Tokyo International Forum
ANNUAL REPORT
東京国際フォーラム 年次報告書

Message from Our President & CEO
I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to express my gratitude for yourcontinued support of our business activities.
Tokyo International Forum opened as the first convention and art center inTokyo on the site of the former Tokyo Metropolitan Government building in
1997. Since that grand opening, our facilities have been utilized for more than
90,000 events thanks to our highly advantageous location, our high standard offacilities and equipment, and our provision of high-quality services.
Throughout those years, we have also disseminated diverse aspects of
information and culture, such as by hosting compelling events that foster alively atmosphere in the local community. This could be considered proof of
our steady commitment to serving as an “excitement-creating company,” amanagement philosophy we have embraced since our opening.
However, the worldwide spread of infections from the novel coronavirus(COVID-19) made 2020 our most difficult fiscal year ever. A state ofPresident & CEO

Kiyofumi Kamijo

emergency was first declared in April, and we closed the entire facility forabout two months, with many subsequent events also canceled voluntarily. We
were also forced to cancel or reduce in size various events that we ourselvesorganize. And the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, for which
Tokyo International Forum will serve as the weightlifting and powerliftingcompetition venue, were postponed for one year.
Under these circumstances, Tokyo International Forum has redoubled its
commitment to its business operations while coping swiftly and appropriately
with the additional needs that COVID-19 has created for our guests. In
addition to providing support to facilitate successful events during thecoronavirus crisis, from the perspective of infection prevention, we madeevery effort to deal appropriately with the changing social environment in
conducting our event hosting business, such as by streaming events online.
While our company continues to face a difficult situation, as vaccinations
proceed, we anticipate a gradual turn toward economic recovery. In thiscontext, in March 2021 we revised our mid-term management plan andredefined the top management challenges we need to address at this time.
Keeping in mind the traditions and ideals we have cultivated thus far, we will
strive to act as one organization to overcome the difficult situation that thecoronavirus crisis presents.
We look forward to your continuing support and patronage of our project
activities at Tokyo International Forum.

Event Hosting
As a space to create and disseminate culture, Tokyo International Forum actively carries out events that bring a lively
ambiance to the area and contribute to the people of Tokyo and society as a whole.
In light of the spread of COVID-19, in fiscal 2020 several of our regular events were canceled or reduced in size.

La Folle Journée TOKYO 2020
The classical music festival “La Folle Journée TOKYO” has been held every year since 2005
during the Golden Week holidays in the Otemachi-Marunouchi-Yurakucho, Kyobashi, Ginza,
Nihonbashi, and Hibiya areas in and around Tokyo International Forum.
For 2020, preparations had been underway for a festival commemorating Beethoven's 250thbirthday, but in light of the worldwide spread of COVID-19 infections, the event was canceled.

J-CULTURE FEST:
Japan, the Japanese Spirit, and First Shrine/Temple Visit of New Year
With the aim of providing opportunities to approach Japanese culture and find new value within, J-CULTURE FEST
started in fiscal 2016 as a Tokyo International Forum project to commemorate the venue's 20th anniversary. Favorably
received by many, that legacy continues, with the event held during every New Year’s Day holiday.
This event usually consists of “performance programs” featuring Japan’s prominent performing artists of music,
kyogen, and kabuki, and the “New Year’s Theme Park,” where guests can experience, discover, and savor the taste ofJapan’s traditional culture and New Year’s customs. However, for 2021, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we
narrowed down the program and venue layout to a public performance entitled “J-CULTURE FEST presents ‘Eternity ina Moment: Song & Dance, Royal Costumes Collection.’”This 2-day program consisted of a spectacular fashion show
introducing Japanese royal costumes, such as ceremonial kimonosand formal court attire from the Nara/Heian period to the presentday, set to a combination of Japanese and Western style music
featuring Takarazuka opera, musical, traditional Japanese dance, achorus, and dancing.
Dates: January 2 (Sat.) - 3 (Sun.), 2021
Venue: Hall B7
Performers: Tsubasa Imai, Tsubasa Makoto, Shinya Niiro, Ayu Manaka, Shinichiro Hino (LE VELVETS), among others

