Shin‐Daibiru Building

“Shin-Daibiru Building Dojima-no-mori” inherits the spirit of the former Shin-Daibiru Building rooftop tree garden and with the concept of “a forest that is good for not only people but also other living things” we have replanted some of the trees planted in the former building’s “rooftop tree garden,” including Japanese zelkovas and maples that are around 50 years old, and in addition we use primarily indigenous varieties of trees to create a green space of approximately 1,000 tsubo, the same as in the former building. Due to these initiatives, we became the first in West Japan to acquire AAA evaluation, the highest rank, in JHEP Certification which evaluates contributions to the ecosystem.
Note that an external organization carried out an organism monitoring study in FY 2016 and FY 2020 after the completion of “Shin-Daibiru Building Dojima-no-Mori“, to specifically ascertain the contribution to the ecosystem and the results confirmed that a food chain had been established to some extent in Dojima-no-mori. For birds and insects, this kind of habitat environment is valuable in a city, so we were evaluated as having lmade a arge contribution to the ecosystem.

Promotion of Conclusion of Green Lease Agreements

"Green lease" refers to the voluntary agreement on the cooperative promotion of environmentally friendly initiatives such as the reduction of energy consumption and waste and the acquisition of environmental certifications by building owners and tenants reached by concluding lease contracts, etc., and the implementation of such initiatives.
GOR promotes the incorporation of green lease clauses into lease contracts as an endeavor on conservation of energy and CO₂ emissions reduction in cooperation with tenants.

• The KPI for the conclusion of green lease agreements was changed from “Implementation rate in new contracts” to “Implementation rate in all contracts” in fiscal 2022.
  In fiscal 2024, the implementation rate in new contracts was 100% (excluding master lease agreements) and the implementation rate in all contracts was 48.5%.

Cooperation with Business Partners
