biodiversity loss and restoring biodiversity by 2030.
The loss of biodiversity is still continuing around the world. In order to halt the loss and enhancebiodiversity, it is important and necessary that society to be transformed in such a way that it cancoexist with nature. In the G7 2030 Nature Compact adopted at the G7 Summit held in the UK in

The Group is committed to giving full consideration to biodiversity in each of our operations, including thedevelopment business. Biodiversity, which is closely related to all environmental issues such as climatechange, conservation of water resources, and environmental pollution, affects the quality of life of ourcustomers and people in the community. Therefore, we promote the following biodiversity conservation
initiatives in cooperation with various stakeholders.

1. Creating green areas through redevelopment
Sumitomo Realty’s redevelopment business contribute to biodiversity. One such example is Sumitomo Fudosan
Osaki Garden City, which involved redevelopment of a former driving school site and a densely built-up district ofwooden housing on the west side.
The area occupied by densely-built wooden houses had contained little greenery and narrow streets which
posed challenges with respect to disaster response. By the completion of Osaki Garden City, the overall
location’s green coverage increased from 0.01% to 35% including its roof greening. In addition, as a part ofcommunity revitalization events, additional cherry trees
associated with the area were planted. The trees planted by
Sumitomo Realty in conjunction with the redevelopment
association will play a role in community revitalization andenhancing biodiversity.
Through our redevelopment projects, not just Osaki Garden
City, we aim to create green areas in numerous areas, thereby
providing spaces for community members to encounter natural< Before >surroundings as well as nurturing rich biodiversity.

Urban development projects tend to involve the removal ofmature trees that are already on sites earmarked for development.
In contrast, Sumitomo Realty seeks to preserve such trees sothat they can be utilized as greenery to accomplish attractive
urban development in harmony with nature. La Tour Sapporo Ito
Garden was developed on the site formerly occupied by
Kairakuen, one of the first municipal parks in Japan. The tract ofvirgin forest is carefully preserved today since the time ofKairakuen.

In urban areas with few parks or open spaces, the creation of green open spaces
is a vital aspect of new development projects. City Tower Kanamachi has an
approximately 3,800m² spacious green area open to the public. With tall trees,various shrubs and flowers, the area provides a source of delight throughout theyear for local residents with places to enjoy the changing beauty of the four
seasons, which is rare in an urban setting.

Sumitomo Realty Group’s company, Izumi Restaurant Co., Ltd., operates Rieven
House convenience stores catering to building tenants. The Rieven House uses
environmentally certified coffee beans grown in Rainforest Alliance Certified
plantations. “Rainforest Alliance Certified” is a certification granted exclusively toplantations that exceed stringent environmental standards, issued by theinternational nonprofit organization Rainforest Alliance which carries out regionwide projects to protect forests.
