• United Urban endeavors to collet environment data at its properties through smart meters installed and from partner companies every month. Those data include energy consumption, water consumption and waste. The collected data is analyzed by external energy experts and the PDCA cycle is followed to decrease environmental footprint at properties of United Urban. In November 2024, we acquired Eco Action 21 certification, an environmental management system formulated by the Ministry of the Environment of United Urban, for an entire portfolio of 132 properties^* as a means of promoting environmental management that realizes sustainable growth in both society and United Urban.
  • *All properties in the portfolio excluding land interest properties.
• Based on the measured results of electricity consumption, MRA's Sustainability Strategy Office and energy experts conduct annual energy conservation diagnoses with a focus on retail properties and hotels that consume relatively a large amount of electricity.
• The Sustainability Strategy Office hashes out an operational improvement plan for electricity consumption and works with the Asset Management Departments and our partner companies to execute the improvement plan.
• A year after the initial diagnosis, a follow-up diagnosis takes place. In addition to reviewing the energy conservation measures, it clarifies issues of execution in the improvement plan with partner companies.
• Furthermore, the management criteria (manual) stipulated in the Energy Saving Act (Act Concerning the Rational Use of Energy) is regularly reviewed for each property, and efforts are made towards continuous energy saving.

• In UUR, "Energy consumption and management, utilization of renewable energy" has been identified as materiality issues, and medium- to long-term action goals have been set as follows: "(1) Reduce total portfolio Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 (compared to 2021)(ii) By 2050, Reduce total GHG emissions including value chain (Scope 3) to net zero."
• In order to achieve the target, we have been procuring FIT non-fossil certificates through auctions on the renewable energy value exchange since 2020, in addition to switching the electricity menu. We are working to reduce the total amount of electricity-derived GHG emissions (Scope 2). In FY2023, we made approximately 24% of the total electricity used by the properties for which UUR is authorized to manage renewable energy.

Unietd Urban believes that the introduction of "additional" renewable energy, which aims to reduce GHG emissions through newly installed power generation facilities, becomes a more direct driver to make a net-zero society realized. And, we have set ICP as a critera when considering introductions of "additional" renewable energy.
United Urban will further reduce GHG emissions by promoting "additional" renewable energy, such as corporate PPA, based the use of ICP.

• Scope of application: Part of scope 2 and scope 3 (category 13)
• Set price: Not disclosed
• How to use: Introduction of "additional" renewables, such as corporate

The City of Yokohama awards the "Yokohama Climate Change Countermeasures Award" every year to businesses that have made significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and other outstanding achievements under the Yokohama City Action Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures System ^(Note).
For fiscal year 2022, six projects, including UUR, were selected for awards from among the 310 projects that submitted reports in fiscal year 2021 (announced in June 2022).
Since fiscal year 2012, UUR has continued to upgrade facilities that contribute to energy conservation, such as replacing air conditioning equipment with high-efficiency equipment and promoting the switch to LED lighting at the five properties that are eligible for the award.
In the future, we plan to update the elevator control and switch to LED lighting in the lots, mainly in the common areas.
