As society becomes increasingly concerned about sustainability, companies are required to take various actions to resolve issues related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG). Regarding our business initiatives for addressing issues related to the environment, such as climate change, conserving water resources, preventing environmental pollution, conserving resources and reducing waste, issues facing society, such as those related to human rights and revitalization of communities, and issues related to governance, such as compliance with laws and regulations and risk management are the main issues. While we recognize these as medium to long term risk factors, we also believe that they will lead to improved corporate value and unitholder value, including the creation of new value and new business opportunities. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 has been the catalyst for a further emphasis on ensuring the health and safe living of the working people.

In the asset management business as well, it is extremely important to address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in all aspects of our operations. We believe that logistics facilities are social infrastructure, which are the main investment target for Mitsui Fudosan Logistics Park Inc. ("MFLP-REIT"), can especially contribute to resolving environmental and social issues.

Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., the sponsor of MFLP-REIT, has established a Group Environmental Policy and a Policy for Social Contribution Initiatives in relation to activities that contribute to society and the environment, in accordance with its corporate statement of "Bringing affluence and comfort to urban living."

Mitsui Fudosan Logistics REIT Management Co., Ltd., the asset management company of MFLP-REIT, also established basic guidelines in the form of its ESG (Environment, Society, Governance) Policy in November 2017, and is forging ahead with ESG initiatives for the reduction of the environmental impact and for its stakeholders such as local communities and employees through the operation of logistics facilities and so forth.

Climate Change Initiatives

Awareness of climate change

The Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 clearly states a shared global goal of keeping the rise in average temperatures from pre-industrial revolution levels to well below 2°C. The Sixth IPCC Assessment Report (Working Group I Report), published in 2021, states that there is no longer any doubt that human activities have an impact on global warming; that unless significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are made over the next few decades the rise in temperature from pre-industrial revolution levels will exceed 1.5°C and 2°C during the 21st century; and that the climate system will undergo changes, including an increase in the intensity and frequency of natural disasters.

Strategy

In order to incorporate the uncertainties arising from the progression of climate change into the business strategy of the Asset Management Company, we have identified risks and opportunities, conducted scenario analyses based on a 1.5-2°C scenario and a 4°C scenario, and assessed the financial impact of climate-related risks and opportunities.

Scope of scenario analysis

Message Top

In November 2017, the Asset Management Company established the "ESG (Environment, Society, Governance) Policy" and is promoting ESG responses in order to maintain and improve the corporate value and the asset value of the properties under management over the medium to long term, and to contribute to all stakeholders. We recognize that addressing climate change is one of the most important issues.

Endorsement of the TCFD recommendations and participation in the TCFD Consortium

As noted above, in FY2021, the Asset Management Company endorsed the TCFD recommendations.

Identifying, assessing, and managing the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to MFLP-REIT's asset management business in line with the TCFD Final Recommendations and enhancing the resilience of the business, are essential to ensure the MFLP-REIT's sustainable and stable earnings over the long term. We will consider further enhancement of information disclosure in the future.

By endorsing the TCFD recommendations, the Asset Management Company joined the TCFD Consortium. Many Japanese companies and organizations that have endorsed the TCFD recommendations participate in this Consortium, where their approaches to promoting climate-related disclosure are discussed and shared. In addition to exchanging information with other participants through its activities in the Consortium, the Asset Management Company proactively disseminates information on its approach to climate-related disclosure.

In addition, as a member of the Association for Real Estate Securitization, the Asset Management Company regularly collects information on outstanding efforts by other member companies to reduce environmental burdens and build a sustainable society, which will be useful for further raising environmental awareness and expanding such efforts.

  • TCFD is an abbreviation for Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. This organization was established by the Financial Stability Board at the request of the G20, and provides a framework for climate-related disclosure.

The scope of the analysis is the asset management business of MFLP-REIT.
