Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd.

Tokyo, Japan, May 24, 2024 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, announced today that it fixed the pricing for issuing a green bond for funds to use in new investment and refinancing for the two properties of LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, and Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport SAKAI in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture.

This is the first record of Mitsui Fudosan issuing a green bond to be used to fund sports and entertainment facilities and retail facilities.

Our company established the Green Finance Framework and the Sustainability Linked Finance Framework*1 to promote the "Group Action Plan to Realize a Decarbonized Society" formulated in November 2021 from a financing perspective. Moreover, the Group's new long-term vision "& INNOVATION 2030", announced in April 2024, also stated that it will continue to promote "Sustainability Management" to proactively move forward in contributing to a sustainable society.

One of the business strategies of the new long-term vision "& INNOVATION 2030" is to "create neighborhoods harnessing the power of sports and entertainment." The facilities for which funds from these green bonds will be allocated are iconic of this type of neighborhood creation, with LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY, a large-scale, multi-purpose area having a capacity of 10,000 people, and Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport SAKAI, housing the Fansta XROSS STADIUM, an indoor stadium court where full-scale events can be enjoyed. Mitsui Fudosan will harness the power of sports and entertainment to provide extraordinary emotional experiences through a variety of events, and environments where visitors can spend the whole day enjoying activities such as shopping or dining before or after those events.

Mitsui Fudosan will continue to proactively engage in sustainable financing and contribute to the expansion of funding diversity and the realization of a sustainable society.

■Mitsui Fudosan Group Sustainability

Based on the meaning of its "& mark," "to generate new value with society through cooperation, coexistence and co-creation, we forge ahead, innovating," the Mitsui Fudosan Group views the "creation of social value" and the "creation of economic value" as two wheels of a cart. Accordingly, we believe that the creation of social value leads to the creation of economic value, and that this economic value then creates even greater social value.
Moreover, we identified six Group Materiality priority issues when formulating our new management philosophy in April 2024. These Group Materiality priority issues are (1) Contribute to industrial competitiveness, (2) Coexist with the environment, (3) Health and Vitality, (4) Safety and security, (5) Diversity and inclusion, and (6) Compliance and governance. The Mitsui Fudosan Group will work to address each of the materialities through its core business activities and contribute to the promotion of sustainability.
