Main initiatives

Participation in GRESB 2023

GRESB is an annual benchmark assessment to measure ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) integration of real estate companies and funds, as well as the name of organization which runs the assessment. It was founded in 2009 by a group of major European pension funds who played a leading role in launching the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). In the 2023 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, FRC received a “4 Stars” for the 3rd consecutive year in GRESB Rating, which is based on GRESB Overall Score and its quintile position relative to global participants. It also won a “Green Star” designation for the 6th consecutive year by achieving high performance both in “Management Component” that evaluates policies and organizational structure for ESG promotion, and “Performance Component” that assesses environmental performance and tenant engagement of properties owned.

GRESB Public Disclosure

FRC also received the highest “A Level” for the GRESB Public Disclosure, which assess the width of our ESG disclosure.

Signing of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) (September 2018)

PRI comprises an international network of financial institution investors working to realize six principles for the finance industry, which were established in 2006 under the leadership of then-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. PRI encourages the incorporation of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues into investment decision-making processes, aiming to thereby help companies enhance their long-term investment performance and better fulfill their fiduciary duty. As of September 2018, more than 2,000 institutions representing more than US$80 trillion in assets under management have signed on to PRI. Fukuoka Realty agrees with the basic approach of PRI and became a signatory in September 2018.

Signing of the Principles for Financial Action towards a Sustainable Society (Principles for Financial Action for the 21st Century) (September 2018)

The Principles for Financial Action towards a Sustainable Society (Principles for Financial Action for the 21st Century) were drawn up in October 2011, with the Ministry of Environment serving as secretariat, as guidelines for action by financial institutions seeking to fulfill their roles and responsibilities necessary for the establishment of a sustainable society. Fukuoka Realty agreed to the concept of the principles and became a signatory in September 5, 2018.
