Respect for Human Rights

Policy and Concept

The Tokyo Tatemono Group supports the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the International Bill of Human Rights, international labor standards such as the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The Group has established the Tokyo Tatemono Group Human Rights Policy, which is based on the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Everyone who works at the Group must adhere to this policy. We also expect that our business partners and other stakeholders comply with the policy. The Group strongly recognizes the importance of respecting the human rights of all stakeholders involved in our business. Based on this policy, we will conduct human rights due diligence to identify, mitigate, correct, and remedy any human rights issues in our business.

In addition, we have established Sustainable Procurement Standards for our supply chain. We also request that our business partners promote initiatives that support respect for human rights.
The Group has identified Diversity and Inclusion and Strengthening our Risk Management Framework as material issues. We are pursuing initiatives aimed at protecting the human rights of our employees and other stakeholders. We will make every effort to disseminate our policy and standards on respect for human rights, given its critical importance as a foundation for these issues.

System

Our Human Resources Department plays a central role in the system we have established for respecting human rights, working with related departments and Group companies while coordinating with outside experts.
In addition, we have put in place a system for identifying issues and risks related to human rights and discussing measures to address these under the supervision of the Board of Directors. This is facilitated by the Sustainability Committee, a meeting body directly under the President, which discusses and shares our actions to address these areas.

Initiatives for Human Rights Due Diligence

The Tokyo Tatemono Group is committed to establishing a human rights due diligence in accordance with the Tokyo Tatemono Group Human Rights Policy. In November 2021, we held a workshop on human rights issues with the participation of 21 companies in our Group. The workshop used a human rights risk map created in 2020 with the help of external experts.
The Sustainability Committee discussed human rights issues the Group has to address as priority issues and identified the following. This list, which focuses on issues that affect the Group, our suppliers, our customers and local communities, is based on the content of the workshop, which included a review of human rights issues, a risk assessment, and a discussion.
Based on the priority issues identified, we are working to understand the current status throughout our business of human rights issues, which vary between business field and country or region. We will take appropriate action should we identify any problems.

Supply Chain Management

Policy and Concept

The Tokyo Tatemono Group engages in business in collaboration with numerous business partners, including design and construction companies. Like the Group, our business partners also have an impact on the environment and on society, such as through the procurement of materials and employment associated with construction. We therefore believe that building a sustainable supply chain is indispensable to bringing about a sustainable society.
In May 2021, the Group formulated Sustainable Procurement Standards based on our recognition of the need to pursue sustainable procurement throughout the supply chain in a way that ensures respect for human rights as well as consideration of environmental conservation.

The procurement standards apply to all business partners involved in Group businesses. They clearly set out the nine areas we consider critical: Observance of Laws and Regulations; Respect for Human Rights; Assurance of Sound Labor Practices and Working Environments; Fair Business Activities; Assurance and Improvement of Safety and Quality; Environmental Considerations, Co-existing with Local Communities; Formulation and Construction of a BCP Framework; and Collaboration in the Supply Chain.

Going forward, we will continue to be in dialogue with our business partners to gain even greater understanding and cooperation regarding the procurement standards as we pursue sustainable procurement throughout the supply chain.

Improving Quality and Customer Satisfaction

Policy and Concept

The Tokyo Tatemono Group strives to offer services and mechanisms for improving quality and customer satisfaction, with the aim of promoting safety and security in urban development.
We pay attention not only to quality in the “hard” aspect of our business—our buildings—but also to quality in the “soft” aspect, such as through the services we provide to our customers. We believe that our competitiveness as a business derives from building safe and secure communities and continuing to improve customer satisfaction. For this reason, we strive to bring vitality to areas, foster the interactions of people, and strengthen cooperation with the local community, pursuing community development that improves the allure of the areas around our buildings and helps to address social issues, such as disaster prevention. We also seek to create opportunities for communication with our customers, eliciting feedback to accurately gauge their needs. The information and expertise gained through these efforts shapes our future development.

Revitalizing Housing Complexes

Policy and Concept

Housing complexes built throughout Japan supported the nation’s rapid growth after World War II. Several decades later, many of these aging structures face serious issues, including concerns about resilience against earthquakes and security and the lack of elevators. Moreover, although these housing complexes were once home to many child-rearing families, resident populations are now aging and declining. Consequently, in addition to revitalizing the aging structures themselves, a major issue is the revitalization of communities that foster the interpersonal connections of local residents.
By updating our existing stock of housing complexes and buildings, the Group is contributing to the creation of safer and more secure communities for customers and local residents. Renewing existing stock also enables us to create new value for the coming era and to revitalize local communities.

Contributing to Our Communities

Policy and Concept

The Tokyo Tatemono Group believes that community engagement and volunteer activities contribute not only to community development, but also to sustainable business growth. With this in mind, we conduct a variety of activities to help connect people in urban environments while supporting the well-being of local residents.
In the various regions where our Group operates, we recruit employees to drive local revitalization events and participate in community cleanup activities, using these community and volunteer activities to raise the value of our local communities.
As a member of the local community, we pursue urban development and community development. Through these activities, we help build a prosperous society.

Human Resource Investment and Development

Policy and Concept

Tokyo Tatemono strives to develop the skills of employees, reflecting our belief that talent is the foundation from which sustainable corporate growth is built.
In 2012, we revised a number of human resources systems to better cultivate talent and create workplaces capable of creating added value. At the same time, we strive to innovate ourselves into a highly optimized organizational culture beyond individual or departmental optimization. As part of our innovation, we formulated our Human Resource Policy, based on which we have built our human resource development system.
We have also identified improving employee growth and job satisfaction as a material issue for the Group. To address this issue, we have established average training time of 15 hours or more of training per employee and a 100% career training participation rate each year as targets for promoting skills development.

Diversity & Inclusion

Policy and Concept

With a shrinking population due to declining birthrates and aging demographics, it is important now more than ever to effectively utilize a workforce that includes women, senior citizens, and others in order to build a sustainable society. Organizations with diverse talent will be able to provide broader perspectives and make better decisions in service offerings from many different views.
Tokyo Tatemono established a Human Resource Policy that includes creating a fulfilling, rewarding workplace in which employees can experience growth and feel satisfaction from their work. We have identified diversity and inclusion as one of our material issues. To deliver on this issue, we have set the following targets: increase the ratio of women in management positions to 10% or more by fiscal 2030; maintain an annual employment ratio of 2.3% or more of persons with disabilities; and increase the ratio of male employees taking childcare leave to 30% or more by fiscal 2025.
We pursue the creation of an environment in which diverse human resources are motivated and dedicated in their work, acting freely without obstacle. We use work style reforms to enhance efficiency and enable a healthy work-life balance. We believe that these efforts will inspire innovations for providing customer-focused services and enhancing productivity, which will lead to corporate growth.