Countermeasures to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19
Tokyo International Forum, with the health and safety of our guests and staff as our top priority, has partnered with theTokyo Metropolitan Government and related organizations to implement thorough countermeasures against COVID-19,
in cooperation with the facilities’ event organizers, related parties, and visitors.
◇Tokyo International Forum’s efforts〇 Antivirus and antibacterial measures for facilities and rental equipment
We have implemented antivirus and antibacterial measures for rental equipment and for themain surfaces in rental facilities, using titania phosphate.
・Titania phosphate is a non-photocatalyst, so it works indoors, even without light, and provides
an outstanding antibacterial effect (virus deactivation), as well as deodorant and stain-proofing
effects.
・Its antiviral performance was demonstrated using the ISO-21702 virus testing method for the novel coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2) distributed by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases.
・This water-soluble agent is excreted without accumulating in the human body andhas no effects on the body.
・After applied, its effects last about five years.
<Main places and equipment where applied>・Flat-floored halls (Halls B7, B5, D7, D5, D1, and E), and the Glass Building conference
rooms Handrails, cafe counters, waiting rooms (chairs, tables, door knobs, switches
for lights and air conditioning, and refrigerator doors).
・Theater-style halls (Halls A and C)
All audience chairs, handrails, cafe counters, waiting rooms (chairs, tables, door
knobs, switches for lights and air conditioning, and refrigerator doors)・Rental equipment
Chairs, tables, writing tables〇 Sterilizing
In addition to regular daily cleaning, we are wiping down places thatguests frequently touch, such as those indicated below, using adisinfectant solution.
・Hand sanitizer placed at every entrance in the facilities.
・Common areas: Doorknobs, escalator and other handrails, and buttons ofelevators and vending machines.
・Rental hall areas: Arm rests of audience chairs (after an event ends). We
are also happy to conduct special tasks as requested by the event
organizers.
〇 Ventilation
・As for Tokyo International Forum's ventilation system, we have installed
ventilation equipment that complies with the Building Standards Act and all applicable laws and regulations, and we areoperating it as appropriate in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
・Every hall and conference room has ventilation equipment that can provide the required ventilation even at full occupancy.
・The system delivers fresh air everywhere throughout the facilities.
〇 Prevention of airborne droplet dispersion
・Acrylic panels installed at information desk andother areas
・Operation of hand dryers in restrooms was
suspended.
〇 Fixtures and services offered to avoid the riskof infection
・Clear panels for podiums, free-standing clear
panels, plastic sheets, social distancing signs,
contactless thermometer rental, venue layout

Installation of Currency Exchange Machine (April 2020)
We installed a currency exchange machine on floor B1 of the Glass Building, on the Tokyo Station side.

＃LightItBlue Illumination to Show Support (May 2020)
To show thanks for the doctors, nurses, and other health care workers
dedicated to treating patients infected with COVID-19, Tokyo International
Forum participated in #LightItBlue.
#LightItBlue was an effort to show thanks to the health care workers
fighting COVID-19 by lighting up buildings in blue. It started in the United
Kingdom and spread around the world. In support of this effort, we
illuminated the Glass Building with blue light to express appreciation andrespect for all those fighting on the front lines.

Recognition from Tokyo Fire Department (November 2020)
Tokyo International Forum conducts its business on the understanding thatsafety and security is our unwavering mission. Every day we are highly awareof the importance of fire and disaster prevention management, and we proactively carry out our duties based on applicable laws and regulations. We
were recognized by the Tokyo Fire Department in their fall fire prevention
campaign for our distinguished service, after strengthening our fire prevention
countermeasures.

Environmental Initiatives
To drive efforts to address environmental issues, Tokyo International Forum has established the Tokyo International
Forum Co., Ltd. Environmental Committee (Chair: Executive Officer and General Manager) within the company and is
working to reduce our environmental burden.

Tokyo International Forum Environmental Policy

July 2008

Basic Principle
As Tokyo International Forum aims to be a leading convention & arts center offering the utmost in quality and service,initiatives that help solve environmental challenges are some of our highest priorities. To help conserve the earth's
environment, we are actively working to reduce our environmental burden, and we put forth every effort in order to achieve asustainable society.

