OUR ESG COMMITMENT
The Sogo Development Co., Ltd. is committed to contributing to the realization of a sustainable society by placing strong emphasis on ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) principles across all of our business activities. Among these, we view the respect for fundamental human rights and our responsibility to refrain from engaging in or supporting any form of misconduct or injustice as core to our corporate values. Through KYC (Know Your Customer) practices that ensure transparent transactions, environmental stewardship, and sound, ethical governance, we strive to be a corporate group that earns the enduring trust of society.
<Sustainable Real Estate Development>
Within our real estate and construction businesses, the Sogo Group places great importance on reducing environmental impact. The property we developed -“SILVERADO SHIBASAKI-CHO” has been recognized for both its environmental performance and comfort, achieving Green Building certification. We will continue to pursue environmentally conscious development that harmonizes with local communities and contributes to the creation of sustainable urban environments.
<KYC, Respect for Human Rights and the Prohibition of Child and Forced Labor>
The Sogo Bussan Group places the highest priority on preventing the misuse of financial systems — such as money laundering and terrorist financing — and ensuring the integrity and transparency of all transactions. Through the strict implementation of KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, we work to eliminate any transactions that could be linked to unlawful funds or human rights violations, contributing to the creation of a safe and secure society.
We also respect internationally recognized human rights and strictly prohibit all forms of child labor and forced labor. In compliance with the core labor standards of the International Labor Organization (ILO), we strive to ensure that all employees and business partners operate in a fair, safe, and dignified working environment.
Furthermore, we actively promote the prevention of child and forced labor throughout our entire supply chain, upholding sustainable and responsible business practices. We respect human rights in all our business activities and value the relationships of trust we have built with our employees, business partners, and local communities.
<Sound and Transparent Management>
We maintain a firm commitment to compliance and ethical governance. We enforce strict adherence to laws and regulations, ensure complete separation from anti-social forces, and prohibit all forms of bribery and corruption.
We continue to promote ESG initiatives as an integrated effort — ensuring social trust through human rights protection and KYC-based transparency, pursuing environmentally responsible real estate development, and strengthening sound governance. We will also review and refine our policies as social conditions and legal frameworks evolve, continuously improving our practices to fulfill our role as a responsible and sustainable corporate citizen.
