The AEON Group has adopted the AEON Sustainability Principle, a policy for the entire group aiming to achieve further progress in the development of the sustainable society. Based on this principle, the AEON Group is pursuing a course of sustainable management while addressing its priority agenda, including the "realization of a zero-carbon society," "conservation of biodiversity," and "promotion of resource recycling" for the environment. The agenda also includes social issues to be addressed such as the "development of products and stores that are capable of meeting people's expectations in society," "embedding respect for human rights across business operations," and "collaborations with local communities."

In recent years, moreover, the need to consider ESG has begun to earn widespread recognition in the asset management industry. This reflects the idea, based on factors such as stricter environmental regulations and changing awareness of tenants and customers, that consideration for ESG is imperative to sustain and enhance property value over the medium to long term.

With its basic philosophy of "contributing to the enrichment of peo ple's lives and local communities through investment in retail and related properties," the Investment Corporation aims to ensure stable income over the medium to long term by investing in assets that form the backbone of local communities and their lifestyle infrastructure."

AEON Reit Management Co., Ltd., Asset Manager, to which the Investment Corporation entrusts the management of its assets, adopted a "Sustainability Policy" on January 14, 2016 and aims to consider ESG in all aspects of work cooperating with the AEON Group. It will work with stakeholders to facilitate this in order to realize these philosophies and goals.
