Message from the Management
Sustainability Promotion System
Our operations connected to sustainability are promoted primarily by the Sustainability Committee established by MIM.
The Chairperson of the Committee is the President & CEO, all general managers and some planning department staff comprise the committeepersons. Various initiatives are implemented based on the Sustainability Promotion Program which is established every fiscal year.
In principle, the Committee meets twice a year and formulates policies and the content of the Sustainability Promotion Program, monitors progress of programs, deliberates on various suggestions from departments, etc. in light of social conditions and the operating status of MHR.
The President & CEO approves the policies and promotion programs, constantly monitors the thorough promotion of sustainability, and establishes and maintains a sustainability promotion structure as a responsible party in promoting sustainability.
Moreover, sustainability-related efforts are reported on periodically to the Board of Directors of both MHR and MIM.
Each Board oversees the status of initiatives for important issues related to ESG and the status of compliance and risk management.
Initiatives throughout the Entire Supply Chain
Promotion of sustainability operations, whether environmental or social, requires initiatives that involve the whole supply chain. We believe that joint initiatives with various stakeholders with aligned values are necessary.
By actively encouraging interactive communication with stakeholders such as tenants, local residents, property management companies and with our sponsor Mori Building, and by aligning our values, we aim to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
Important ESG Issues (Materiality)
Materiality Identification Process
MHR identified areas of Materiality in 2020 through the following process.
- The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are 17 goals included in the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development which was adopted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit held in September 2015.
- ISO 26000 is an international standard for organizational social responsibility published in 2010 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- The GRI Standards is an international standard related to sustainability reporting established in 2016 by Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an international non-profit organization.
- SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) is a U.S. non-governmental organization that proposes standards for sustainability information disclosure for companies. SASB develops sector-specific and industry-specific sustainability accounting standards (SASB standards) for companies for when they disclose sustainability information to investors.
