Ken Takanashi, Executive Director,
Mitsubishi Estate Logistics REIT Investment Corporation

We consider our social responsibility to build close relationships with the surrounding communities over the medium to long term to support people's daily lives, and to work to improve sustainability through environmental considerations, social contributions, and enhanced governance with taking advantage of the comprehensive strengths of the Mitsubishi Estate Group. We believe that it is also essential to maximize unitholder value. Based on this belief, MEL is promoting various initiatives based on the MJIA's “Sustainability Policy (revised in January 2024).

As its most recent concrete efforts, We participated in the CDP Climate Change Program for the first time in 2023, and were recognized with an “A-list company” for climate change, the highest rating, in recognition of its internationally high level of management to climate change issues and its information disclosure stance. In addition, we have expanded our disclosure based on the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure) and conducted a quantitative analysis of climate change risks and opportunities. Furthermore, we have obtained SBTi certification (net-zero) for our total GHG emissions target for FY2050, which includes our entire value chain, on the grounds that it is based on scientific evidence, in addition to the SBTi certification (near-term) that we have already obtained.

We will continuously make sincere efforts to reduce our environmental impact; for example, promoting energy conservation in buildings, introducing of renewable energy, and getting Environmental Certifications for taking action on climate change. In addition, we will be conscious of responding to ever-changing social issues and ensuring reliable and transparent governance, and will work to ensure the safety and security of the real estate under our management, to improve comfort, and to build a governance system with a rich diversity.

The Mitsubishi Estate Group, to which MJIA belongs, has revised their key themes and materiality of sustainability and made a new start in fiscal 2024 amid changes in the natural and social environment and further complexity in the demands on companies concerning sustainability. We will also accelerate its efforts to solve social issues through real estate investment management, and will do its utmost to build a sustainable future together with its stakeholders, aiming to realize a truly valuable society as stated in the basic mission of the Mitsubishi Estate Group.
