Under the philosophy of "investing in social infrastructure as a source for generating Japan's economic strength and supporting industrial activities in Japan through real estate," IIF is committed to building long-term, positive relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders, with a focus on revitalizing local communities and economies.
IIF stakeholders cover a wide range of roles, from investors, lenders and bondholders, to tenants making use of its properties and service providers related to property management (PM) and building management (BM), to members of the surrounding community, and to various government administrations.
We believe that it is our mission to build long-lasting relationships with this wide variety of stakeholders and to continue sustainable management.
IIF works to create important bonds with local communities by implementing disaster prevention measures and performing activities that contribute to society at every one of its wide range of properties.
IIF provides neighboring communities and governments with spaces and public open spaces at the real estate properties it owns.
IIF is engaging in activities that contribute to local communities in collaboration with government administrative authorities. IIF Shinagawa Data Center provides a shared open space as a sidewalk-like open space in a pocket park under an agreement with Shinagawa-ku. IIF’s activities in this pocket park, including providing meals using a food truck for employees working for tenants of IIF Shinagawa Data Center and neighboring residents, are contributing to the liveliness of the community.
Additionally, green areas are set aside for restoration of the natural environment, and to prepare for earthquake emergencies, a fireproof water tank has been installed for earthquake disaster prevention. For its cooperation in the installation of fireproof water tanks over the years, IIF has received a letter of appreciation from Shinagawa-ku as an organization cooperating in fire prevention operations.
In addition, IIF Shonan Health Innovation Park has concluded an environmental preservation agreement with the cities of Kamakura and Fujisawa, where the facility is located, in order to protect the health and safety of local residents and to preserve the living environment, by preventing environmental preservation problems, disasters, and accidents associated with the operation of the research facility.
Furthermore, once a year we hold an Environmental Preservation Liaison Conference as a forum to disclose information and provide explanations to local residents. Members of nearby neighborhood associations and residents’ associations are invited to the conference, where we report on the results of environmental measurements and other matters.
The property also held Shonan iPark Festa, which featured many events such as science experiences and science shows presented by tenant companies.
The IIF Mitaka Card Center provides a part of its site to Mitaka city for use as a park.
IIF not only cares about the safety of tenants of its industrial properties and facility environmental, but is also working together with tenants to find solutions in which the global environmental is considered.
By seeking to provide value to tenants, IIF continues to manage its portfolio using its “3C Management Cycle,” which is designed to realize internal growth through stable, long-term management that goes beyond the norm.
These activities serve as a foundation for IIF’s cooperation with tenants in initiatives such as provision of portable batteries and conclusion of green lease agreements.
IIF is actively upgrading equipment at the owner’s expense with the aim of reducing environmental burdens, and has already succeeded in reducing electricity consumption and GHG emissions through the installation of solar panels and LED lighting carried out in 2024. IIF plans to continue upgrading equipment and facilities to further reduce GHG emissions.
IIF conducts surveys of tenants related to the promotion of initiatives for climate change and tenant satisfaction. (Implementation: Jan.2025)
IIF seeks to promote environmental initiatives in cooperation with tenants, PM companies, and BM companies through continuous communication. IIF strives to promote measures that lead to environmental considerations by conducting questionnaires for tenants, including energy-saving measures, and making proposals in line with their requests. In parallel, recognizing that cooperation with PM companies and BM companies is essential to addressing environmental issues, IIF holds meetings that discuss and share measures. IIF includes clauses on environmental initiatives in our contracts, such as Commercial Agreements with each stakeholder, confirming our commitment to cooperation.
IIF invests in Japanese real estate. Japan is prone to earthquakes, and we thus promote disaster prevention measures for tenants of our investee properties from an investor point of view. Specifically, we are contributing to the occupational health and safety of our tenants through efforts such as monitor¬ing the implementation of disaster-preparedness drills.
IIF installs waterproofing board to prevent the inundation to the building.
At the IIF Mitaka Card Center, which is one of the properties owned by IIF, there is an interior courtyard whch is used by tenant employees as a place for meetings and having lunch. IIF is putting effort into maintaining the courtyard, such as by changing the flowers and trees planted there.
