Initiatives to Achieve Targets
- DHR has established and is working to achieve quantitative metrics and targets for nature-related risks/opportunities and dependencies/impacts that are considered to be material in business operations.
- DHR has set a target for the obtainment of biodiversity-related certifications in addition to climate-related targets and will disclose progress in the Sustainability Report and on the website.
- DHR will consider setting targets based on the guidance of the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) in the future.
| TNFD | TCFD | Category | Subject of management | Metrics | Target | Initiatives to achieve the target | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✓ | Risk | Market | Impact on business from rising biodiversity needs of customers | Biodiversity-related certifications | Increase the number of certified properties from two in FY2023 to five or more in FY2030 |

Obtaining Biodiversity-related Certifications
DHR has set the following targets in consideration of the impact on business from rising biodiversity needs of customers.
| Targets | 5 properties (fiscal year ending March 2031) |
|---|---|
| Actual | 2 properties (As of March 31, 2025) |
Obtaining JHEP Certification (Royal Parks Toyosu)
Overview of JHEP certification
JHEP is a certification system to objectively and quantitatively evaluate and certify the degree of contribution to biodiversity conservation. JHEP compares biodiversity values before and after a project, and if the values after a project are equal to or greater than those before a project, it is certified by a third-party organization as a project that contributes to biodiversity, with evaluation rank represented on a six-tier (AAA to B+) scale.
Please see below for the details of JHEP certification.
Website for JHEP certification: https://www.ecosys.or.jp/certification/jhep/index.html
Points highlighted in JHEP certification
- While the subject property is surrounded by commercial areas and offices, there is an abundance of greenery on the exterior and rooftop.
- No species on the List of Invasive Alien Species for the Prevention of Ecosystem Damage or unevaluated alien species are being used, and there are no plans to use them in the future.
Please see below for the details of Royal Parks Toyosu’s evaluation.

Obtaining ABINC Certification (Royal Parks Hanakoganei)
Overview of ABINC certification
ABINC is a system to evaluate and certify biodiversity-friendly initiatives based on the Guideline for Offices Promoting Symbiosis with Life Forms developed by the Japan Business Initiative for Biodiversity (JBIB), and no evaluation rank is assigned.
Please see below for the details of ABINC certification.
Website for ABINC Certification: https://www3.abinc.or.jp/
Points highlighted in ABINC certification
- A diverse environment is maintained, with woodlands, grasslands, and waterside areas, as well as relatively large trees.
- A rain garden has been created, and efforts are being made to consider rainwater circulation.
Please see below for the details of Royal Parks Hanakoganei’s evaluation.

Dependency and Impact Status
Energy Data (Dependencies)
Energy consumption

- Current status
- While the intensity is on a decreasing trend due to the promotion of energy-saving measures, the total amount is on an increasing trend due to an increase in the number of properties owned and an increase in the coverage ratio.
- Countermeasures
- See “Metrics and Targets and Initiatives to Achieve Targets.”
Water consumption

- Current status
- While the intensity is on a decreasing trend due to the installation of water conservation equipment, the total amount is on an increasing trend due to an increase in the number of properties owned and an increase in the coverage ratio.
- Countermeasures
- See “Metrics and Targets and Initiatives to Achieve Targets.”
Emissions Data (Impact)
GHG Emissions of Portfolio Properties

- Scope 2 (location-based)
- Current status
- While the intensity is on a decreasing trend due to the promotion of energy-saving measures and the introduction of renewable energy, the total amount is on an increasing trend due to an increase in the number of properties owned and an increase in the coverage ratio.
- Countermeasures
- See “Metrics and Targets and Initiatives to Achieve Targets.”
Waste management (recycling rate)

- Current status
- While the recycling rate is increasing due to the promotion of recycling, the total amount is on an increasing trend due to an increase in the number of properties owned and an increase in the coverage ratio.
- Countermeasures
- See “Metrics and Targets and Initiatives to Achieve Targets.”
- <Aggregation period> From April to March every year.
- <Calculation method> Calculated using only portfolio properties for which the requisite data are available. Emission intensity is calculated by dividing total electricity usage and CO2 emissions by intensity denominator (gross floor area (m2)).
Promotion of Environmentally Friendly Tree Name Plates
DHR is using tree name plates for the properties it owns in the hope that tenant companies will feel closer to nature and nurture their planting with affection for many years.
Introduction of Biodiversity Protection Program
DHR is reducing the use of plastics by switching the location of provision of hair and tooth brushes from rooms to an amenities counter near the front desk at some of its hotels.
“QiZ GATE URAWA” is reducing plastic waste by using recycled trash bags made from used stretch films, which would be normally disposed of as trash, for the trash bags in common areas.
