Tokyo, Japan, April 21, 2022 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, hereby announces that it has entered the 10th year since it launched the logistics business in 2012.

The social environment surrounding the logistics industry has changed further. Sustainability-focused measures that seek to achieve the SDGs and a decarbonized society are urgently required. DX (digital transformation) of logistics is also crucial to address the decline in population and a serious labor shortage caused by rapid expansion of the EC market. Concurrently, tenant needs are diversifying across many areas. For example, there has been a need to strengthen infection control measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. To address such changes in the social environment and respond to tenant needs, Mitsui Fudosan will implement various measures focused on sustainability, DX and other areas, in anticipation of the next 10 years.

Mitsui Fudosan intends to promote the logistics business as a partner in developing solutions for our tenants and connect a wide variety of people, goods and ideas, tackling the challenge of creating value beyond conventional boundaries. Through these efforts, Mitsui Fudosan will contribute further to making life and society more fulfilling and sustainable for everyone.

1. Sustainability measures

(1) Installation of solar power generators

Mitsui Fudosan strives to install solar power generators on the rooftops of new logistics facilities to the greatest extent possible. Solar panels are also being actively installed on the rooftops of existing facilities as well. In addition, further use of natural energy using storage battery systems is also under consideration.

(2) Use 100% green energy* in common areas of all facilities

Mitsui Fudosan plans to use 100% green energy*2 in common areas of all facilities*1 during FY2022. In addition, in tenanted areas, Mitsui Fudosan will provide non-fossil certificates at the request of tenants.

*1 Electricity equivalent to Mitsui Fudosan's share of common areas (including partially owned, excluding electricity equivalent to in-house power generation within each facility)

*2 The term "greening" refers to the switching of electricity used to substantially renewable energy sources by using private solar power generators, non-fossil certificates and other means

(3) Promote the acquisition of DBJ Green Building Certification and ZEB Certification

Mitsui Fudosan will promote the acquisition of DBJ Green Building Certification, which evaluates the sustainability of real estate from the following 5 perspectives based on ESG: Environmental performance of buildings, comfort of tenant users, responsiveness to crises, consideration for diversity and living environments, and cooperation with stakeholders. For new properties, the Company's policy is to also acquire ZEB Certification through evaluation based on BELS (Building-Housing Energy-efficiency Labeling System).
