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.

The Group is promoting this project collaboratiing with Ritsumeikan University as an example of an advanced industry-government-academia collaboration model that receives support from Kyoto Center for Community Collaboration.
