Contributions to the Environment through Our Portfolio
MEL implements environmental considerations and reduction of environmental impact in the real estate under its management under the basic policy listed in the Environmental Management Policy and Goals.
Renewable Energy Use
Mitsubishi Estate Group is committed to develop environmentally friendly facilities which are key components of its ESG initiatives. As part of its renewable energy program, Mitsubishi Estate plans to install solar panels systems on the rooftops of facilities. In addition, MEL is considering to install solar panels for the properties that has no yet been installed.
Energy Saving Initiatives
MEL conducts "sampling energy saving diagnosis" by BM companies and specialized companies as appropriate to understand the current state of energy saving and to use it in formulating future policies.
ESG evaluation at the time of property acquisition
Before acquiring a property, MEL evaluates the property by reviewing whether or not Environmental Certification has been obtained in addition to the basic inspections on physical, legal, economic, and other aspects.
Furthermore, we conduct onsite inspections of the subject land, as well as third-party engineering reports, soil contamination risk reports, and other environment-related surveys, and make decisions after considering environmental factors such as soil contamination and toxic substances.
Creation of greenery through green spaces, etc.
MEL is promoting measures such as installing public green spaces from the viewpoint of environmental consideration and biodiversity conservation.
Green spaces are public open spaces that mainly have a natural environment and are used for environmental conservation, pollution mitigation, disaster prevention, landscape improvement, and use as green roads.
Preserving Water Resources
We are working on reducing water consumption by installing water meters that support automatic meter readings, water-saving toilets and Flushing sound simulators, and by installing smart irrigation facilities.
Promoting Waste Reduction
We are continuously monitoring the amount of waste discharged and working with our tenants to reduce waste with the aim of ensuring proper separation of waste and improvement of the recycling rate. Reuse of OA floor panels used in office buildings in the Marunouchi area was also implemented.
