About the Mitsui Fudosan Group's Sustainability <br /> Based on the "& mark" philosophy of "creating new value through coexistence, co-existence, and co-creation, and continuing to take on challenges to that end," the Mitsui Fudosan Group views "creation of social value" and "creation of economic value" as two wheels of a car. We believe that creating social value leads to the creation of economic value, and that this economic value will enable us to create even greater social value.
When formulating our new group management philosophy in April 2024, we identified six "GROUP MATERIALITY" (priority issues): 1. Contribution 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 material issues through our core business and contribute to sustainability.

Furthermore, in April 2025, we formulated the "&EARTH for Nature" declaration, a declaration of coexistence with the environment in urban development. This declaration views the "environment" as a unified whole of nature, people, and communities, and promotes urban development that expands a rich "environment" and connects it to future generations. The five key priorities of this declaration are "protecting and nurturing greenery," "making the most of the appeal of water," "enriching ecosystems," "connecting the aspirations of the community," and "circulating natural resources." The initiatives described in this press release contribute to one of the key priorities of "&EARTH for Nature."
