STATEMENT ON PRINCIPAL ADVERSE IMPACTS OF INVESTMENTDECISIONS ON SUSTAINABILITY FACTORS
Product name: Nippon Accommodations Fund Inc.
The following is the adverse sustainability impact statement of Nippon Accommodations Fund(“NAF”) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (“SFDR”). NAF has no employees inaccordance with the prohibition on having employees under the Act on Investment Trusts andInvestment Corporations of Japan and relies on Mitsui Fudosan Accommodations FundManagement Co., Ltd. (the “Asset Manager”), to manage and operate the properties in NAF’s
portfolio. NAF and the Asset Manager are hereinafter referred to collectively as “we”, “us”
or “our”.
Please note that SFDR requirements, including the scope of their application to issuers outside
the European Economic Area, continue to evolve. We are therefore taking a principles-based
approach to compliance with the SFDR disclosure standards, which are subject to change.
1. Summary
We consider principal adverse impacts of our investment decisions on sustainability factors.
The present statement is our consolidated statement on the principal adverse impacts onsustainability factors (“PAI”). This statement on PAI covers the reference period from January1,
2022 to December 31, 2022. The statement will be reviewed at least once during every twelvemonth period ending on December 31 of each year.
We believe that our sustainability initiatives are essential for our sustainable growth. We
improve mid and long-term returns of investors and contribute to the realization of sustainable
society and urban development by implementing initiatives that address ongoing social andlifestyle changes. Under our sustainability policies, we, in collaboration with the AssetManager, take actions on climate change, including energy saving and reduction of CO2
emissions, introduction of renewable energy, and preserving water environment and promoting
resource saving and waste reduction.
We use the definition of PAI as described in Recital 20 of SFDR being “those impacts ofinvestment decisions and advice that result in negative effects on sustainability factors”, withsustainability factors referring to environmental, social and employee matters, respect forhuman rights, anti‐corruption and anti‐bribery matters as defined in Article 2 (24) of SFDR.
We believe that investment decisions that negatively affect climate or other environmentrelated resources, or have negative implications for society, can have a significant impact torisk and value creation for NAF’s unitholders. To this end, we consider PAI of our investment
decisions throughout all major steps of the investment decision and property management
process throughout the lifecycle of the properties in our portfolio.
2. Description of principal adverse sustainability impacts
Nearly all types of economic activity have the potential to impact various PAI indicators, both
positively and adversely. We aim to manage the risk connected to PAI from our investment
decisions in several ways, including general screening criteria, due diligence and our ESG
initiatives. Some of the PAI indicators listed below are currently already being monitored andreported. As the availability of data improves, it is our intention that more indicators will be
added.

4. Lack of a supplier code of conduct
We require our tenants and our property manager toimplement social and environmental policies and measures.
We have raised tenants’ awareness of environmental issues
by providing tenants with energy saving techniques withguidebooks and other information available on our website.

We conduct periodic review of our suppliers’ social andenvironmental initiatives. We evaluate our property
manager once a year to confirm if it has an organizational
structure to carry out its property management businessappropriately.
Because all of our tenants are individuals, they do not haveany “supplier code of conduct” per se. However, as ofFebruary 28, 2023, all of the tenants in NAF’s residential
properties (94.9% of the properties in NAF’s portfolio
based on the number of properties) were required to saveenergy and water to mitigate the burden on the environment
under their lease agreements with us.
6. Insufficient whistleblower protection

Compliance Officer or outside consultants when they
become aware of any compliance problem. The Chief

PAI indicators, please refer to our ESG website with respect to NAF: https://www.nafr.jp/english/esg/index.html.
3. Description of policies to identify and prioritize principal adverse sustainability
impacts
Subject to data availability, we monitor the selected PAI indicators for the existing properties
in our portfolio.
Prior to our investment in a property, we conduct due diligence review of the property,
including not only profitability, but also environmental features, which includes selected PAI
indicators. The due diligence findings related to selected PAI indicators are reported andreviewed prior to the investment decision.

We have a Green Finance Framework, which received the highest rank “Green 1(F)” by
Japan Credit Rating Agency, Ltd. (“JCR”) on June 18, 2020. JCR evaluates green bondissuance or green loan borrowing policies for the purpose of ensuring compliance with theInternational Capital Markets Association’s (ICMA) International Green Bond Principles, theLoan Market Association’s Green Loan Principles or the Guidelines for Green Bonds
established by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan. Our Green Finance Framework
consists of (1) use of proceeds, (2) eligibility criteria, (3) process for project evaluation andselection, (4) management of proceeds, (5) reporting. When we select properties forinvestment in connection with our green bonds or green loans, the properties need to meet theeligibility criteria. We consider a property to be an “eligible green asset“ if it obtained or willobtain either of the following certifications: 3, 4, or 5 Stars under the DBJ Green Building
Certification; 3 Stars, 4 Stars, or 5 Stars under the BELS Certification; B+, A, or S rank under
the CASBEE certification for Real Estate; or rating of an equivalent level to the above underanother green building certification.
For further information, please refer to our ESG website: https://www.nafr.jp/english/esg/finance/sustainability-finance.html.
4. Engagement policies
Due diligence and screening
Prior to our investment in a property, the Asset Manager conducts due diligence review of theproperty, including its environment and soil. Specifically, we investigate whether there are
any harmful substances such as asbestos in buildings, and we review the history of its land
use and as appropriate retain experts to investigate soil contamination.
At the properties we operate, we set numerical targets for our entire facilities and monitor theamount of energy consumption, electricity consumption as well as the amount of CO2
emissions of common areas of our properties in order to reduce our environmental burden.
Engagement
We require our property manager and other business partners including our tenants tounderstand and collaborate on our initiatives concerning sustainability and establish
environmental and social measures and policies.
We conduct periodic review of our suppliers’ environmental and social initiatives. We
evaluate our property manager once a year to confirm if it has an organizational structure tocarry out its property management business appropriately. In particular, we monitor thefollowing aspects of our property manager: (1) operational specifications, reported data andtypes of meetings held, (2) the personnel system, appropriateness of the number of business
units each person is in charge and any changes in the organizational system, and (3)compliance status.
We outsource property management of our properties to Mitsui Fudosan Residential Lease
Co., Ltd., which has proactively worked on environmental issues, and observes the Mitsui
Fudosan Group’s environmental policy and collaborates with us in implementing
environmental initiatives.

Through the above collaboration, we have raised tenants’ awareness of environmental issues
by providing tenants with energy saving techniques with guidebooks and other information
available on our website, and have implemented other measures to reduce the environmentalload of our properties.
Also under lease agreements with our tenants of rental apartments, which as of December 31,
2022 accounted for over 90% of our entire portfolio (based on the number of properties), we
require the tenants to save energy and water to mitigate the burden on the environment.
5. References to international standards
We support for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) and in
February 2020, we identified for ourselves a set of material ESG issues that we believe must
be addressed to meet global standards to contribute to SDGs. The Asset Manager also
expressed its support for the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related
Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) in September 2021, and also joined the TCFD Consortium,
an organization made up of Japanese companies that support the recommendations.
