Conservation of Water Resources
Perceptions and Policies on Water Resources
In response to the risk of drought due to climate change and the shortage of water resources due to global population growth, the demand side is required to effectively utilize water resources such as groundwater, rainwater, and reuse of wastewater and recycled water to ensure the stability of water supply.
MIRARTH HOLDINGS Group's environmental policy stipulates that the Group will work to conserve the water environment and reduce its environmental impact as part of its "Promotion of Resource Recycling.” For office buildings and commercial facilities developed by the Group, we will promote the effective use and appropriate management of water resources from the design stage to reduce water consumption. Also, we are systematically updating facilities with water-saving equipment that contributes to reducing environmental impact in renovation projects.
Targets and Achievements
Water Consumption Reduction Targets
In real estate development and renovation projects, we will promote the introduction and switchover of water-saving devices etc. In addition, we will improve the rules and regulations of the "Design Standards" and "Quality Manual."

Waste Reduction
Perceptions and Policies on Waste Reduction
With the emergence of global resource constraints and the increasing frequency and severity of disasters, the situation surrounding waste disposal and recycling is changing dramatically. We recognize the need for companies that generate waste to reduce emissions and properly manage waste disposal.
Our Group's environmental policy stipulates that we will strive to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to "forming a recycling-oriented society" through the promotion of the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle). In addition, we are committed to thorough separation of recyclable waste and reduction of waste emissions at all stages of building design, construction, operation and management, and demolition in our group's business activities.
Targets and Achievements
Waste Emission Reduction Targets
Regarding waste emissions, we will strive to reduce waste emissions per unit of production from the previous year by promoting the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle).

Recycling Umbrellas
MIRARTH HOLDINGS Group collects plastic umbrellas left in the company's umbrella stands and donates them to MONDO DESIGN co., ltd’s "Umbrella Recycling Program." Under this program, the plastic parts of the collected umbrellas are upcycled into products under MONDO DESIGN 's brand, PLASTICITY. The purchase price of the plastic umbrella materials will be donated to "greenbird," a certified NPO that conducts community development through cleanup activities in Japan and around the world and will be used for tongs to pick up trash and for operating expenses for the team to clean up the city.