Guidelines for Action
Tokyo International Forum acts according to the following guidelines in an effort to reduce our environmental burden.
1. We comply with the laws and regulations relating to environmental conservation.
2. We consider the environment with respect to the facilities’ management, repairs, and improvement, and in addition toconserving resources and energy, we actively engage in heat island countermeasures.
3. In addition to striving to reduce emissions, we actively utilize environmentally friendly products and services.
4. We disclose our environmental efforts broadly to the community to promote greater communication.
5. We have developed a framework to promote environmental countermeasures, and through environmental education and thelike, we work to improve overall environmental awareness.

1. Initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
The Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance requires businesses to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. It set a baseline emissions based on the average annual GHG emissions for three years between fiscal 2002
and 2007. Since 2010 we have a plan designed in 5-year increments, with phase 1 (fiscal 2010-14) mandating a 6%
reduction from the baseline emissions and phase 2 (2015-19) requiring a 15% reduction, while in phase 3 starting in2020 (2020-24) we must reduce emissions by 25% from the baseline emissions.
Tokyo International Forum actively implemented environmental countermeasures in both physical aspects such as
upgrading to energy-saving air conditioning and lighting equipment as well as administrative aspects such as carefully
managing our operation schedule, allowing us to reduce emissions by even more than the required amount. Our fiscal
2020 emissions amount was 8,712 tons (preliminary estimate), which equals 59.5% of the target amount. The major
reduction in GHG emissions is mainly due to the facilities’ reduced operations as a result of the government's emergency
declaration and request to close business and suspend events to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

2. Initiatives to reduce environmental burden
In order to conserve energy while maintaining guests’ comfort and convenience, thefacilities use an energy management system (EMS) to optimize operation of air
conditioning and other equipment.
Tokyo International Forum tracks its usage of renewable energy on a real-time basis
and displays it using on-site digital signage devices and the official website todisseminate information about its environmental activities in an easy-to-understandmanner.
(1) Solar power generation system
Solar panels are installed on the roofs of the hall buildings. About 600 ㎡ in area, theygenerate 93kW of power, equivalent to the electricity used in about 50 ordinary
households. This power is converted to AC power and used in the buildings.
(2) Solar heat collecting system
The roofs of the halls are equipped with evacuated glass tube-type solar thermalcollectors, covering about 400 ㎡ with a temperature of 85℃. Water heated using
solar heat is supplied to restrooms and showers in the buildings as well as
restaurant kitchens.
(3) Waste water recycling
Waste water from the buildings’ washbasins and restaurant kitchens and rain water falling on thepremises is processed (biotreatment and membrane separation) in a waste water recycling system
and used for flushing toilets, watering plants, and melting snow on the roof of the Glass Building.
About 90% of the water used for flushing toilets and other purposes is recycled water.
(4) Rooftop greening
The roofs of the conference rooms in the Glass Building feature a green belt of rosemary
and liriope platyphylla. In addition to dealing with the heat island and reducing thebuildings’ cooling load, these belts also create refreshing spaces in the structures made ofglass, metal, and stone.
(5) Electrical energy from food waste
Food waste produced by the restaurants and catering service is transformed into electricalenergy. Collected food waste is transported to a recycling plant in Ota City where it is transformed into biogas via
methane fermentation technology. Biogas is used in the factory's cogeneration system to produce energy in the formof electricity. Most of this electricity is then sold to the community surrounding the recycling plant.

3. Provision of environmentally friendly services
Essential to hosting events are the signs used to display event names and give guidance. Because signs are created anddisposed of for each separate event, we have long used system panels to reduce waste.
One product Tokyo International Forum uses in our event support service (setup service) is fully recycled andenvironmentally friendly sign panels called “Reco Boards,” which are made from waste produced in the container
manufacturing process as well as used panels, which are then made into raw materials again after use.

4. Promotion of Eco Mark product use
To reduce our impact on people and the environment, we used Eco Mark certified paint, which is made with fewer
volatile organic compounds (VOC), for some painting during maintenance and repairs.
・This paint contains less than 1g/ liter of aromatic hydrocarbons solvent (5 ingredients).
・The amount of preservatives it contains accounts for 0.5% or less of the overall product’s weight.
・It contains less than 1g/ liter of VOC ingredients.
・The chemicals (heavy metals, etc.) used in the product satisfy the baseline value.

5. SDGs training
In September 2020 a guest instructor from the International Development Center ofJapan conducted internal training for Tokyo International Forum employees, outsourcing
company staff, and facility workers, covering topics from basic knowledge about
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to examples of efforts by industry peers
overseas and similar facilities.
