Based on the philosophy of the "& Mark" of "creating new value through coexistence, coexistence, and co-creation, and continuing to take on new challenges to achieve this," the Mitsui Fudosan Group regards "creating social value" and "creating economic value" as two wheels of a car, and hopes that creating social value will lead to creating economic value, which will then create even greater social value. In addition, when formulating the new Group Management Philosophy in April 2024, the Group identified six "GROUP MATERIALITY (issues to be addressed)": "1. Contributing to industrial competitiveness," "2. Coexistence with the environment," "3. Health and vitality," "4. Safety and security," "5. Diversity and inclusion," and "6. Compliance and governance." We will address these materialities through our core business and contribute to sustainability.
