Green Building Certification

Policy and Approach

MHR aims to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and maximization of unitholder value in the medium to long term by investing in high-quality urban assets while striving to improve various environmental and social performance levels.
MIM obtains a third-party sustainability evaluation in order to better understand its own achievement level and uses this as a benchmark for further improvement.
MIM has established the following objectives and is taking action to acquire Green Building Certifications.

Acquisition of Highest Rank in CASBEE Real Estate Certification System

The Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE) was established under the leadership of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to appropriately identify and evaluate profit-oriented real estate such as office buildings which are well managed and have high environmental performance and value.
CASBEE Real Estate Certification System evaluates five categories, namely “energy and greenhouse gases,” “water,” “resource use and safety,” “biodiversity and site” and “indoor environment,” considering indices that are common around the globe such as LEED, an international environmental certification system.
