Integrated Approach to ESG Initiatives in the Global Construction and Real Estate Business

The Global Construction and Real Estate Business places value on construction that adapts to the living customs and culture of each region. Outside of Japan, we respect the management policies of our local Group companies to create a system that is able to provide products and services best suited to each region. For example, in the United States, enhancements to common areas such as walkways lush with nature and playgrounds as well as information centers built alongside pools, parks, cafés and other amenities in line with the scale of a development heighten community value and satisfaction of lifestyle environments.

In Australia, all-electric appliances and solar panels are standard equipment, adding value from the perspective of reducing environmental impact.

At the same time, we have established a system that enables us to take prompt and reliable action on important matters, including risk assessment in housing and real estate development and ensuring occupational health and safety at work sites, in accordance with Group policies and through communication with Sumitomo Forestry's head office.
