Message from the Management

Aiming to ensure stable revenue and steady growth of assets over the medium to long term, we will strive to manage assets in a manner that embraces ESG considerations while appropriately disclosing such performance.

Daiwa House REIT Investment Corporation and its asset manager Daiwa House Asset Management Co., Ltd. share the Daiwa House Group’s basic approach of “Creating Dreams, Building Hearts.” To attain a sustainable society, it is essential that we include environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) considerations in real estate investment management operations. We also believe that this will contribute to ensuring stable revenue and achieving steady asset growth over the medium to long term, which is DHR’s basic policy. As such, the Asset Manager established the Sustainability Policy in April 2017, and has been applying it to its real estate investment management business.

Additionally, DHR’s growth strategy calls for efforts to increase unitholder value by combining business (economic) value and social (non-financial) value. Strategies to increase social (non-financial) value include (1) improving ESG ratings from GRESB, CDP, and other third-party organizations, (2) reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, (3) promoting the conservation of biodiversity, (4) reducing asset management risk through the Asset Manager’s human capital and health management, and (5) committing to increasing social value by introducing sustainability index-linked fees.
