Environmental Collaboration Efforts with Tenant・Stakeholders
MEL and MJIA, endeavors to contribute to a sustainable environment by improving the environmental performance of the properties under management. However, we believe that the understanding and cooperation of tenants are also important. We aim to collaborate for a sustainable environmental society in order to promote awareness-raising activities for tenants. MEL has introduced Green Lease contract that allows both building owners and tenants to share merits, and actively promoted sustainability-related initiatives in cooperation with tenants.
Aggressive Introduction of Green Lease
MEL has concluded Green Lease contract between the owner and the tenant and been installing LED lighting in the tenant's exclusive area at the expense of MEL. Under the Green Lease contract, tenants can reduce electricity charges and maintenance costs (tube replacement costs), and MEL receives Green Lease fee as a portion of the cost-savings. Furthermore, to promote energy-saving measures in cooperation with tenants, MEL has introduced Green Lease clauses (environmentally conscious clauses) to the fixed-term building lease contract templates for all properties.
Awareness-Raising Activities for Tenants
In order to take the lead in energy-saving activities, we have prepared building regulation manuals describing the environmental cooperation clause such as waste sorting, recycling recommendations, air conditioning operation standards, idling stopping. In addition, we are implementing awareness-raising activities by distributing posters to common areas on each floor.
Sustainability guides for our Tenants
MJIA prepared and distributed the Tenant Sustainability Guide in 2021 with the aim of promoting sustainability-related initiatives together with tenants.
Cooperation with Property Management Company and Selection Criteria・Evaluation Measures
MEL has established a criteria for the selection of property management companies to which property management is entrusted, and in principle, evaluates all property management companies once a year.
MEL and MJIA are engaging with property management companies to share our vision, policies of sustainability and when making contract with a new tenant, property managers explain these ideas to tenants to achieve their cooperation.
Education to Employees on Sustainability
MJIA provides sustainability training annually by external specialist to improve awareness and knowledge on sustainability for its employees.
