SOCIAL/COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES

During the course of its business activities in a wide range of domains from development to operations management of real estate, the Group is connected with various regional communities. Therefore, we believe that it is our duty as a good corporate citizen to proactively fulfill a role to support and work with society while seeking harmonious balance between interests of our own and society.
As part of such efforts, the Group is engaged in social/community service activities mainly in its mainstay real estate field such as recovery support for disaster-stricken areas and conservation and management of traditional Kyomachiya (townhouse in Kyoto). We believe these activities will lead to pursuit of the “dream life” and realization of sustainable society.

Conservation and management of “Nagae Family Residence,” a tangible cultural property designated by Kyoto City

The Group acquired this property in 2015 to help preserve historical cultural assets and contribute to the local community. In 2018, to contribute to Kyoto City’s efforts to preserve and utilize historical architecture, we carried out restoration work on the “North Wing” of the main house of the Nagae Family Residence, which had undergone interior renovations in the late 1970s, restoring it to its original appearance.
The Group is advancing this initiative as a leading example of the Industry-Government- Academia collaboration model, which involves a partnership with Ritsumeikan University and is supported by the Kyoto Center for Community Collaboration.
In addition to preserving the property itself, we also contribute to preserving and passing down the traditional lifestyles and culture through annual events. For example, the former collection of Nagae Family is publicly displayed at the Byobu Matsuri (Folding Screen Festival) held during the Yoiyama period (July 14-16) leading up to the Saki Matsuri Yamahoko Junko (Procession of Floats) of the Gion Festival.
Due to these preservation activities, the Group received Good Design Award and Mayor’s Award and Excellence Award in Kyoto Landscape Award (Kyomachiya category) in 2019, and Association Award and Business Performance Award of Association of Urban Housing Sciences in 2020.

Exchange with social welfare corporation Fukudenkai

Since 2015, the Group has continuously organized school trips for children of “Miyashiro Gakuen,” a welfare-type facility for children with special needs run by a social welfare corporation Fukudenkai, with trip cost covered by the Group and about a dozen employees participating in the trip. These activities were recognized as contribution to welfare of Tokyo, and we received the “Chair’s Award of Tokyo Council of Social Welfare” at the 68th Tokyo Social Welfare Convention in 2019.
