SDGs directly correspond to our efforts to build relationships of trust with ourstakeholders. When we formulated the Long-Term Vision, we established the Sustainability
Committee under my direct jurisdiction. The aim of the Committee is to realign our existingsustainability initiatives and further accelerate them throughout the Group.
In June of this year, we revised our materiality to respond to rapid changes in social trends.
Focusing the value we can deliver to society through our business, we reviewed the priority issues
that we should address. As a result of this process, we have newly identified 14 material issues as
relevant to achieving our long-term vision.
In addition, in May of this year, we established the Tokyo Tatemono Group Human Rights Policy
and Sustainable Procurement Standards to ensure respect for human rights and sustainable andresponsible procurement throughout our business activities.

Third-Party AssuranceWith roots more than a century old, our enterprising spirit is a driving force for realizing
our long-term vision
Our advanced efforts to solve social issues are also bearing fruit.
The Hareza Tower, an office building completed in May 2020 within Hareza Ikebukuro, hasacquired ZEB Ready certification. This is the first certification for a super high-rise mixed-usebuilding. In addition, we continue to develop properties that lead the industry in environmentalperformance. For example, Brillia Tower Seiseki Sakuragaoka Blooming Residence (launched inMarch 2021) meets ZEH-M Oriented standards and is the only property in the Tokyo metropolitan
area to be selected for the FY2019 Super High-Rise ZEH-M Demonstration Project.
In July 2020, we became the first real estate sector company in Japan to issue a sustainability
bond. This was the largest sustainability bond ever issued by a general business company inJapan, receiving a record number of investment commitments. This is an advanced initiative thatwill use the proceeds for urban development of the Yaesu, Nihonbashi, and Kyobashi areas aroundTokyo Station. A series of projects will not only improve the environmental performance ofindividual buildings, but also comprehensively address social and environmental issues. Throughthe redevelopment of the Yaesu, Nihonbashi, and Kyobashi areas, we aim to create an “innovationecosystem” for industry, academia, and government. The concept of this project is to enable awide range of players from large corporations and venture companies to investors and research
institutes to accumulate in the area and interact with each other. We hope that this will in turn leadto the development of new fields and generate a virtuous cycle of economic growth.
In addition, we are also working to respond to diversifying lifestyles. Brillia City Nishi-Waseda,
which opened its model room in July 2020 and started sales in September 2020, has floor plansand common areas that are designed with child-rearing in mind. To meet the increasing demand
for working from home and remote working, the property also has a co-working lounge that canbe used by local residents. We have received strongly positive feedback about these amenities
from our customers.
These new initiatives to enhance the urban environment are a testament to the enterprisingspirit that we have carried with us since our founding—that of boldly embracing new challenges
without excessive fear of failure. I believe that spirit will continue to be a driving force in realizing
our long-term vision.

Engaging sincerely with our customers to secure their trust for the future
We live in a time of rapid social change. But even as IT technology such as real estate techcontinues to advance further in the future, I strongly believe that our corporate philosophy, with its
emphasis on trust, is our indispensable DNA.
Trust originates with the way each employee deals with customers. I often say to employeesthat I want them to hone their ability to understand not only the information they see and hear from
customers, but also to understand each customer’s feelings and standpoint. Grasping a sense ofthings intuitively and perceiving meaning in this way is what enables us to create new value. The
relationship of trust with our customers and business partners will lead to our next business. Thisis the kind of business development we should aim for. Every project, regardless of how big it may
be, starts with obtaining information. I want our employees to refine their ability to see the essenceof things and build trust that will last into the future. That is how we build our reputation so that
potential customers will think of turning to Tokyo Tatemono first.
Empowered by the trust placed in us by our stakeholders, the Tokyo Tatemono Group willcontinue to pursue sustainable growth. I would like to ask all of our stakeholders for theircontinued understanding and support of our Group.
